About This DVD
In "Miss Gold Digger" ("Yonguijudo Miss Shin"), Han Ye-seul dominates the
running time -- for 98 percent, to be exact -- as a likable beauty who compares
and contrasts four different potential Mr. Rights. But the movie's heroine Shin
Mi-su played by Han is not an original character. Rather it's a combination of
Kim Ah-joong, who hit it big early this year with "200 Pounds Beauty" featuring
herself as a symbol of transformation through plastic surgery, and Jeon Ji-hyeon,
who represents a cranky yet enchanting beauty, as showcased in the classic
romantic comedy "My Sassy Girl".
When Shin puts on chic dresses and sexy club outfits, she looks like Kim A-jung's
after-surgery version. And when Shin throws up something unmentionable to a man
after heavy drinking, she seems to imitate what Jeon Ji-hyeon did to Cha Tae-hyeon
in the notorious subway scene. But Han Ye-seul is neither Kim Ah-joong nor Jeon
Ji-hyeon. All three of the actresses are regarded as similarly iconic beauties
in the country's entertainment industry, but placing Han's big-screen debut
squarely between Kim and Jeon does not help her cut an original character.
Instead of cultivating a unique character, director Park Yong-jib focuses on the
personal charm of Han Ye-seul, who tiptoes, runs, screams and stumbles to flesh
out a highly stereotyped Shin Mi-su, who is juggling shaky relationships with
four different men in order to catch the ideal spouse.
Shin Mi-su, an up-and-coming advertising specialist, is keen to attract a
superrich chaebol family member (played by Kwon O-joong) by doing some volunteer
work in a bid to accentuate her angelic image. But she does not bet on a single
candidate. One of her hedges is a bespectacled, dorky student (Kim In-kwon) who
is preparing to pass the state bar exam -- a quick gateway to wealth and power
in Korea. She constantly eggs and nudges him to study hard to pass the exam. Her
devotion to such a long-term investment has a clear purpose: to become a wife of
a powerful prosecutor. At the same time, Shin half-heartedly hangs out with a
handsome rapper (Son Ho-young, former singer of the top music group G.O.D.),
just for fun. The relationships become complicated when Shin encounters a fourth
contender (Lee Jong-hyuk), a neighbor in the same apartment complex who happens
to hold the key to one of her advertising projects.
Actress Han Ye-seul offers advice on how to ``shop'' for men in her screen
debut. In her polygamous romantic relationships, she adopts different personas
for each boyfriend, from being a prim and proper lady for her JFK-like boyfriend
to a sexy party girl for a young rapper. But when her shopping spree starts to
get tangled, the men show their true side when they discover that they have been
manipulated.
