If you loved The Contact, try Hwang Jin Yi

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 Chang Youn-hyun, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Contact, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Hwang Jin Yi is

A courtesan learns the family secret that sent her down a different kind of path. She navigates love and status while singing between silk and shadows. The film thinks it’s more romantic than it really is.
