Will the repressed heroine finally cast off her emotional shackles and open herself up to a chance for new love? Or will Jeong-Hye withdraw even further? Lee Yoon Ki's directorial debut doesn't provide all the answers, but it does give us a peek into the life of a quirky, yet all-too-real woman in modern South Korea. This Charming Girl is acclaimed internationally, and was the winner of the NEPEC award at the Berlin International Film Festival, the Lotus Jury Prize at the Deauville Asian Film Festival, and the New Currents Award at the 2004 Pusan International Film Festival. Thanks to Lee Yoon Ki's sensitive direction and Kim Ji Soo's outstanding debut performance, This Charming Girl is a fascinating character study of an ordinary girl looking to heal some old wounds.
