YesAsia Editorial Description

View Korea's history through the eyes of The President's Barber !

Veteran actor Song Kang Ho plays Han Mo an ordinary man living in the close vicinity of Korea's President with his wife Min Ja (Moon So Ri) and his son Nak An (Lee Jae Eun). The tale takes place in one of Korea's most turbulent eras during the 60s and the 70s. Lucky enough to be assigned as the barber of Korea's most powerful man, Han's business flourishes after all available men are ordered to serve in the army and therefore need their hair shortened. Recalling some of Korea's most shaking political events, director Lim Chang Sang also leaves room for some humor, offering viewers a vivid blend of fictitious history and comical cinema.

* Director : 임찬상

- 가장 신뢰가는 만남, 한국을 대표하는 배우, 송강호와 문소리
- 가장 새로운 시대극, 평범한 소시민의 삶을 통해 그려진 폭압의 시대....
- 가장 특별한 감동, 소박하지만 가장 위대한 아버지의 가슴 뻐근한 이야기...
- 가장 완벽한 재현, 1960년대부터 70년말까지의 역사, 사건, 공간 그리고 인간!
- 한국영화가 30년 전 그때 그 시절을 뜨거운 심장과 충혈된 눈 없이도 온전히 바라볼 수 있게 됐다는 걸 알려주는 2004년이 낳은 의미 있는 작품.

아버지는 평범한 이발사이셨지만... 평범한 일만을 하셨던 건 아니었습니다.
왜냐하면 아버지는... 대통령이 사는 동네의 이발사이셨기 때문이죠.
1954년 11월 29일 사사오입 개헌 - “애 안 날랍니더.” “그런거 없어. 사사오입!
즉 뱃속의 애가 다섯 달이 넘으면 애를 낳아야 된다는 얘기야!”
1960년 3월 15일 3.15 부정선거 - 나라를 위한 일이라기에 투표용지를 먹어버리고, 나머지는 땅에 묻었다.

A normal story/person turn out to be special one Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
Normally I just watch romance/comedy. I don't I'll get this title in this cover (look mysterious & boring that I won't be interest in). However I did accident bought this serie in different cover the barber with his son, actually I think the other cover is better too. Anyway, what I want to say is that the movie is really good, not boring at all (even to a person who're not interest in political). Also it's very touching story, wonder if everything is real. Not for those who are "dating" ~ No love story.
