Plot

Chang-geun (Kim In-mun) is a lawyer. While he is never at home, his wife Ho-jeong (Moon So-ri), who gave up her dancing career in order to be "A Good Lawyer's Wife", raises their young adopted son and works as a dance instructor in the local gym.

Chang-geun's father, who is an alcoholic with a fatal liver failure, has not slept with Chang-geun's mother in 15 years. When he dies from his illness, she announces that she has started dating an old friend from her grade school and even plans to marry him. Her daughter-in-law Ho-jeong supports her.

Ho-jeong herself cannot achieve an orgasm from Chang-geun. But unknown to her, he himself is not satisfied by her and has an affair with a young woman, who is an artist and a former model (Baek Jeong-rim). By having her pegging (sexual practice) him, he receives from the young woman the satisfaction he lacks at home.

When Ho-jeong catches her teenager neighbor (Bong Tae-gyu) peeping on her undressing in her apartment, she is, at first, angered. But she then decides to fulfill his peeping wish and allows him to see her doing nude gymnastics. He then follows her on his bike and even barges into her dance class. She eventually follows him to the cinema where they talk. As they watch a movie, she teases him by acting oblivious to him groping her breasts.

Meanwhile, Chang-geun, who gets a blowjob from his young mistress while driving, hit and runs a motor cyclist.

One evening, after she finally learns about her husband's affair, she tells her teenage neighbor to follow her without giving any details except suggestively saying "I hope you'll be okay". She takes him to the abandoned dance hall. Without exchanging a word, she just allows him to mount her, but he soon stops and rolls aside. Not giving up, she gives him a blowjob. She then mounts him herself while at the same time giving him a handjob, moving in spasms and moaning loudly as she finally gains her long sought orgasm.

The father of Ho-jeong's teenager neighbor soon finds out about their affair and exposes it to Chang-geun. But soon enough, the aforementioned car accident is avenged as Chang-geun's adopted son is kidnapped and thrown off a building to his death.
