Directing
Six animated shorts about discrimination and being different. “Daydream” talks about dealing with people with disability. It homes in on the daily life of a father with a daughter whose hands and feet are deformed. “Animal Farm” relies on the rough-and-ready feel of stop-motion clay animation to create a satire of bullying and mob dynamics. “At Her House” paints a devastating picture of gender inequality within a marriage. “Flesh and Bone” gently pillories superficiality and the obsession with outward appearance. “Bicycle Trip” focuses on the discrimination experienced by foreign workers in Korea. “Be a Human Being” looks at the way young Koreans are barely treated as human beings before they get to university.
This drama, which tells the story of a high school girl who falls in love with her new bachelor math teacher, was controversial even before it aired. The math teacher already had a fiancée, and the fiancée wasn't a villain, but the main character, Chae-rim, came between the two peaceful people and blatantly stole their relationship.
