    K-Cinema | Love Reset (30일)

    Director
    Nam Dae Jung
    Running Time
    119 Minute
    Join us for this month's second K-Cinema romance movie, Love Reset, telling the story of No Jeong Yeol (Kang Ha Neul) and Hong Na Ra (Jung So Min), who were so madly in love that they decided to go against both of their family’s wishes and get married. Fast forward two years to divorce, yet a serendipitous case of amnesia gives this nearly written-off couple a second chance at life and love together. A light-hearted romantic romp, Love Reset (2023) directed by Nam Dae Jung is sure to delight (and perhaps set alight) even the coldest of hearts. Come early for Korean snacks before the movie! Free with an RSVP! Complimentary snacks. In Korean with English subtitles. Not rated. 119 minutes. Love Reset (30일) Wednesday, Feb. 26 at 5:30 PM (seating opens at 5:00 PM)  Korean Cultural Center Washington, D.C. (2370 Massachusetts Ave. NW) RSVP FOR THIS EVENT!

  2. K-Cinema | My Sassy Girl (엽기적인 그녀)

    K-Cinema | My Sassy Girl (엽기적인 그녀)

    Director
    Kwak Jae-yong
    Running Time
    137 Minute
    Just in time for Valentine's Day, join us this month for two classic Korean romance films from very different eras, starting with the classic 2001 Korean romantic comedy My Sassy Girl (엽기적인 그녀)! When Kyun-woo (Cha Tae-Hyun) meets an unnamed and exceptionally bold girl (Jun Ji-Hyun), he is shamed into assisting her because the others mistakenly think she is his girlfriend. Once he helps her, Kyun-woo develops a deep sense of responsibility and connection for this sassy girl, which enables him to somehow tolerate her abuses. Based on a series of true stories posted online by Ho-sik Kim describing his relationship with his girlfriend, My Sassy Girl (2001) by director Kwak Jae-yong is perhaps the most famous and successful Korean romantic movie period. Kim's stories were later transformed into a best-selling book which the movie follows closely. Come early for Korean snacks before the movie! Free with an RSVP! Complimentary snacks. In Korean with English subtitles. Not rated. 137 minutes.  My Sassy Girl (엽기적인 그녀)  Wednesday, Feb. 12 at 5:30 PM (seating opens at 5:00 PM)  Korean Cultural Center Washington, D.C. (2370 Massachusetts Ave. NW) RSVP FOR THIS EVENT!

  3. K-Cinema | Take Care of My Mom (말임씨를 부탁해)

    K-Cinema | Take Care of My Mom (말임씨를 부탁해)

    Director
    Park Kyung-mok
    Running Time
    110 Minute
    Join us for the second of two K-Cinema screening events in January exploring the importance of family and connection, featuring the timely 2022 comedy-drama Take Care of My Mom (말임씨를 부탁해).   When family members feel more like strangers than a hired caretaker, what is an aging parent to do? Malim (Kim Yeong-ok), age 85 and living alone, finds her independent lifestyle increasingly difficult to maintain. Her son, faced with his own financial and family burdens, is simply unavailable, and Malim’s discomfort is only worsened by the quirky but sincere caretaker he sends. When the Seollal (Lunar New Year) holiday brings the family together, tensions finally explode out into the open.   Director Park Kyung-mok's impactful feature debut Take Care of My Mom (2022) confronts the reality of caring for aging parents, a major societal challenge in modern Korea where a rapidly aging population has collided with a low birth rate and relentless economic pressure.   Take Care of My Mom (말임씨를 부탁해) Wednesday, Jan. 29 at 5:30 PM (seating opens at 5:00 PM) Korean Cultural Center Washington, D.C. (2370 Massachusetts Ave. NW) Free with an RSVP! Complimentary snacks. In Korean with English subtitles. Not rated. 110 minutes. RSVP FOR THIS EVENT!

    K-Cinema | Lucky Chan-sil (찬실이는 복도 많지)

    Director
    Kim Cho-hee
    Running Time
    96 Minute
    Join us for the first of two K-Cinema screenings in January exploring family and the importance of connection, featuring the hit 2020 comedy-drama-romance Lucky Chan-sil (찬실이는 복도 많지).   Chan-sil, a producer, finds herself unemployed after the sudden death of her long-time film collaborator. Out of prospects, luck, and a bit out of her mind, she moves into a cheap room to regroup and start from scratch. Has her luck really run out, or is a new life and love waiting just around the corner?   Lucky Chan-sil (2020) is the award-winning directorial debut for Kim Cho-hee, herself a former producer for famed auteur director Hong Sangsoo. Kim’s charming and insightful film mirrors her own real-life anxieties breaking free from the shadow of a male colleague, and features academy award winner Youn Yuh-jung alongside Kang Mal-geum in the title role.   Lucky Chan-sil (찬실이는 복도 많지) Wednesday, Jan. 15 at 6:00 PM (seating opens at 5:30 PM) Korean Cultural Center Washington, D.C.
