Celebrated director Park Chan-wook's first effort as a producer is the comedy-drama "Crush and Blush". Kong Hyo-jin plays the titular character, a marginalised woman whose head easily turns red. Her love for a man played by Lee Jong-hyuk is unrequited. But the teacher doesn't give up that easily.
First time feature film director Lee Kyoung-mi is at the helm of the project. She has experience directing short films. "Crush and Blush" is scheduled for a October 16 release.
The film gained more publicity when a cameo of director Bong Joon-ho ("The Host)" became known. BONG appears as an office worker who takes English classes at a language institute together with KONG's character.
