Thirty year-old teacher In-young falls in love with her own student, Suk. She was attracted to the boy since he resembled her first love in every way, and even shared the same name. But with the sudden return of her long-lost love, and the appearance of a cute high school girl who confesses her love towards the boy Suk, In-young finds herself lost among the two first loves.

Blossom Again is an ambitious attempt to examine the fantasy of love. It is a love story between two women with the same name and a high school student. The fake retrospective structure doesn’t illustrate a woman’s psychology through causal explanation but explains concurrent coexistence of multiple relations overlapped by coincidences. The film challenges our conventional aspiration for being united with someone we love and raises questions. Director Jung uses repetition, overlap and symmetry to explore diverse patterns of love.
