Information
| The controversial can of worms “Jenny, Juno” has finally popped its lid: the second film by director Kim Ho-joon of the famed “My Little Bride,” “Jenny, Juno” was revealed for the first time at a press screening on February 1.The movie, which depicts a 15-year-old middle school student’s pregnancy and delivery, initially received a rating of “18 years or over” by the Korean Media Rating Board, but the rating was lowered to “15 years or over” after an appeal for reconsideration, triggering a fierce debate on the ethics and freedom of movie-making. Over 970,000 people have already visited the film’s official website ( http://www.jj2005.com ) as of February 10, which opened to viewers less than a month ago on January 17. The website bulletin board is teeming with postings that support or denounce the film’s controversial subject matter.To begin with the conclusion, “Jenny, Juno” belies the uproar surrounding it by being calm to the point of blandness. Confronting the risky issues of teenage pregnancy and childbirth in as “pretty” (a word used by the production company) a manner as possible, the movie does not contain a single scene that implies sexual intercourse between the two titular characters, let alone an actual depiction of it. Instead, it shows the two (fully-clothed) adolescents staring blankly up at the ceiling.
Such cautiousness is certainly not because the film aims at “communicating to teenagers the dangers of pregnancy,” as the production company argues. Rather, it’s because the filmmakers judged that “Jenny, Juno,” targeted explicitly at middle and high school students, could achieve its desired effect without relying on provocative scenes. What the movie taps into is the fantasy of parenthood harbored by teenagers. “Jenny, Juno” rigorously aligns itself with the emotions and eyelevel of middle and high school students, telling the story as they would dream it. Juno happily applies himself to part-time work, saying he’s saving money for the baby’s milk. Jenny indulges in “prenatal care,” putting the telephone receiver to her stomach as Juno sings a lullaby on the other end. When Jenny and Juno boldly face off with their flabbergasted parents, stating, “If you’re going to do as you like, then we’re going to do as we like, too; we’re not going to give up studying or having this baby,” the film abruptly superimposes the image of “Romeo and Juliet.” And by establishing that Jenny is a class representative who ranks fifth in her year and Juno is a successful “gamer,” it implies that teenage pregnancy is not an issue restricted to “delinquent” youths. Jenny and Juno enjoy cutesy dates while “The Tadpole Song” plays in the background, and carry out “pretty” labor, like two kids playing “house.” The production company dubs this a “moving project to protect babies.” But who’s going to take the responsibility of protecting the clueless Jenny and Juno?

The Fox Family: Gumiho gajok (Korean Comedy Movie)
The nine-tailed fox is a mythical shape-shifting creature which can become a human being in its 1000th year if it eats the liver of a human being. A family of such foxes open up a circus and transform themselves in the hope of capturing human beings. One day, there occurs a strange case of torso murder which becomes the biggest issue of their day, and the fox family is caught up in the middle of it. Will the family be able to make their thousand-year dream come true?
If you like the 1979 American cult film “Rocky Horror Picture Show,’’ you would love its Korean version. The film aims to present unique tastes combining different genres including musical, horror and cult.
Directed by Lee Hyung-gon, the movie takes the motif from the ghastly Korean tale of “kumiho,” a fox with nine tails that desperately yearns to become human but can only do so by gobbling up the livers of 100 unfortunate souls.
But different from the scary original, the film revolves around a wacky kumiho family, who struggle to become a human while they run a circus with their tricks and magical powers.

My Wife Is A Gangster 1 & 2 (Korean Comedy Movie)
My Wife Is A Gangster 1 & 2 English Hard-Subbed
My Wife Is A Gangster
How much do you really know about your spouse? That’s the provocative question explored to much comic effect in My Wife Is A Gangster, the box office smash of 2001! Shin Eun Kyung (from Wedding Campaign and Diary Of June) stars as Cha Eun Jin, an orphan who’s worked her way up the criminal ladder to become the leader of her own gang. Nicknamed “Mantis,” she utilizes a nasty pair of scissors whenever she feels like doling out a little punishment on her enemies. Her criminal life gets turned upside down, however, when she’s forced to honor her sister’s dying wish – to get married and start a family! With no experience in these matters, she rounds up her lieutenants (Shim Won Chul and An Jae Mo) to find her a suitable mate. Out of this frantic search comes Soo Il (Park Sang Myun, from She’s On Duty and Hi, Dharma), a well-mannered, somewhat naive civil servant – in other words, the perfect groom.
Although the wedding itself wasn’t exactly a walk in the park, Soo Il is in store for even more surprises once the “honeymoon” begins! His eagerness for romance quickly diminishes as his new bride snubs his overtures for sex, offends his colleagues, and overall makes his life a living hell! As the unhappy couple starts to come apart at the seams, a rival gang catches wind of Eun Jin’s current marital situation, a discovery that results in the death of one of her men and – after a brutal gangfight – her own hospitalization! But what happens when Soo Il learns of his wife’s true profession? Will he turn tail and run? Or will he find the courage to avenge his wife? Full of madcap situations and sharply choreographed wire-fu, My Wife Is A Gangster is one action comedy sure to entertain!

My Wife is a Gangster 2 – The Legend Returns
Director Jeong Heung Soon takes up the directorial reins for My Wife Is A Gangster 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2001 box office hit! During a bloody rooftop gang brawl, crime boss Cha Eun Jin (Shin Eun Kyung reprising her role from the original) gets knocked for a loop and ends up losing her memory in the process. Eventually, she stumbles into a job as a delivery person for a Chinese restaurant owned by Yoon Jae Choi (Park Joon Gyu). Several months later, Eun Jin has successfully adapted to her new life at the Chinese restaurant and forged new friendships, completely oblivious to her prior history. Although Eun Jin initially annoys Jae Choi’s troubled teenage daughter and starts getting harassed by an obnoxious neighbor, she also goes on to become the object of much attention, particularly from the men in the community.
Even so, the women have nothing but respect for Eun Jin whose martial arts skills and tough-as-nails persona prove helpful when taking down overgrown bullies, whether they be bank robbers, local gang members, or even sexist pigs! But once Eun Jin’s old gang finally puts two and two together and seeks her out, it’s a forgone conclusion that Eun Jin will recover her memory, retake her leadership position, and defend her community – but will she succeed? Ultimately, My Wife Is A Gangster 2 is the rare sequel that matches the fun of the original while adding a new dimension all its own. And be sure not to miss the Zhang Ziyi cameo!
