If you loved The Taebaek Mountains, try Chunhyang

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 Im Kwon-taek, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Taebaek Mountains, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Chunhyang is

Here's a movie that really wants you to know it's a folktale. Star-crossed lovers from different social classes meet, but he has to leave her to take an exam. A corrupt official then arrives to complicate things for the maiden. It has commitment to its source material, certainly.
