At Christmas, many people choose to re-watch classic films like Home Alone. However, if you’re looking for more refreshing choices, below are some Korean content that embraces the spirit of this occasion.
“Josée”
“Josée” is a film starring Nam Joo Hyuk and Han Ji Min. Here, Han Ji Min transforms into the beautiful Josée, who has a complicated mentality and a fair share of sorrows. Meanwhile, Nam Joo Hyuk takes on the role of Young Seok, a college student who never appreciates love until he meets Josée.
Yong Seok and Josée met for the first time when the former helped the latter with her wheelchair. Then they started with shared meals and finally with a shared heart.
Slow-paced but not driving, “Josée” is an artistic masterpiece that can calm both the heart and soul, at the same time providing warm feelings for a joyous occasion like Christmas.
“Commit”
If “Josée” is a romantic story, “Pawn” manages to move souls with paternal love even in the absence of biological ties.
The film follows loan sharks Doo Seok and Jong Bae, who appear cold and rough on the outside, but actually carry extremely soft hearts inside. To collect debts, they “kidnapped” the little girl Seung Yi, and then formed a new family with her.
Featuring veteran actors such as Sung Dong Il, Kim Hee Won and Ha Ji Won, along with talented child actress Park So Yi, “Pawn” is also a festival of excellent acting performances, which audiences can’t help but praise.
