AKA: Wontak Angel
Genre: Comedy, Fantasy
Origin: Korea
Relese date: August 24, 2006
Cast: Lee Min Woo, Ha Dong Hoon (HaHa), Kim
Sang Joong and Lim Ha Ryong.
Being in and out of prison for some time
now Kang Young Kyu (Lim Ha Ryong) is to leave it in less than 24 hours and
looks forward to see his son again, but when he is asked to play kickball in
the prison he meets an accident and dies in matter of minutes. His son Kang Won
Tak (Lee Min Woo) feeling that his father has abandoned him all his life, and
now ‘run away’ by dying, has started hating him. When the angel of death is to
pick up Young Kyu, Young Kyu is reluctant and refuses to go until he is able to
go back and become his son’s best friend and ask for his son’s
forgiveness.
That is when the angel decides to send
Young Kyu back to the as his younger self (Ha Dong Hoon - Ha Ha), a kid of the
same age, so that he can get what he wishes for. But Won Tak isn’t exactly a
model student or a nice one at that…
Oh wow, I didn’t expect to like it this
much. It is very typical, but has a great storyline and ending - caught me by
surprise. It had a realistic feel to it (LOL, if the entire ‘second chance’
thing really exists that is), and shows somewhat a half-romantic picture of the
Korean people. But then again, most movies do.
Lee Min Woo was the reason for me to watch
this, and I realized why he didn’t do anything else, he really is not actor
material - though he did well at the end.
All in all, a good and nice movie,
recommendable!
