Tragic end

Seo was a kind middle-aged man. He had a competent wife and a cute daughter. Due to enough financial support from his wife, he was not so anxious to seek a job. On the contrary he led a lazy life by reading novels. Of cause he had to spend some time on looking after his young daughter. One day he accidentally found that one of keys that belonged to his wife was strange. He began to doubt the loyalty of his wife. A family crisis occurred.

The unexpected ending was powerful and shocking. Extra-martial affair is bad in my eyes. It not only breaks a family but also brings agony to other people. If you did it and caused bad outcome, you had nobody to blame but yourself.

Min-sik Choi convincingly played a desperate husband. I think that he is one of the best Korean actors. He also left me deep impression in Oldboy, Springtime.

An excellent Korean drama. 8/10

Do-yeon Jeon is one of the world's best actors

Actress Do-yeon Jeon captivated me when she played a sad scene in 'Secret Sunshine'. Her acting in that moment was so good I felt grief. For it, she became the first Korean actor to win the Cannes Award and, many years later, the first Korean actor to be a judge at Cannes.

Jumping back to her early career was juxtaposition because 'Happy End' begins with a 3-minute sex scene. My heart-breaking memory of her was replaced by her perfectly naked body. Bye-bye intellectualism and praise the Koreans for being quicker to undress than the Japanese.

But the movie became much more than a hard-on. It's one of the few that are good from the region prior the millennium. It left me melancholic because I identified with all the characters in the love triangle.

Admiring the subtle yet powerful handling of the film, I wikipediaed that the director was Ji-woo Jung, he who made the tasteful and insightful lolita drama 'The Muse'.

Interestingly, last year he made the generic 'Tune in for Love'. It broke the Korean box office record for a romance, with 173,562 admissions on opening day. Although Public taste will never be en masse for art, I'm pleased because a worthy director will now have the cash to make more movies I like. I can hope that there will be another 'happy ending'.
