NOVPUBfirst day of release
A windy rape flower field.
The sight of lovely yellow flowers dancing was so beautiful that it was unrealistic.
Jinhee said, ‘I want to see the rape flower fields,’ and that was the origin of bringing her there.
A calm and beautiful melody can be heard along with the two’s backs. However, sometimes the strangely misaligned notes of the string instruments irritate the ears.
-···It’s beautiful.
Jinhee doesn’t respond to Yuil’s words for a long time. Jinhee opens her mouth, her gaze fixed on a white butterfly flying alone.
– Now, don’t come here again.
With that line, the music that had been annoying my ears all of a sudden cuts out.
Silence where not even the slightest noise can be heard.
In that silence, the corner of Gwon’s eyes trembles slightly.
After that, Kiwon is not seen in front of Jinhee for a while. Since he disappeared, Jinhee keeps experiencing strange things. One of her socks disappears every time, and every time she tries to eat, her chopsticks disappear.
Jinhee’s daily life begins to creak like a table with one short leg.
It was around the time when Jinhee was barely able to continue her life that one side of her had collapsed that Giwon reappeared.
– You were waiting for me.
‘···!’
At that moment, Byungsoo Lee quietly took a breath.
The camera shakes slightly while capturing the large face of Kiwon. What was more shaking than that was the eyes of the origin... and the emotions that were shaking within them.
Joy rises from the midst of nervousness. And the affection inflated like a balloon. It all seemed to be seen through Yuil’s unique eyes.
“···under.”
A small laugh came out of Lee Byung-soo’s mouth.
It was ridiculous acting.
From then on, Byungsoo Lee gave up looking and analyzing.
.
.
.
After the night when Jinhee and Kiwon completely shared their hearts with each other, Kiwon truly disappears.
After he disappears, Jinhee, who has been obsessively cleaning the house, reads a novel he wrote. And Jinhee is shocked.
[She met a man. The man was delighted with everything he had with his woman, and she loved everything about him.
.··The man’s name was Gwon.]
– It’s been quite a while.
– Because I... waited.
Everything Gwon said, and everything she said herself, were lines from a novel she wrote a long time ago.
The ending point of the novel is where Gwon and Jinhee meet in front of the mansion in the middle of the night.
– You were waiting for me.
Jinhee, who remembers everything that Gwon said to her, ends up losing her mind.
From the moment Jinhee realizes that she loved a fictional character, Jinhee begins to break down.
Jinhee, who always wore neat and elegant clothes, wears a bright pink dress that she always kept in her closet.
– Jinhee...?
People around her are surprised to see Jinhee like that.
– It looks different today.
To those around her, Jinhee just smiles. It was a bright and pure smile, but it looked dangerous, as if it might break at any moment.
– Jinhee... where... are you going...
Then one day.
Her husband, who knows nothing, calls Jinhee with difficulty in a voice that seems as if it will break at any moment.
Jinhee, who was about to leave the house without saying a word, stops. And then she quickly approaches her husband.
After looking down at her husband for a moment, Jinhee removes all the hoses connected to his body.
The husband looks up at Jinhee with disbelieving eyes. But Jinhee looks down at her panting husband with impassive eyes.
And at the climax of the movie, Jinhee sets the house on fire.
She lies down on the bed, tightly hugging the white handkerchief that Gwon gave her. The fire begins to spread.
At that time, the origin that had not appeared all along appears again.
After seeing the burning mansion from afar, Gwon runs over with a pale face. The figure of Gwon running towards her burning mansion is seen from a bird’s eye view angle.
‘···!’
The sound of intake of breath could be heard here and there in the audience.
People who thought that Ki-won was a character from Jin-hee’s fantasy are confused once again.
And the movie heads back to the past.
Back when he wasn’t the ‘origin’.
.
.
.
– My wife and boss went to the hospital. All the items in the house are expensive, so be careful not to break a single one.
A boy came into the mansion at the request of a housekeeper who was on leave. The boy, dressed in old clothes and diligently cleaning his house, discovers a small notebook hidden under the bed.
