Daytime Drinking (2009)

In the aftermath of a heart-wrenching breakup, Hyuk-Jin seeks solace in the comforting presence of friends and the numbing embrace of alcohol. As the night deepens, the group, in their alcohol-fuelled camaraderie, decide to journey to the quaint town of Jeongseon in Gangwon Province, a seemingly perfect refuge for Hyuk-Jin's bruised heart. When dawn breaks, however, Hyuk-Jin finds himself embarking on this journey alone, his companions held captive by crippling hangovers. Following a friend's suggestion, Hyuk-Jin sets out to find a lodge run by an old college friend. However, fate has a cruel sense of humor, and he stumbles into a different locale entirely, unknowingly embarking on an odyssey of unexpected encounters and strange circumstances. He crosses paths with a peculiar couple and is lured into their world of intoxication and temptation, leading to a disconcerting morning of waking up in the middle of a snowy highway, stripped of his belongings, his dignity, and even his pants. Desperate, he hitchhikes his way into the company of a benevolent yet eccentric driver, who offers him more than just a ride. With every sip of alcohol, Hyuk-Jin spirals deeper into a world full of misunderstandings and cross paths, an odyssey that seems to echo his worst hangover. Daytime Drinking is an intoxicating ride that blurs the line between reality and drunken haze, where Hyuk-Jin must navigate through a series of unfortunate misadventures in a bid to escape his melancholic stupor. It's an unexpected journey of self-discovery, where a broken heart might just be the least of his problems.
