Gong Hyo Jin And Shin Min Ah Are Sisters With Familial Wounds In Contrasting Posters For Re-Release Of "Sisters On The Road"

Sep 02, 2022

Ahead of its re-release, Gong Hyo Jin and Shin Min Ah’s film has unveiled new character posters!

“Sisters on the Road” is a 2008 film about two sisters Myung Joo and Myung Eun, who have different appearances, personalities, careers, and even fathers. The film follows their road journey as they embark on a search for Myung Eun’s father.

The newly released character posters capture the contrasting charms, personalities, and environments of the sisters. Gong Hyo Jin plays older sister Myung Joo, who runs a fish store on Jeju Island and is a single mom to a daughter. The poster captures Myung Joo looking solemn while sitting on some rocks by the ocean.

The caption reads her comment to Myung Eun, “Do you not know forgiveness or reconciliation?” which appears to reflect the resentment she holds against her family. Unlike Myung Eun who wants to get revenge against her father, Myung Joo plainly accepts all hardships that come her way and resolves issues on her own.

Shin Min Ah plays younger sister Myung Eun, whose character poster is immediately more colorful and eye-catching than Myung Joo’s. Myung Eun grew up in Jeju alongside Myung Joo and developed a deep resentment against her father for being so absent. Once she becomes an adult, Myung Eun leaves her family in Jeju to move to Seoul and does not even return home for the holidays. When their mother suddenly passes away, she meets Myung Joo for the first time in awhile and finds her hard to trust, seeing how differently and carefree she lives.

Myung Eun’s inability to understand her older sister and the rest of her family is emphasized in her character poster, which reads, “Does my heart being hurt not count as being hurt?”
