"I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK" was the much anticipated latest film of director PARK. Korean pop star Rain/JUNG Ji-hoon and leading actress Lim Soo-jung star as two mental patients in PARK's visual distinctive mental institution. PARK's films like Joint Security Area ("JSA - Joint Security Area") and "Oldboy" have often been received positively at international film festivals.
"Black House" is a thriller/horror film and held the number one position at the Korean box office this summer. Hwang Jung-min has been much praised by Korean reviewers for his acting in this film.
