Female Korean directors are in short supply, but their ranks gained a valuable addition with director KIM Hee-jung's debut feature film. "The Wonder Years" (YeolSesal, Sooa) depicts a high school girl who is unsatisfied with her life and mother, and creates an alternative take on her life.

KIM's short films got her noticed by the renowned Cannes Residence Program which selected her for their 2005 edition. There she developed "The Wonder Years", her first feature film.

The film premiered last week and offers an alternative for the big-budget summer fare. "The Wonder years" opened at ten in last weekend's box office.

Teenage actor LEE Se-yeong plays the protagonist girl. Her credentials include "Lovely Rivals" and "When I Turned Nine". The mother is played by CHOO Sang-mi ("On the Occasion of Remembering the Turning Gate", "A Smile"").

You might think that the new comedy "Small Town Rivals" was made by those who ought to know the ingredients of a good comedy.

In his new film, director Jang Gyoo-seong, who has shown talent in such previous hit comedies as "My Teacher, Mr.Kim" (2003) and "Lovely Rivals" (2004), teams up with veteran actors Cha Seung-won and Yoo Hae-jin _ well known for their comic performances in the past.

Cha and Yu don't deliver anything especially new _ they are quite comfortable in such roles with Cha playing a corruptive teacher in "My Teacher, Mr.Kim" and Yoo a talkative gambler in "Tazza: High Roller" ("The War of Flower" - 2006). But the two combined to produce satisfying results, eliciting bursts of laughter from audiences in this new film _ a story about rivalry and friendship between two old friends.

But the director may have tried too hard to be smart and ambitious in this movie. He unsuccessfully tries to weave heavy issues, such as politics, int...| More

"My Boyfriend Is Type-B (Pihyong Namjachingu)" (2005)

At 11 a.m. on May 21

Seoul Selection Bookstore


Many young people in South Korea believe that blood type determines an individual's personality, even though it hasn't been scientifically proven. Director Cho Seok-won takes advantage of this generally believed myth on blood types for this romantic comedy, and he matches the worst couple based on it. The film revolves around a girl named Ha-mi (played by Han Ji-hye) with blood type A, which is known to be very indecisive and introverted. She falls in love with handsome man Yong-bin (Lee Dong-geon) with blood type B, which represents selfishness. Although she manages to successfully go out with him, Ha-mi gets disappointed and hurt by Yong-bin's self-centered behavior. She decides to break up with him, but he tries hard to be a good boyfriend and prove that the myth about blood type is false. Tickets: 3,000 won. Located near Anguk Station, subway line 3.

■ Lovely Rivals (Yosonsaeng VS Yojeja) (2004)
At noon on Feb. 12
Seoul Selection

"Lovely Rivals" revolves around Yoe Mi-ok, played by Yeom Jeong-ha, a teacher who thinks about escaping from the school where she teaches and moving to the city instead of taking care of her students. Her easygoing life is challenged when she falls in love with a handsome and gentle male teacher, but one of her students, Ko Mi-nam, played by Lee Se-young, who is a more mature than her classmates, becomes the teacher's biggest hindrance to obtaining his love. Completely different from her roles as a femme fatale in her previous films, Yeom's comic acting as a sassy and quirky single woman in her 30s is good enough to bring the audiences to laughter. Tickets: 3,000 won. Located near Anguk Station, subway line 3. Details: (02) 734-9539 or http://www.seoulselection.com

YEO Mi-oak is a hot-blooded aging single woman who works as a teacher at a primary school nestled in a small city by the sea. She's so sly even the principal can't control her. Behind her elegant appearance, she lives by the day hiding her immature, rash, and shameless personality. She lets her own mistakes slide but she will never forgive any of her students' wrongdoings.

On the first day of school, a bold transfer student named GOH Mi-nam is late to school, but surprisingly even later than Mi-oak. Using Mi-nam as an excuse, Mi-oak takes control of the class by punishing everyone. But Mi-nam, who's reached puberty much faster than her peers, combined with a sharp tongue that any teacher is afraid of, isn't easily manageable. Mi-oak sees that she's up for a big challenge.

Things turn for the worse in the new semester at this countryside school as all the girls instantly go crazy when a new handsome single teacher, KWON Sang-choon, arrives. Mi-oak, who've always waited for the chance to escape from the country life and work for a big school in Seoul, is also no exception. Mi-oak has fallen for Sang-choon and to win his heart she uses every trick in the bag. But she has an unexpected rival to compete against. She's the very girl who doesn't let anyone get in her away, especially teachers. It's Mi-nam.

Now, a fierce rival between teacher and student unfolds and pushes the limit!
