The story is mainly developed from the perspective of the air doll who gained hearts played by Bae Doona. There are many other characters interspersed in the middle, but they all seem to have little to do with the main story of the air doll, but in my opinion, every character in the story is a person who is looking for the meaning of his existence and his desire to be needed. .

After the air doll got the heart, she was curious about everything like a new life, but what she was most curious about was: what kind of existence she was. She wished she was human, so he covered the lines with makeup. But she didn't know what a human being was. She learned about human beings by the old man talking to her about people's poems. She learns from human behavior, but when faced with the mandatory sexual demands of men, she warns herself that she is just an inflatable doll to solve sexual desires. She has always tried to exist as a human being, but she knows very well in her heart that she was born to satisfy the desires of others. As she said herself: "I can do anything for you, that's why I was born." Regarding being needed, the reason for being an air doll is to serve others, but when she has a heart for herself, she With her own feelings, she hopes that she can exist independently. But when she discovers that she is a replacement for the former owner's ex-girlfriend, and buys a new inflatable doll immediately after her disappearance, she finds that her presence is insignificant. When she returned to the place where she was produced, she saw a bunch of abandoned inflatable dolls just like her. She realized that even if she had a heart and could feel her existence, it seemed that in the end, it was only optional and no longer needed. The presence.

Every other character has the same essence. After the male protagonist learned that the female protagonist is an inflatable doll, he proposed that he wanted to let out the anger of the female protagonist and then blow it back, saying that only the female protagonist could do it for him. Because only he knows that the heroine is an inflatable doll, and only he can save the heroine by letting go of the heroine's anger, so that he can satisfy his feeling of being absolutely needed; the heroine's host is as humble as an ant in the daytime life, and can only return The family kept fantasizing about getting along and taking care of the inflatable dolls, which made him feel his own existence and sense of being needed; the old man was always alone and alone, and no one could prove his existence and value. The same; the delirious grandmother greeted everyone she met enthusiastically, collected the reported cases, thought she was a participant in it, and hoped to get attention; the girl with bulimia kept eating even if she vomited, Just to feel my presence while avoiding the outside world...

Although it seems to be a magical story in the film, an air doll has a human consciousness. But he's also a story about humanity's search for the meaning and value of its existence. Of course, just like most people's feelings when faced with this problem, they realize the insignificance of their existence value, but they have an infinite desire to be needed by others. Like the doll discarded by the little girl for a plastic ring...
