You’ve seen it before: gangsters trying to force people to move from their homes in order to clear out the area to make way for corporate construction. It was one of the major plot points of Holiday in 2006, and one of Korean society’s less charming realities. Pil Je (Lim Chang Jung, Sex is Zero) is exactly one of these thugs, raising a fuss with the entire neighborhood and trying all he can to drive the residents away so his boss and his people can build that new and shiny complex. Most people tend to be scared of Pil Je, but Myeong Ran (Ha Ji Won, Hwang Jin Yi) is not too impressed. An aspiring boxer, Myeong Ran isn’t scared by Pil Je one bit; on the contrary, she’s starting to look as menacing as some of the people Pil Je has to deal with in his line of business. But as he gets to know her and the locals more, Pil Je senses himself changing, changing enough for a miracle to happen?

Miracle on 1st Street brings back the trio who made 2002 sex comedy Sex is Zero, one of the top 20 grossing Korean films of all time. Director Yoon Je Gyun comes back to directing after years as a producer. After founding Dusabu Films and focusing on his production company, Yoon decided it was time to try his luck once again, with his two friends from the past, Ha Ji Won and Lim Chang Jung, the stars of Sex is Zero. After quitting his music career in great fashion, Lim has become one of the few surefire box office draws in Korea, proving himself to be quite a fine comic actor as well. And Ha Ji Won continues with her endless transformations. After learning traditional dance and Geomungo for the historical drama Hwang Jin Yi, this time she went through boxing training for a couple of months to make her performance more realistic.

Korean cinema sweetheart Moon Geun Young has undeniably come into her own as an actress. Having proven her acting skills and box office draw with films like Tale of Two Sisters, My Little Bride, and Innocent Steps, the young actress is ready to take on a more mature role. Departing from the endearing characters of her previous films, Moon takes on the challenge of playing a blind, emotionally distant young woman opposite the ruggedly handsome Kim Joo Hyuk (Lovers in Prague) in Love Me Not. A remake of popular Japanese television drama Ai Nante Irane Yo, Natsu, Love Me Not is the debut feature from Lee Cheol Ha, who previously served as assistant director for Il Mare. Though dark in tone, the beautifully shot Love Me Not is as moving as it is chilling, presenting a pure love between two lonely souls.

Suave womanizer Julian (Kim Joo Hyuk) has lived a fairly comfortable life by swindling rich woman, but a costly miscalculation leaves him in serious debt to the tone of three billion won. He has one month to pay off his debt, or meet a bloody end in the hands of notorious debtor Gwang Soo (Lee Ki Young, Marathon). Julian comes up with a malicious plan to pose as the long-lost brother of blind heiress Ryu Min (Moon Geun Young), and then murder her to inherit the fortune. Julian meets his match with the cold and distrusting Min, but over time their hearts begin to open to each other. The only problem: Gwang Soo is still waiting.

Yeui-eomneun geotdeul (South Korea)

Startling shifts between post-modern comedy and brutal violence mark tyro writer-helmer Park Chulhee’s “No Mercy for the Rude” as an ultra-hip variation on the ever-popular Korean hit man subgenre. Crackerjack pace, absurdist set pieces and an intriguing lead perf by Shin Hakyun as a mute killer-for-hire have helped boost pic to solid local returns since its Aug. 24 opening, and rousing response at the Vancouver festival points to promising offshore returns at fests and upscale markets on both sides of the Pacific. If ever there were a Korean import aimed at Stateside auds and ready for the Tarantino seal-of-approval, this is it.

An early sign of the film’s strategy of unsettling the viewer is how anti-hero Killa (Shin, looking super-cool) narrates his story, even though he has long refused to talk until he gets an operation to fix a severe speech impediment. To pay for the operation, Killa has opted to work as an assassin, but the knife-wielding killer will only do in obnoxious, nasty targets.

AKA: No Mercy for the Rude (International: English title)
Runtime: South Korea:113 min
Country: South Korea
Language: Korean
Subtitles: English

Sung Hyun Ah (The Scarlet Letter, Cello) her lover has never taken a dangerous risk in her life. She has been for seven years and is going to get married next month. One day she meets a handsome stranger, who asked her to spend one day with him. It might be a mistake to accept his proposal, but over the next day she will experience a level of excitement and intimacy, she has never experienced before, and this could change her life all of sudden.

The nature of liking someone vs. being truly committed in love with another person is explored in this film.

“Aein” in a way reminded me of “Great Expectations” with Ethan Hawke and Gwyneth Paltrow, where Paltrow’s character kept playing mind games with Hawke’s character’s emotions, making him think “Does she love me…does she not…why does she keep going back and forth and in-and-out of my life, playing mind games, toying with my emotions, and keep torchering my soul?”

The woman in this film does the same thing to the man who is infatuated with her. The man genuinely wants to love the woman, but every time he attempts to get emotionally closer to her and get more comfortable with her, she puts up a wall, and keeps withdrawing from him. Plus, she keeps playing mind games with him. As for the moments of romantic interlude, the sex scenes are great, and have the right level of erotic charge to keep its viewers interested, as the viewers keep wondering what will ultimately happen between these 2 people.

This is not your typical love story, and for those of you who have had your hearts broken, stepped on, and trampled upon, this film will resonate with you and generate a feeling of empathy.

But, the bottomline is that this film definitely answers that eternal question of whether or not Korean women (in general) tend to marry men for money/security over that of true love.
