Korean Play “2 Nights 3 Days with Mom” in LA

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

You must have seen posters featuring this image all over Koreatown. It’s for the Korean play 친정엄마와 2박3일 (2 Nights 3 Days with Mom), which is among the most attended plays of all time in South Korea.

It’s the story of a daughter dying from cancer and spending her last days with her mother. A sad story but gosh, how happy they look in the poster. I found it even at YogoZone under the iced water of all places.
