Christmas In August DVD

| DVD

It's a long hot summer in Korea; on the outskirts of Seoul shy thirtysomething bachelor Jung-won (Han Suk-kyu) is reeling from the heatwave. Retiring to his photo studio he dutifully accedes to the requests of students who ask him to enlarge their favorite girls' pictures housewives who request him to restore their images of young age and elderly women who come to his studio alone to have photos taken for portrait. Everything changes when the unconventional twentysomething Da-rim (Shim Eun-ha) enters the studio one day. Stopping off from her traffic control duties... more and more often Da-rim's consistenly surprising and endearingly awkward attempts to woo the older man cause a subtle excitement in his heart. However Jung-won bears a painful secret that as the pair grow closer will make any relationship tinged with sadness... Boasting an terrific central turn by perhaps Korea's finest actor Han Suk-kyu matched by an outstanding performance from Shim Eun-ha 'Christmas In August' is Hur Jin-ho's masterful look at a delicate relationship on borrowed time a surefooted but never schmaltzy romantic drama a beautifully evocative Korean weepie.
