Human Disqualification (Lost)
Boo Jeong's conversation with her Dad at the bus stop...she just articulated all that I am feeling now. About feeling like a failure, wanting to quit my job, wanting to take up a more menial one yet fearing becoming poor and dependant.
I wondered who was the writer who captured my inner depressive's thoughts so well and found out it was, Kim Ji Hye. But what struck me more, like a hammer on the head, was who the director was. Hur Jin-Ho.
Not surprised at all now, his female lead in Happiness also seemed to feel what I felt then.
And about Hur Jin-ho's work this description by film critic Kim Ji-mi in Korean Film Observatory magazine (No. 23) is so very true
Hur "shows the outstanding talent of being able to grasp the sensitive moments of the beginning and ending of a love between a man and a woman" (p. 22).
