Review: Eungyo, 2012

Eungyo by Ji-woo JUNG aroused audiences' attention by the exposure of the actress. The ticket sales is over 1.3 million. JUNG's former works are Happy End (1999), Blossom Again (2005), Modern Boy (2008). Happy End and Blossom Again were good but Modern Boy was so so. It is certain he is one of the best directors in Korea.

Eungyo is very much cinematic. I mean, it is melodrama but there are love, tension, betrayal, misunderstanding and murder at the same time. LEE can forgive Jiwoo's theft but not about love. Love and jealousy are the same words.

I wonder how conservative Korean audiences understand the Love scene with a high school girl. Considering Happy End included an exceptional sex scene 10 years ago, JUNG must have thought about commercial success. And as his intention, vulgar marketers royally followed. 

Eungyo, whenever she shows up, the old poet hears a sweet piano melody.


Eungyo, a high school student, climbed to LEE's house over a wall through a ladder and she fell into sleep his arm chair. She said she always wanted to sleep this kind of chair. LEE's apprentice, Jiwoo SEO says she is a neighbor. And she starts a part time job at LEE's house.   


LEE is over 70s and a famous poet, but his heart is all aflutter by Eungyo's innocence and sensuality.    


When he meets Eungyo, he finds a young himself inside. He falls in love with her, and writes a short novel about the love secretly.   


Ji-woo, LEE's apprentice, accidentally finds the novel and publishes it by his name. He is also a bestseller novelist, but actually the novel was written by LEE. The short novel is awarded and LEE becomes to know about it. The relationship is broken. Eungyo reads the novel and she thanks about Jiwoo describes her such beautiful character. 


They get together at LEE's birthday. Eunkyo and Ji-woo come and LEE forgives Ji-woo. The party is over. LEE and Jiwoo are drunk. Eungyo leaves, but she comes back and forwards to Ji-woo. 


LEE hears a strange sound, wakes up, follows it. he witnesses Ji-woo and Eungyo make love.  


LEE breaks Ji-woo's car in the night. The next morning Ji-woo happens to have an accident. Mechanic tells someone intentionally broke it. he is very upsets and drives back to LEE's. And he has a car accident and dies. LEE leaves a voice message to Eungyo. I killed Ji-woo.   


Eungyo reads the novel again, and realizes that not Ji-woo but LEE wrote it.


Eungyo goes to LEE, finds many bottles of wines. She says thank you for writing me so beautiful. LEE says good-bye after she leaves.
