Min Ji-suk runs a "ticket bar"where customers can purchase tickets for certain "services"in the town of Sokcho in Gangwon-do. She hires Miss Yang (Ahn So-young), Miss Hong (Lee Hye-young), and Se-young (Jeon Se-young) through the employment agency. Miss Yang and Miss Hong, who are well experienced in this type of business, are used to accepting propositions from customers. But Se-young, who is dating a college student named Min-su, rejects all requests for sexual favors. When Min-su professes to having problems with his tuition and finances, Se-young reassures him that she will procure the necessary funds for him. When the bar's clientele begins to dwindle because of Se-young, Ji-suk reprimands her severely. Se-young develops a close relationship with a Captain Pak and even allows him to sleep with her. She asks Captain Pak to find Min-su employment on a boat, but when Min-su comes to Sokcho for his new job, he sees how Se-young has been making her living. Shocked, he turns his back on the job and leaves. When he eventually returns to Sokcho, he scathingly denounces Se-young's morality and severs their relationship. Decades ago, Ji-suk had stumbled into the bar business in a desperate effort to support her husband, who was serving time in prison; she later left him voluntarily out of shame and moral degradation. Concerned that Se-young will end up with the same fate, Ji-suk asks Min-su to meet with her. She begs him not to abandon Se-young, but he flatly refuses. Ji-suk reacts by pushing Min-su into the sea, and suffers a mental breakdown that lands her in a psychiatric institution
四星。8.2/10。可以说是沟口健二《赤线地带》韩国稍低配版，同样是底层女招待的群像，但是更突出女主一些。这部1986年表现韩国咖啡店“女招待”众生相的现实主义佳作大概是1997年林权泽《娼》的前声，聚焦社会底层招待女：n1、出身贫苦、恋爱脑、被父亲哥哥男友一同压榨的女主，做女招待赚钱为生并给那些臭男人。在此处，我认为此类女性的恋爱脑并非一些人认为的愚蠢，反而是家庭关爱和社会关爱的缺位导致的认知缺位，进而不停地伤害自己成全别人，是可怜的人。n2、外表坚强，内心善良，却被消逝之爱困住的老鸨，像极了很多坚忍不拔顽强生存的人，内心深处也有伤心柔软之处。最后看到女主的男友离女主而去，怒而推之入海，既想要拯救女主的爱情，也是想挽回逝去的人生。赚的盆满钵满的她在下属眼里是成功人士，可却充满着遗憾和痛苦，最终入狱。n3、渴望成为女明星却被老导演欺骗/性格奔放爱激情的女配①、被男吃白食的女配②（后打了恶臭男但却被要求罚钱）等等……nn值得注意的还有片中男性的身份：大学生、诗人（后抛妻入赘）、丑陋的老导演、没钱的白嫖男、无能的女主父亲、懦弱的女主哥哥（靠女主给他赚结婚钱）nn另：影片配乐也很好听nn总而言之，影片放在韩影崛起之前的时代是非常出色的，林权泽为首的这一代韩影人依靠卓越的导演实力和现实主义人文关怀为之后韩影的崛起奠定了极为坚实的基础，不愧为韩国电影教父之称。
追求激情自由奔放，渴望逃离现生的女配1nn全片两段飙车要求“加速”，第一次为第二次飙车受伤埋下伏笔也首次凸显人物性格。
右侧女性喝多刚吐完，初入行的左侧女主表示安慰关心。镜头逼仄，压缩人物，使二人更亲密，表现底层女性的互相关怀。
⬆️此时刚入行的女主衣服还是白色，裤子灰色，表示单纯纯洁。后期麻木老练后衣裤变成高饱和度的蓝绿色、绿色、红色。
⬆️女配1被老导演骗上×之后，镜头给到了这束女配1带给导演的花，特写镜头给到丢在地上的鲜花，暗示被欺骗。
⬆️女主和中年船长做首次交易，逼仄的镜头凸显紧张感和人物无助缩小感，也是男客人对女主的压迫，同时框景也代表其已坠入深渊
⬆️女老鸨遇到负心的前夫，乱七八糟的树枝暗示二人关系的隔阂破裂。
⬆️左侧女主父亲和女主哥哥，同时榨取着女主靠做女招待得到的钱。亲人如此，这何尝不是一种“交易”
⬆️一起打拼的女下属看望曾经的姐妹老鸨，老鸨却喊了声“老公”，随后从衣胸中掏出两个乒乓球状物体，影片定格此处。
片尾出字幕
