About This DVD
Park Kwang Su, the acclaimed director of Chilsoo and Mansoo and Black Republic,
returns to the chair for his first feature film since 1999, and the results may
surprise those familiar with his works. Departing from the gritty social realism
of his earlier titles, Park's latest film Meet Mr. Daddy focuses on the personal
experience, telling a remarkably human and heartwarming story about a thug who
experiences an awakening after meeting his young daughter. The versatile Park
Shin Yang (The Big Swindle, Lovers in Paris) subtly captures the protagonist's
transformation, exhibiting the skill and charisma that has made him one of
Korea's top and most respected stars. Talented child actress Seo Shin Ae, who
recently featured in MBC drama Thank You, is adorable, heart-tugging, and mature
beyond her years, holding her own with her veteran co-star. Interestingly, Seo's
role was originally meant to be a boy, but Park suggested changing the character
to a girl, as he himself has a young daughter and wanted to bring his experience
as a father to the screen.
Small-time gangster Jong Dae (Park Shin Yang) has dreams of making it big, but
he's been living in a trailer, supporting himself through petty crimes. A
swindler who talks rough and accomplishes little, he thinks only of himself and
is annoyingly particular, being a health food freak who only eats organic
vegetables. When Jong Dae lands in prison dead broke, a former lover agrees to
bail him out on the condition that he take care of their sickly seven-year-old
daughter (Seo Shin Ae) for a month.
2007 has seen a string of films centering around the father figure, including
The Show Must Go On, Bunt, My Son, and My Father, and Meet Mr. Daddy offers
perhaps the most direct and affecting story. The film transcends its
melodramatic trappings with restrained direction, superb acting, and realistic
characters.
