This film is light and airy like a meringue; entertaining and intriguing - and that's it.
A young film-student is passing time at a desolated seaside resort somewhere in Korea. She is writing the same plot about a woman and her encounter with local lovers. These are three variations of the same plot, three variations in their own right, like Theme and Variations as knows in music.
I don't think that these is about the failures in the process of creative writing, as I see each of the episodes as valid variations, three possible developments.
I don't see why some reviewers call the plot extremely complicated. It's is very easy to follow the story line in each episode. Those who get easily confused might notice the color of Isabelle Huppert's dress. But even without that it should be easy to follow the plot and its many amusing variations and some overlapping also.
Forget all about meta-narrative and cross-cultural encounters, just lean back and enjoy this movie. I think I have recorded more films by this director.
9/10
