If you loved Dooman River, try Gyeongju

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Zhang Lu, and they both carry the slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Dooman River, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Gyeongju is

This one's for anyone who likes their romances gentle, verging on comatose. A professor travels to Gyeongju, South Korea, after a friend's death and encounters a beautiful tea shop owner. It's a film that will definitely send you to sleep if you're already tired.
