Lee Yoon-ki : 2004
This Charming Girl
In her mid-twenties, Jeong-hye is a postal worker who lives a monotonous daily routine. She is kind, detached and delicate, but trapped in an inner world of melancholy and psychological trauma. She accepts being cut off from the outside world as natural. When she takes in and adopts a stray kitten, events begin to bring her out of her shell, leading her to a more conscious interaction with the world around her. An equally timid aspiring writer who often comes to the post office then expresses an interest in her. As she reaches out to him, Jeong-hye's unexplained peacefulness is shaken, and hidden trauma begins to make its way to the surface of her emotions. This gentle, slow-paced character study following a young woman's simple, quiet life reveals the complex landscape of her hidden internal world. Lee Yoon-ki's award-winning debut feature is an extraordinary and detailed portrayal of a human being's inner space.
