In the 1990s Minji was a child star on an easy road, winning a film award that half the country watched live, until her rival Seri shot past her and, at fifteen, she gave up. Seri lasted longer, through music videos and advertisements, but a scandal at twenty made her the textbook case of a child star gone wrong. When the two women run into each other years later, the rivalry adults had set up between them has crumbled. As girls, cast together by a revered director and made to look innocent and pretty on command, they had been each other's support. Now that adults-only film, which neither has watched, is to return to cinemas as a classic reinterpreted.
