Eun-joo reading "The pleasures of life"


In the one scene Eun-joo is reading this book. Someone know what this book is about and if it means something for the plot. Or did the film director just choosed it randomly?

You mean the one by John Lubbock? If so I think its supposed to create juxtaposition between the misery and depression Su-mi has to suffer through and the happiness and light Eun-joo sees...well at least according to Su-mi's point of view who thinks that she is profitting off from her loss and trauma.
