This time we saw Hwang Jin Yi, 황 진 이 (picture shown below) and May 18, 화려한 휴가.
Hwang Jin Yi, 황 진 이
It's based on a novel; however, the main character, Hwang Jin Yi actually existed.
She was the most well-known Giseng, high level entertainer / prostitute, in Chosun dynasty.
Her poems are still very well known. The movie itself was ok; however, costumes were very beautiful.
May 18, 화려한 휴가
This was also based on true story. This was about democratic movement in 1980's in Korea, specifically in the city of Gwang-Ju. I was too young to remember or understand anything that was going on at that time; however, I am very much surprised at where Korea is now today.
I still think that a country such as Pakistan still has a chance.
