Miss Baek is a South Korean drama film released in 2018, directed by Lee Ji-Won. The movie follows the story of a woman named Baek Sang-Ah, who was convicted of a crime and now leads a lonely life. She works as a delivery driver and spends most of her time in isolation, trying to forget about her past.
One day, Baek meets an abused child named Ji-eun, who reminds her of her own painful childhood. Ji-eun's mother is a drug addict who frequently physically abuses her daughter in a fit of rage. Baek takes it upon herself to protect the child and tries to help her escape from her cruel mother.
Baek starts to take care of Ji-eun, providing her with food, shelter, and love, but their situation becomes more complicated when the authorities become involved. Baek's past conviction becomes an obstacle in her efforts to protect the child, and she is faced with the dilemma of whether to prioritize her freedom or Ji-eun's safety.
Meanwhile, a man named Je-Hyeok develops feelings for Baek and tries to protect her in his own way by providing support and encouragement. However, Baek's mistrust of others, and her fear of being exposed once again, make it difficult for her to accept his help.
Miss Baek is a heart-warming story of an unlikely friendship, the power of forgiveness, and the importance of protecting vulnerable children. The film received critical acclaim for its sensitive treatment of the subject matter, and the nuanced performance of the lead actress Han Ji-min, who played the titular role of Baek.
