Genre: Drama, Romance
Plot: The tale of a forbidden love in snowy Finland between a Korean woman with a handicapped child and a Korean architect on assignment.
What to expect: I love Lee Yoon-ki and it's been too long since we've seen something new from him. Teaming up with Jeon Do-yeon again and shooting in Estonia (doubling for Finland) also add plenty of promise. However, this does sound a little more melodramatic than his other outings, and the buzz has faded quite a bit, particularly as it did not receive a Berlinale invite, like all his others films have.
When can we see it? Comes out in Korea in February, though it’s possible that it could be delayed.