I didn’t intend to read it from the beginning. The moment I picked up the notebook to put it away, the first page fell out.
[There was a child who cried all night without knowing he was born safely.]
It was a novel.
The boy began reading the novel as if he were fascinated. He read through a chapter in one go, but because cleaning time was running out, he had no choice but to put the notebook under the bed again.
From then on, the boy often went to the mansion to clean.
Every time he came to clean, the landlords were in the hospital, so the boy was able to read novels in secret.
While reading the novel, one chapter at a time, the boy became a young man, and his posture and voice also changed from before.
The young man who read the novel while cleaning every few months reaches the last chapter. However, the novel actually had no ending.
– ···Nonsense.
The young man, who was helpless at first, began to get angry.
He had already created himself in the same way as in the novel. He could no longer recall his previous self.
– You don’t have to come here from now on. Your wife said she won’t be using a housekeeper anymore... You said you found a new job, right?
Gwon’s face, looking straight ahead with a shocked face, gradually overlaps with the present Gwon’s face.
– Jinhee! Jinhee!
Won-won holds Jin-hee in his arms, stained with tears.
However, Jinhee’s breath had already stopped.
A charred mansion. There is a slow close-up of the burnt white handkerchief Jinhee holds in her hand.
The movie ended with the strange and soothing music that played at the beginning.
‘···.’
Byungsoo Lee sat in his seat and quietly watched the credits roll.
Short and short. Rhythm and sound of editing. Control of metabolic flow and strength.
In my decades of experience as a critic, I have rarely ‘appreciated’ a movie completely.
This was because watching and carefully examining all the elements of a movie had become as natural as breathing.
However, there are times when some movies do not require analysis. A good movie makes you feel all of those things naturally.
‘I was wrong.’
This movie was a powerful blow to him who had expected to be disappointed.
*
That evening.
A new review has been posted in the critic review section of < Jinhee>.
– ★★★★★★★★★☆ 9.0
I finally found it. A prayer that will destroy me.
┗ Wow, 9 points ㄷㄷ;;
┗ ㅁㅊ
┗ Why did this brother’s score become so generous?
┗┗ He’s not my brother, he’s my grandfather..
┗ Has this person ever had a movie with a score of 9?
┗┗ First of all, it was not found in Korean movies.
┗ I booked a ticket right away after seeing this review.
Lee Byung-soo’s one-line comment became quite a hot topic in the community.
For Lee Byung-soo, who had never given a score of 10, 9 was actually the highest score.
– I don’t like director Won Hee-soo very much.
[I’m curious because I see Jinhee’s good reviews]
┗ 22
┗ I hadn’t even thought about Seo Hyun-joo and Han Yu-il, but when I saw the trailer, it looked fun..
┗ Won Hee-soo will probably be the work of his life.
– Has anyone seen the original Jinhee?
[ㄱㄴ]
┗ Me
┗┗ How is it?
┗┗ It’s a masterpiece.
┗┗ Kim Soo-bong is not called a legend for no reason.
┗ Watch the full video on OTube.
┗┗ Wow, I have to go see it.
┗┗ But will it be fun to watch all of this?
┗┗ The overall content is the same, but the historical setting and details have changed.
┗┗ I’m going to see it first!
– I’ve been bored with movies lately.
[After watching Jinhee’s trailer, my mind became clearer.. I have to run to Jojo]
┗ Really looking forward to it
┗ Looking at the review of the premiere, there was a lot of praise for the direction and actors’ acting.
While movie buffs were engulfed in anticipation for the movie, Yuilmooi, Han Yuil’s fan cafe, was heating up with a pictorial released a few hours ago.
The pictorial in question was that of Han Yu-il and Seo Hyun-joo, released in the October issue of the famous fashion magazine Piff.
‘···oh my god.’
Lee Hye-jin looked at the pictorial with blank eyes.
A studio decorated like a forest.
With this in the background, Han Yu-il and Seo Hyun-joo were sitting with their backs to each other and staring at each other with their faces hiding their true feelings.
