It is a self-referential metadrama adorned with sly wit and awkward droll. Hong Sang-soo put a frustratingly unstructured but exhilarating narrative spin on the love triangle. “Oasis” is a story of what constitutes love and desire between two physically disabled people in society. Lee Chang-dong does not manufacture sympathy for them neither does he judge them. Abandoned by their families, they are ignored and abused for self-gain. Gong-ju Han’s brother and sister-in-law shifted her to a new apartment meant for a disabled person, locking her in a shabby small room. His life turns interesting when he meets disabled Gong-ju Han (So-ri Moon) on his visit to the family of the man he killed in an accident. Even after the cold reception and explicitly telling him how life was good in his absence, he doesn’t budge and sticks with the family, as if he doesn’t understand that his family does not want him. You feel for him, but you would probably run away if you saw him in person. His gleaming eyes and the perpetual smile on his face could be deceiving.
His mother is indifferent to his presence.
They do not even care if he is dead or alive. His immediate family has moved to a new place without providing the forwarding address. “Oasis” opens with Hong Jong-du (Sol Kyung-gu) released from prison after serving three years for a hit-and-run case.

The letters mention a series of oddball adventures and comical episodes with new acquaintances. The letters are written by Mori, a Japanese man who tells the everyday story of his stay in a small village, which includes his relationship with Young-sun, a café waitress whose dog he saved. The film follows Kwon, a woman who reads a bundle of letters out of sequence, providing a perfect excuse to present the narrative in a non-linear manner, putting us in Kwon’s shoes.
