I Want to Know Your Parents (Korean: 니 부모 얼굴이 보고 싶다; RR: Ni Bumo Eolguli Bogo Sipda; lit. I Miss Your Parents' Faces) is a 2022 South Korean mystery drama film directed by Kim Ji-hoon and written by Gim Gyung-mi. Based on a Japanese theatrical play Oya no Kao ga Mitai by Seigo Hatasawa,[2] the film stars Sol Kyung-gu, Chun Woo-hee, Moon So-ri, Oh Dal-su and Ko Chang-seok. The film about school violence revolves around an eighth grade student, who kills himself but not before writing the names of the students who victimized him. And when their parents are called to the school, a battle goes on regarding the will.[3] It was released theatrically on April 27, 2022.[4]

Synopsis

The film exposes the ugliness of human nature and the real-life issue of bullying. The turning point comes when the lawyer's son is framed by three fathers, leading the lawyer to regret his past perjuries. However, despite this realization, the lawyer fails to take responsibility and continues to avoid his son's problems, ultimately denying himself the chance for redemption.

Cast

Production

Principal photography began on May 29, 2017, and ended on August 27, 2017, at Tangeum Lake in Chungju, North Chungcheong Province, South Korea.[16] The film was completed in 2018 but the release was postponed indefinitely due to the #MeToo controversy at the time.[17]

Reception

Box office

The film was released on 1007 screens on April 27, 2022.[18][19] It was placed at no. 2 at the domestic box office on opening day,[20] and the first weekend of its release.[21]

As of July 21, 2022, it has a gross of US$3,091,257 along with 403,569 admissions.[1]

Critical response

Oh Jin-Woo writing for Cine21 stated that the film looked at school violence from the perpetrator's point of view. Oh criticised the editing and felt that in spite of energetic performance of actors "due to the somewhat loose editing" "fun of the original story is halved." Oh concluded by writing, "Here, all the sets feel too new, so they don't fit the heavy movie theme, which interferes with immersion."[22]

Home media

The film was released on streaming service Disney+ in South Korea on June 1, 2022.[23]