Along with the couple pictorial, individual cuts of the actors were also released. There were three personal photos of Yuil in total, and in particular, the more I looked at the photo of Yuil standing directly in front of the camera, holding a flower and smiling with a languid face, the more my heart fluttered.
‘···Is it okay for me to see something like this?’
Early that morning, when she lost sleep while looking at the pictorial, Hyejin Lee started uploading a storm to Blue Chat.
.
.
.
【[@jinnnny (photo) (photo) (photo) This is paradise]
┗ [@feyh_herev no, the second photo ㅁㅊ]
┗ [@yuulll_33 Wasn’t Han Yuil actually a fairy?]】
Yuil, who was reading the Blue Chat posts posted by Bwin, shook his head.
‘···It’s done now.’
In an instant, the translucent window disappeared.
Yoo Il recalled the photo shoot process.
The photo shoot with Seo Hyun-joo was okay.
The problem was the personal cut.
– Yes, this is what it feels like... ‘I am a fairy of smoke taking a break in the forest!’ With that feeling! You know what it is, right?
Of course I couldn’t know.
Yuil looked at the camera with the most languid expression possible, while the photographer shouted one after another in an excited voice.
– that’s right!
– Oh, I love it now!
– Oh, that!!
···Anyway, I was glad that the result wasn’t bad.
Yuil, who had been thinking about the photo shoot for a while, came to his senses when he heard a voice calling him.
“You can come this way.”
Yuil walked along with the staff.
Today was the official release date of < Jinhee> and the day of stage greetings.
*
‘···It definitely didn’t feel like this before.’
Yuil looked around the audience with an unfamiliar feeling.
“Aaaah!”
“sister!”
“Han Yoo-il is handsome~!”
People looking at themselves with excited mood and flushed faces.
People holding bouquets of flowers and cameras were also noticeable.
Every time Han Yu-il and Seo Hyeon-joo opened their mouths, sparkling eyes turned towards them. Every word was followed by a huge response.
Yoo Il recalled a few times when he went to stage greetings with director Yoo Jae-ho. He clearly remembered that the atmosphere was different and static.
As I was frantically giving my thoughts and greeting the audience, the time allotted for the stage greetings was already over.
“Now, I heard that there is a gift prepared by the actors themselves!”
The ‘gift’ was a poster and a special postcard with the actors and director’s autographs.
On the way back to the stage after delivering gifts to the audience selected by lottery, Yuil was caught by earnest eyes.
“This, this... this.”
A woman with short permed hair sitting in the hallway carefully handed something to Yuil.
It was a placard with ‘I love you Han Yu-il’ written on it and a pink headband with folded ears.
“evil! Actor, this too!”
“Here you go!”
Yoo Il, who returned to the stage with a bunch of presents, blinked with a bewildered look on his face. Most of it was her bouquet of flowers and unusual-looking headband.
‘···It was given to you to use, right?’
【That’s right. The headband appears to be one of the characters from EBC’s children’s broadcast, ‘Dang Daengkong’...】
When Yuil put on the pink headband, cheers erupted from everywhere.
‘Is this right...’
Director Won Hee-su, who saw Yoo Il tilting his head, smiled brightly and said.
“Do you think you were born wearing it?”
Then laughter erupted from the audience.
The friendly atmosphere continued until the end. Just before taking the last group photo, Seo Hyun-joo and Won Hee-soo were also wearing crown headbands and hats with ears that they received from fans sitting in front.
“Actors, can you give us one last word?”
In response to the host’s question, Yu Il slowly made eye contact with the audience members sitting in their seats.
Those who made eye contact with him here. And even at this very moment, many people sitting in theaters will be watching the movie he appeared in and talking about it.
“’Jinhee’ has always been one of my favorite works. It was truly an honor to participate in such a work as Ki-won. I hope you enjoy watching the movie. thank you.”
Yu Il finished his final greeting concisely, looked around at the people one last time slowly, and then walked away.
‘···I hope everyone enjoys it.’
.
.
.
And < Jinhee> mobilized 120,000 viewers on the first day of release, rising to second place at the box office.
This was the beginning of the ‘Jinhee Syndrome’.
