PLEASE LOOK AFTER MOTHER is the story of So-nyo, a wife and mother, who has lived a life of sacrifice and compromise. In the past she suffered a stroke, leaving her vulnerable and often confused. Now, travelling from the Korean countryside to the Seoul of her grown-up children, So-nyo is separated from her husband when the doors close on a packed train. As her children and husband search the streets, they recall So-nyo's life, and all they have left unsaid. Through their piercing voices, we begin to discover the desires, heartaches, and secrets she harboured within. And as the mystery of her disappearance unravels, we uncover a larger mystery, that of all mothers and children: how affection, exasperation, hope and guilt add up to love. Compassionate, redemptive and beautifully written, PLEASE LOOK AFTER MOTHER will reconnect you to the story of your own family, and to the forgotten sacrifices that lie at its heart.

She didn’t choose the way and nobody knows...Only after the wife also the mother to five children went missing did they start to recognize her efforts for being such a surprising and sacrificial person. She didn’t choose the way and nobody knows how she came through all pains and hard times in life, but she made it without saying a word —affection, exasperation, hope and guilt add up to love.(展开)

真正的分离远早于地铁走失之前开始...人们对于自己的母亲除了“母亲”这个角色之外的生活关心太少...

汉文化圈，思维果然是一模一样。作为消遣读的，但是平和的叙述方式还是不错的。相对于荒谬的后现代，其实更欣赏坦诚叙事的勇气。
