The year 2. 01. 0 opened with some positive signs for Korean cinema, but there were still few people smiling at the overall state of the Korean film industry. Commercially at least, producers could point to a number of recent successes to justify the claim that local audiences were still interested in Korean films. The spy drama Secret Reunion, for example, pulled in well over 5 million admissions after its Lunar New Year release. And although well told commercial stories have always done fairly well at the box office, even the melodrama Harmony, notable only for its utter lack of restraint in manipulating its audience, managed to pass the 3 million missions mark. Thrillers and war movies will be the dominant genre, with comparatively fewer comedies, horror films and romantic dramas. Partly as a result, male stars are in strong demand while there are very few roles available for actresses. Some of the bigger projects in the pipeline include a grisly new thriller from Kim Jee- woon titled I Saw the Devil, Na Hong- jin's follow- up to his acclaimed debut The Chaser, a new period drama from King and the Clown director Lee Joon- ik, a big budget comic book adaptation from director Kang Woo- suk, and a remake of the 1. The Housemaid by Im Sang- soo and starring the great actress Jeon Do- yeon. Smaller scale works that will likely receive wide festival exposure include Lee Chang- dong's Poetry, the 1. Im Kwon- taek, and a remake of the 1. Late Autumn to be shot in the US by Kim Tae- yong and starring Chinese actress Tang Wei. There is as much directorial talent available as ever, however the government under President Lee Myung- bak has adopted an increasingly hostile stance towards independent filmmaking. With funding evaporating and important distribution channels being shut down, independent cinema will largely have to get by on its own for the near future. Motivation is in no short supply, but with the scaling back of more practical assistance, this year will probably not produce the riches of 2. Reviewed below: The Fair Love(Jan 1.

He runs a small camera repair shop, and his mastery of this intricate skill draws customers from across the city. He also has a talent for photography, though for him it's more of a hobby than a vocation. He's still single, in fact he has never even dated a woman before. If the world were more fair he would be materially secure, but years earlier one of his best friends took his life savings and ran off. Since then, his life has never been the same. The man's daughter Nam- eun (Lee Ha- na), now in her 2. Would you please stop in every once in a while and check on her, the friend asks. Hyung- man feels rightly that he owes his friend nothing. But the daughter has done him no wrong, and eventually he knocks on her door. In some ways you could call this film a love story, in other ways a comedy, but most of all it's simply a portrait of two lonely people and how they choose to deal with the emptiness in their lives. Thanks to two great acting performances and the director's compassionate viewpoint, the story leaves a lasting impression. There is something about the camera repair shop - - its myriad tools and objects, and the interactions between the people who work or hang out there - - that is quietly fascinating. There's something that draws you in to Nam- eun's home as well, as empty and ordinary as it is. Most of all, it is the scenes when Hyung- man and Nam- eun are getting to know each other that stick in the mind. There is a subtle energy and tension between these two characters that many melodramas try, and fail, to create. Lee Ha- na's performance, and some well- written dialogue, deserve much of the credit. What at first strikes us as an unconventional or bizarre coupling eventually comes across as ordinary, as we get to know the two of them better and adopt their perspective. Hyung- man starts to feel and even act like a teenager in love (exhilarating for him, awkward for the viewer). But ultimately they are a couple like any other. The Fair Love retains a realist perspective as it moves towards its conclusion, but the film itself, which felt so fresh in the opening reels, ends on a more conventional note. Is their relationship fair? Are they being fair to each other, and is it ? It's to the film's credit that it never fully answers these questions. Ji- won (Gang Dong- won) is a North Korean spy living incognito in Seoul. Although with his stylish appearance he looks just like any other young member of capitalist society, he misses his wife and yearns to return to the North. For his last mission he is called upon by an older spy to take part in an assassination attempt on a former colleague who has switched sides. At the same time, a South Korean intelligence agent named Han- gyu (Song Kang- ho) catches wind of the plot and sets off on a reckless chase to apprehend the would- be assassins. The pace is brisk and there are many things happening at once, but it is so smoothly directed that each twist in the narrative remains clear. The main characters are given depth by a screenplay that highlights their vulnerabilities and presents them with hard moral choices. It is at turns exciting, funny, suspenseful and sad. Later the action will skip ahead six years, when the two lead characters meet up again under very different circumstances. In this longer segment it's pretty easy to guess where the story is headed, but the film's confident execution and memorable details make it easy to ignore this and just enjoy the ride. Secret Reunion is a very successful second outing for the young director Jang Hun, who began his career as an assistant to Kim Ki- duk and then made his debut in 2. Rough Cut. That film, although smaller in scale, is perhaps more innovative and thought- provoking. Secret Reunion was intended to be a more commercial endeavor from the start, but the fact that it was such a hit with audiences (over 5 million tickets sold) should be enough to push Jang's career into the fast lane. Surely we will be hearing more from him in the near future. He portrays Han- gyu as someone pulled in several different directions at once. Although he's not above cheating a bit to get ahead, his conscience continues to follow him around, even if he doesn't acknowledge it outwardly. It's not a major departure from his previous roles, but Song's ability to express himself with his body and his masterly control of his voice keeps the performance fresh. His pairing with Gang Dong- won also seems to have helped the latter turn in an especially engaging and charismatic performance. However in some ways the actor who most stole the limelight was Goh Chang- seok (Director Bong in Rough Cut) who plays a Vietnamese gang boss. Although surely it will be obvious to native speakers of Vietnamese that this is a Korean actor, many local viewers were fooled, at the same time as Goh's delivery and comic timing produced storms of laughter. Like the earlier works, Secret Reunion includes humanistic portrayals of North Korean characters and focuses on individuals caught in the middle of powerful, impersonal political forces. But this film is on a refreshingly smaller scale, restricting itself to just two protagonists and devoting more time to characterization. The ending may not contain any strong insight into Korea's unique political situation, but the film's characters will endure. No matter how reckless and rushed the marriage might have been, it is beyond unlikely that she would not know her husband- to- be has a twin brother. Even if he had tried to hide this fact from her, there would be so many ways in which critical information like this would have naturally leaked to her. And yet, the filmmakers insist that they put in this boneheaded . So that Yun Jin- seo (Oldboy), playing the wife, could prettily swoon on camera? Now, this in itself is not a problem. It is obvious that director Ryoo Hoon (or screenwriter Kwon Ji- yeon, see below) consciously chose this melodramatic approach in order to tackle a rather abstract thesis about love, which can be summarized into a question, . While the older twin, her husband, lies in a hospital, comatose due to an accident, his younger brother, who missed out the wedding ceremony due to a different accident, returns from Canada. To add insult to injury, both brothers are hiding other secrets from her, making her life even more complicated. Secret Love could have been a fun film, but clever ideas can get you only so far.
