A family one day discovers that they've fallen into a web of indiscretion. A sixty-year-old grandmother finally discovers meaning in her life through an affair with her elementary school sweetheart. But instead of condemnation, the daughter-in-law silently applauds her mother-in-law's confessions of "folly". The husband presents himself as a model citizen-attorney, but in fact, he's a born playboy who untiringly focuses his energy on wooing women despite his love and devotion to his family. The wife, meanwhile, observes her spouse's hypocrisy with disdain rather than anguish. Eventually, she too decides to bring little change to her life by giving the next door neighbour's teenage son who had been spying on her, a lesson or two on sex. So what's the big deal about having a little fun and romance when it could perhaps brighten things up a bit? Edit Translation

Reviews
Anodina, pero no por ello mala.
Im Sang-soo siempre ha sido un director bien considerado dentro de la ola del Nuevo Cine Coreano ya desde su debut en 1998 con "Girls's Night Out". Sin embargo, lo que yo he visto de él no me ha demostrado en ningún momento que se trata de uno de los grandes directores de su país y "La Mujer del Abogado" es una muestra más, ya que es una película dramática en la que se narran las vicisitudes de un matrimonio en crisis que más allá de la carga erótica y las buenas interpretaciones de sus dos protagonistas, no es memorable.
