The Woman in the Purple Skirt is a story about its titular character from the eyes of the Woman in the Yellow Cardigan. As she attempts to understand and figure out the woman in the purple skirt's routine, she would later lure that woman to work at a hotel, and the woman started to have an affair with a director to the point that everybody had their eyes on her. Frankly speaking, I didn't find anything remotely interesting about The Woman in the Purple Skirt other than the fact that she's incredibly loud and does the same thing often. It just felt like The Woman in the Yellow Cardigan had a deep fascination or obsession with her, and it feels weird to always see her observe the woman in a strange manner.
