How it feels

A married couple in South Korea have been together for ten years. After a fight, the wife kicks her husband out and he goes on a date with his mistress. The wife demands a divorce, but the husband tries to win her back with a family ski trip. The trip briefly rekindles their romance, but his refusal to leave the mistress spoils it.
