My Beautiful Days (DVD) (US Version)

Product Description

Twenty-four marks the age when the average Korean male gets discharged from his military service & confronts the fear of plunging into the real world. Written by up-&-coming screenwriter Choi Hong Suk when he was 24 years old & directed by Im Jong Jae ( Kill the Love), My Beautiful Days addresses the stifling issues bombarding so many of todays young people. The film was honored with the Jury Award at the 46th Athens International Film Festival. Unlike many other films that sensationalize or patronize the tribulations of youth in the disguised form of rebellion, this coming-of-age drama simply focuses on the small trivial matters that ultimately snowball into meaningful discoveries in their lives.

It used to be sex that meant everything to Jun (Kim Hyun Sung, Resurrection of the Little Match Girl, The Puzzle). But now going on 24, he feels that theres much to life than just having sex. Currently serving out his military duties working at a district office, Jun knows he has only one month left before he has to face the real world. Overwhelmed by the uncertainties of his future, Jun finds himself at a loss. Another worry Jun has is whether he should put an end to his sexual escapade with an older married woman, which has been going on for some time. Just then, he runs into his first love Eun Ji (Byun Eun Jung, First Wives Club) & they set another date to meet up again. But Eun Jis younger sister, Hyun Ji (Kim Min Sun; For Eternal Heats, Glass Slipper), shows up instead to fill in for her sister, & Jun forms a strong attraction for the outgoing younger sister. With so much to juggle in his head & time running out, what will Jun do next?
