'Men' Disappoints with a Flat Examination of Misogyny
Despite its simple premise, “imagine being a woman,” the horror behind "Men" feels fueled by a hollow understanding of the insidiousness of misogyny.

Baram, Seung-hyun, Sang-jin and Sun-woo are all members of the same club. Baram, a girl with tomboyish looks and a husky voice, is a waitress by day and rocker by night. Seung-hyun is a rich boy whose attraction to Baram leads him to begin a part-time job at the bar she works in. Sang-jin, who also has feelings for Baram, must work seven days a week in order to support his sole family member, Sang-hee. Sang-jin's dream is to escape from poverty and drive a sports car by the seaside with a college girlfriend in the passenger seat. He finds solace meeting Baram at the top of the building where they both work. Sun-woo is a top -flight graduate of a first-class university. He believes the best thing in life is power. Failure is not an issue in his life until he fails the national exam. In turn, he indulges himself in a sexual relationship with under-aged runaway Sang-hee, the younger sister of Sang-jin.
