The Picture Bride

Could you marry a man you’ve never met? Three Korean women in 1918 make a life-changing journey to Hawaii where they will marry having seen only photographs of their intended husbands.Different fates await each of these women. Hong-ju who dreams of a marriage of ‘natural love’ meets a man who looks twenty years older than his photograph; Song-hwa who wants to escape from her life of ridicule as the granddaughter of a shaman meets a lazy drunkard. And then there’s Willow whose 26-year-old groom Taewan looks just like his image …Real life doesn’t always resemble a picture but there’s no going back. And while things don’t turn out quite as they’d hoped even for Willow they do find something that makes their journey worthwhile ― each other.
