Yourself and Yours (2016)

Hong Sang-soo, despite his ways and habit of making his films the same in all, but plot, was able to trick the audience into falling into “this is a dream trap”for the ending by showing us a tell, only to have Not Min Jung come into frame. The film was a puzzle that I had trouble figuring out and I didn't expect a happy reunion between the two main characters, especially in the film that usually leads to sad endings or wrong life choices. I believe that Not Min Jung and Yeong Soo meeting at the end signified their pure love for each other. Min Jung drank with many men - wolves - that she met but, like she said, they didn't fit hence why Min Jung was crying at the end. She realised she truly loved Yeong Soo. Her denying that she wasn't Min Jung was her shedding her old attitude and was a restart, something that Yeong- Soo was absolutely desperate for as well. The ending scene was so sweet in many ways. The first scene we saw the two in had the two arguing and unhappy but they climaxed with happy and flushed faces like the happy couple they wanted to be.
