Synopsis / Plot

Yoshihiro Nakamura’s new The Booth is the latest in a current flood of Japanese horror — inspired by the international success of Ringu and its American remake, “The Ring” — but this one is quite above average thanks to a brisk, “B”-movie pace (74 minutes) and a superb lead performance by Ryuta Sato.

Sato plays Shogo, a DJ on a late-night radio talk show, specializing in love problems. It’s the last day before the show moves to a new studio and they’re temporarily using a run-down booth.

A prologue shows us how the booth is haunted and already caused the death of one hapless DJ, and Shogo and his beleaguered crew begin to hear strange noises as well. -[Read More]

What’s up Fox?(Korean)2006

Wikipedia link: What’s up Fox

Plot:

There’s something about Ko Hyun Jung. One of the top actresses of the 90s, she is best remembered for her performance in the phenomenally popular Sandglass. Much to the dismay of fans, however, she left the industry after Sandglass. In 2005, ten years after Sandglass, Ko Hyun Jung returned to acting with SBS drama Spring Days, looking as beautiful as ever. This year, she continues to win over old and new fans alike, appearing in Hong Sang Soo’s latest film Woman on the Beach and the hilarious romantic comedy What’s Up, Fox? which pulled in high TV ratings despite airing in a very competitive slot.

In the tradition of series like My Lovely Sam-Soon and Snow White, new drama What’s Up, Fox? (a.k.a. Foxy Lady) presents a lighthearted, yet touching “older sister/younger brother” relationship, only in a more realistic context. Ko Hyun Jung and Chun Jeong Myung (Goodbye Solo and Fashion 70s) show great on-screen chemistry, and the fabulous supporting cast, including newcomer Kim Eun Joo, drama regular Kwon Hae Hyo, and veteran Yoon Jeo Yung, bring both comedy and gravity to the story. Chaotic, colorful, and laugh-out-loud funny, What’s Up, Fox? shows that love is possible at any age.

Single 33-year-old columnist Go Byung Hee (Ko Hyun Jung) works for a racy men’s magazine. As her alter ego “Miss Go”, she writes candidly about sexual liaisons; in real life, she is woefully inexperienced in matters of sex and love, and still awkwardly waiting for the perfect guy. Then one drunken night, she ends up sleeping with her best friend’s little brother, 24-year-old Park Chul Soo (Chun Jeong Myung). The two agree to pretend the night never happened, but seem to keep growing closer over time. Soon Byung Hee meets a handsome doctor, and just as things seem to be falling into fairy tale place, Chul Soo declares his love to her.

The Harmonium in My Memory(Korean)1998

 

Name of Torrent: The Harmonium in My Memory
A.K.A.: 내 마음의 풍금, Nae maeumui punggeum, and Organ of My Heart
Director: Lee Young-jae
Genre: Drama
Cast: Lee Byung-hun, Jeon, Do-yeon, Lee Mi-yeon
Running Time: 1hr58min
Language: Korean
Subtitles: English srt
IMDB link: The Harmonium in My Memory
User Rating: 7.7/10

 Plot Synopsis from KoreanFilm.org:

The setting for this film is 1962, when a young teacher from Seoul takes his first job at a village school in Kangwon Province. When he arrives, his students present him with a number of challenges: many of them are poor, and cannot write properly; classtime is interrupted by fighting or visits from relatives. Nonetheless the students seem to enjoy his caring, idealistic approach, even if they don’t always do what he tells them to.

At this time one of his older students begins to fall in love with him. She makes use of her daily journal assignments to comment on his teaching and ask him probing, curious questions. When she notices a romance developing between him and another teacher, she does her best to discredit her rival by harping on her age and stealing her shoes in class.

Director Lee Young-jae takes a lighthearted approach to this film, as evidenced by his casual jokes and the stereotyped portrayals of the older teachers at the school. This humor helps to put the ideals of the teachers and the passions of first love into perspective, without detracting from the underlying seriousness behind them. Jeon Do-yeon (The Contact, A Promise) is wonderful here once again as the 17-year old schoolgirl who battles with her timidity to make passes at her teacher. The teacher is played by Lee Byung-heon, a popular TV, stage and film actor. Lee Mi-yeon (Whispering Corridors, No. 3) acts as Jeon’s rival, an idealistic young teacher who arrives from Seoul to teach at the same school.

As a teacher I’ve been subjected to a great many films that mythologize teaching and spin touching but ingenuine tales of success in the classroom. What I like best about this film is its lack of a triumphant breakthrough. Its honesty and light humor make us believe in the characters and care about what happens to them. By the time we reach the end of the film, it hits us with more power than we ever expected.
