The Recipe (DVD) (First Press Edition) (Korea Version)

YesAsia Editorial Description

A death row murder convict's final request before execution is to taste a particular soybean stew one last time. His request piques the curiosity of television producer Yu Jin (Ryu Seung Ryong), who follows the strange story to a mysterious woman named Jang Hye Jin (Lee Yo Won) whose soybean stew brings diners to tears. What is so special about her recipe?

One bowl of soybean stew reveals an unforgettable story of love, pain, and obsession in The Recipe. For her first film in 12 years, director Anna Lee cooks up a genre-defying work of romance, suspense, and comedy revolving around a traditional Korean dish. The film brings together the unexpected cast of Ryu Seung Ryong (Best Seller), Lee Yo Won (Queen Seon Duk, May 18), and Korean Wave star Lee Dong Wook (Heartbreak Library), in his last work before entering the army.

 Hye-Jin takes ‘Care’ of her Soybean Stew (A) Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
“Doenjang Jjigae” (a.k.a. The Recipe), is a mixture of droll comedy, detective sleuthing (by a TV news reporter), dreamy fantasy romance and…Soybean Stew! The fable begins with serial killer Jong-Jin Kim, who becoming so absorbed in eating his bowl of delicious doenjang stew at a mountain cabin restaurant, is oblivious of stakeout police raiding the cabin to capture him. In fact, the stew even causes the armed police to lick their lips at the steamy aroma. Now docile, Jong-Jin is arrested and in a bigger stew when sentenced for his crimes on death row, but yearns for another last bowl of the yummy soybean before his fatal sentence. But TV news man Yu-rin Choi (Seung-ryong Ryu), on the case of the serial killer for a news report, becomes fascinated by Jong-jin’s unusual arrest situation, and decides to sleuth out the origins of the intoxicating soybean stew as an additional news item. This leads Yu-rin on a quest to find a young orphan woman named Hye-Jin (Yo-won Lee), who was born into a soybean farm family and taught the Soybean Ways by her mother before she died. Hye-jin inherits a pagan talent to locate special ingredients in the wilds for doenjang, and painstakingly creates a life enhancing ‘magic’ soybean stew recipe, that brings joy to anyone who smells/eats it. Thus absorbing Jong-Jin’s smell and taste buds that get him easily arrested. (In fact no police team would need tazzer stun guns when Hye-jin’s passive inducing soybean stew is on the menu!) But Hye-jin’s loving ‘ingredients’ also contain personal human sadness.

Yu-rin’s trail towards Hye-jin is mapped out by surprising discoveries of her ever-exotic ingredients. But amidst his quest, Yu-jin learns that Hye-jin, and a twin brother businessman, had become victims of a car crash. But the police only find the body of the businessman at the wreckage and beautiful butterflies mysteriously surrounding the car - but no sign of Hye-jin. Believing Hye-Jin alive, Yu-jin continues his search and later finds a young plum wine maker named Hyeon-soo (Dong-wok Lee), who Hye-Jin fell in love with. But Hyeon-soo, called away concerning a family tragedy, never returns back to Hye-jin, causing her grief and a desperate need to see him again. Especially after completing her soybean stew concoction, including alcoholic aromas from Hyeon-soo’s plum tree grove and by their combined natural skills, sealed their mutual love. Hye-jin’s first bowl of stew to HS was her token gift to bond their love forever.

 Hye-Jin takes ‘Care’ of her Soybean Stew (B) Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
“Doenjang” is a lovely romantic fable that ironically takes time (well over an hour) before it fully ferments into a dreamy romance (blossom plum trees, delicate sweetness, butterflies). At first it’s all amusing satire and droll wit, with motion freeze frame effects of startled faces and various humorous TV news interviews about Jong-Jin’s zany arrest, and hardly a sniff that this could be any sort of romance. But as soon as Yo-won enters the scene as pretty Hye-jin, the deadpan humour clouds part and the whiff of a melancholic romance breezes in (amongst soybean stew aroma). ‘Africa Cat’ Yo-won Lee makes brief appearances throughout the first 75 minutes (switching back and forth with Seung-ryong), and only really sustains her mark in the film’s last romantic moments; the latter being where Dong-wok Lee also dwells (in fact waiting for Dong-wok’s part in “The Recipe” is a like a miniature parallel of fans waiting for him to come out of his military service). Mainly the film’s perspective is through the sleuthing eyes of actor Seung-ryong as TV man Yu-rin, as he seeks out Divine mix recipe girl Hye-Jin and her complex soybean recipe. And boy are Hye-jin’s soybean ingredients complex; soybean’s grown by baby piglets, cricket vibrations helping perfect the yeast, lacquer tree spring water from a glade, even the crocks made of clay saturated with ume blossoms make the stew perfect (makes my egg and toast skills look a bit crap).

But the smells, nostalgia, romance, memory, patience, healing properties - are additional metaphorical ‘ingredients’ alongside the soybean stew stuffs, and multi reflective. Hye-jin’s magnetic love for Hyeon-soo prompted by their mirrored ‘scent’ skills and Hye-Jin and Hyeon-soo’s soybean and wine-making, blend into a discovery of healing love, even giving the twin businessman his lost sense of smell back, when he first encounters Hye-jin. Plus, Hye-jin’s knowledgeable but serendipitous recipe skills, mixed into a bowl of soybean nosh, even leave abducting serial killers transfixed by the smell and taste, like soul revival. But revival for Second Helpings than a Second Coming (arf). “The Recipe” as a painfully sad but beautiful conclusion, and the intricateness of the gossamer type ‘ingredients’ and how they mirror Korean society are quite endearing. It’s scenically beautiful too, by the rural crop fields, countryside and fantasy moments. Music is also very good, especially last half hour and the closing credits.
