2006 ‘싸이보그지만 괜찮아’ Directed by Park Chan-wook
Young-goon, mentally deranged and frequently electro-charging herself with a transistor radio, has been admitted into a mental institution. Firmly believing herself to be a cyborg, she refuses to consume like a human being. Il-soon is another patient, who catches the eye of Young-goon and soon becomes a close friend. Il-soon is now confronted with the biggest task - to cure Young-goon’s mental problem and have her eat real food.

really nice to see a movie where people with mental illness aren’t villainized in the slightest! the two leads treat each other with such respect and compassion, and are shown to be not just capable, but deserving of romantic love :’) gimme more absurdist arthouse romcoms!!!
is it too much to ask for someone who’s willing to make you a rice megatron that will convert your calories into electrical energy so you can fulfill your cyborg duties?
I lick batteries for lunch, but that's OK. If organic material gets inside my system, I'll break down. That's why miss Gop-dahn voluntarily eats my food for me.
My granny left her dentures behind before being hospitalized, but that's OK. With it's help, I can converse with other electric appliances around me. (The coffee machine says "hi")
The nurses insert tubes into my nose, but that's OK. Once I uninstall the sympathy inside me, I'll make sure they're all dead. I'm still working on the uninstalling part though, all the nurses have their own grannies and I don't want to give them trouble. The grannies are innocent.
I'm a cyborg, but that's OK. I have a thief by my side.…
it's physically impossible for park chan-wook to make a bad movie i guess because somehow the line "The vending machine says hi" made me cry
Seven deadly sins:
1. Sympathy
2. Being Sad
3. Restlessness
4. Hesitating about anything
5. Useless daydreaming
6.Feeling guilty
7. Thankfulness
I THINK I EARNED THE HELL!
park chan-wook you weird and wonderful man!!!!!! cinema is in debt to you thank you for your service 🤝
Of course the man who made The Vengeance Trilogy also made something as cute as this. It makes perfect sense.
it is weird, but it's like, a good weird. it's also fun, super sweet and has some killer yodelling scenes
I guess that Mr. Park, after serving up three savoury dishes of vengeance, thought it might be appropriate to whip up a sweet and fluffy desert. I recently sampled two out of the three main courses, and I can tell you that desert is exactly what I had in mind.
Park not only cleansed my palette, but he also went straight for my heart. He somehow knew that I craved the ingredients of quirky, absurd, and heartfelt, yet balanced with a dark, rich, flavour of longing and betrayal. He even added a hint of revenge to tie it into my previous courses. All the best chefs do that, and I really appreciated it.
With every spoonful I fell deeper and…
Who knew Park Chan-wook can serve up a delicious blend of love, lunacy and laughs?
Visually, the set design and color pallete are bright and surreal. In a circus of electric circuits, an unconventional love story is born exploring the thought-provoking journey into human psyche. What a performance by both lead actors and the other cast members too.
Overall, it is a different side of Park Chan-wook that we explore in this work which is refreshing but lacking that awe factor too!
