Kim Jiyoung lebt am Rande der Metropole Seoul. Die Mittdreißigerin hat erst kürzlich ihren Job aufgegeben, um sich um ihr Baby zu kümmern. Doch schon bald zeigt sie seltsame Symptome: Jiyoungs Persönlichkeit scheint sich aufzuspalten, denn sie schlüpft in die Rollen ihr bekannter Frauen. Ihr unglücklicher Ehemann schickt sie zu einem Psychiater. Nüchtern erzählt eben dieser Psychiater Jiyoungs Leben nach, ein Leben bestimmt von Frustration und Unterwerfung, denn ihr Verhalten wird stets von den männlichen Figuren um sie herum überwacht. »Kim Jiyoung, geboren 1982« zeigt das schmerzhaft gewöhnliche Leben einer Frau in Korea und gleichzeitig deckt es eine Alltagsmisogynie auf, die jeder Frau – egal, wo auf der Welt – nur allzu bekannt vorkommt.
