Program Note
Chunhui lost her parents at an early age and often feels lonely. Living with her relatives when she was only a teenager was difficult. Besides, she had excessive sweating, which made her more nervous and timid. Now that she is a grown-up, bright and brave, she sees someone and that person loves her back. She has been seeing her younger self ever since she was struck by lightning walking along a village path. This film moves back and forth between adult Chunhui’s present with young Chunhui’s past, showing their strange cohabitation. It keeps a bright tone, except in a few sad scenes and portrays Chunhui as a courageous, kindhearted girl. Hilariously playing with different generic conventions of romance comics, coming-of-age story, fairytale, and comedy, the film helps you emphasize with Chunhui and understand her life better. (JUNG Hanseok)
