Punch Drunk Love Vol. 4

A MAN POSSESSED

Communication is not Park Seon-woo’s strong suit. It’s made him enemies at work—who now want to send him packing—but worse than that, it’s made Mr. Jeong think Seon-woo’s parents abused him. Hoping to clear up the matter, Seon-woo brings Mr. Jeong home to meet his parents, but that only creates new misunderstandings! Fortunately, it seems to bring the two even closer together, to Seon-woo’s delight and Tae-moon’s bewilderment. And as Seon-woo starts to follow Mr. Jeong’s advice about improving his appearance, he notices a big change in how his coworkers treat him…a change that makes Tae-moon seethe with jealousy!
