Favorite Concubine (2020)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

Jun-soo, a rich old man, decides to live in a local villa after retirement due to paralysis and health reasons. Only Jun-soo's wife, Hye-sook, and Joo-seok, will move to the provinces, and Hye-sook will only wait for the day Jun-soo dies. Jun-soo gradually becomes paralyzed, so he relies on a wheelchair, and Hye-sook meets up Joo-seok. However, Jun-soo suffered from paralysis that night. Unaware of this, Hye-sook and Joo-seok hire Jun-soo's caregiver to avoid Jun-soo and enjoy comfortably, but Joo-seok begins to look at the caregiver. After learning about the affair between Hye-sook and Joo-seok, Jun-soo begins to make a secret proposal to So-eun.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
