Professional Review of "This Charming Girl (Taiwan Version)"

January 26, 2007

This professional review refers to This Charming Girl (DVD) (Korea Version)
From writer/director Lee Yoon Ki comes his feature length directorial debut, This Charming Girl, a multiple award-winning human drama about a seemingly ordinary young woman hiding a secret pain. In her first film role, Kim Ji Soo portrays Jeong Hye, a normal, if slightly eccentric, postal employee leading an interminably lonely existence. For reasons that are not immediately clear to the audience from the start, Jeong Hye keeps to herself, looking to solve whatever problems she's suffering from on her own. As the film progresses, we are drawn into her inner world, simultaneously charmed by her personality, yet concerned for her general well being. Her isolated situation begs the question, "What’s eating at her?"

Through the usage of flashbacks at opportune moments, viewers slowly get a sense of what's going on inside Jeong Hye's mind. Layer after layer of her character begin to get peeled back as her dual worlds of memory and reality start to merge before our eyes. Slowly but surely, her inner pain is revealed to be a direct result of a complex web of associations involving her mother, her former love, and her absent father.

In the midst of her quiet sadness, Jeong Hye decides to take a chance and invite one of her regular customers over for dinner. Will the unnamed writer (Hwang Jeong Min of Waikiki Brothers) reopen her eyes to a new possibility for love? Or will she retreat to her inner world of quiet solitude once more? The answer to that question is slightly ambiguous, but perhaps hopeful.

This Charming Girl is by all rights an atypical experience in modern cinema. Audiences accustomed to having their stories spoon-fed to them will not enjoy This Charming Girl. This is a quiet, ponderous, and leisurely paced film, so viewers searching for a fast-paced popcorn flick will need to look elsewhere for entertainment. The restrained approach on the part of the director will infuriate the ADD crowd. Although by no means pretentious, This Charming Girl is probably more of an art-house film than a rousing crowd-pleaser.

Even without much dialogue, Kim Ji Soo's gives a revelatory debut performance, one definitely worthy of the accolades she’s received since the film’s release. Amazingly, she is able to convey a spectacular range of emotions with little more than a look or a gesture. Thanks to her winning performance and superb direction on the part of Lee Yoon Ki, This Charming Girl amounts to a fine film and a haunting portrayal of how the psychological traumas of the past can impinge on one's life in the present.

wonderful acting Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
i saw this at the screening of it at the Vancouver Internation Film Festival. True, it was pretty slow moving, even for a korean drama/movie, but this time i have no complaints. it's a slow movie, but the acting ability and intepretation done by the actress makes this movie worth while. it's worth it to check it out.

understated beauty Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
I saw this last week at the London Korean Film Festival with not much of an idea what it was about. I left the cinema feeling that I'd seen a beautifully directed and acted film. Some might say the pace is slow but that's to reflect the story and content of the girl's quiet existence. That said, it doesn't ever get boring because you get taken in by this girl, this charming girl and her dreamy life, wanting to know more about her which the director feeds in by flashbacks as random things cause Jeong-Hye, to remember, thus revealing what lies beneath her tranquil surface.

This film doesn't tie up all the knots but leaves the viewer plenty to ponder - an insight into the life of someone trying to overcome their emotional demons and re-engage with the world. The lead actress gives an astonishing performance for a debut - not much dialogue but full of expression and emotion. Overall highly recommended - a lyrical and poetic film.
