Gong Yoo comeback with " The Crucible" 2011 Korean Movie


Also known as "Dogani" and "Silenced"
Based on the novel of the same name written by star author Gong Ji-young, whose novels have sold more than a million copies. When her novel was published in June 2009, it became an instant hit also because it is based on a true story.


        
    The film begins as Gang In-ho (Gong Yoo), who is working to earn money for his daughter’s surgery, is appointed to a school for hearing-impaired children in Gwangju. But what he discovers there is an ugly truth: the children are being physically and sexually abused by their teachers. 
When he decides to fight for the children’s rights and expose the crimes being committed at the school, In-ho teams up with human rights activist Seo Yu-jin (Jeong Yu-mi). But he and Yu-jin soon realize the school’s principal and teachers, and even the police, prosecutors and churches in the community are actually trying to cover up the truth.




Cast : Gong Yoo, Jeong Yu-mi , Kim Hyeon-soo, Jeong In-seo
Released in South Korea on September 2011.

I'm a cyborg but that's ok (Korean Movie) Download


The film takes place mostly in a mental institution filled with an eclectic menagerie of patients. Young-goon, a young woman working in a factory constructing radios and who believes herself to be a cyborg, is institutionalised after cutting her wrist and connecting it with a power cord  in an attempt to "recharge" herself, an act that is interpreted as a suicide attempt. Her delusion is characterised by refusing to eat, she instead licks batteries and attempts to administer electric shocks to herself.
Il-sun, a young male patient hospitalized for anti-social behaviour and kleptomania (stemming from schizophrenia), becomes fascinated with Young-goon; he is described as having "no sympathy" for his fellow man, believes he can "steal" other people's souls/attributes, and frequently wears handmade rabbit masks.
 Il-sun, now wracked with sympathy for Young-goon, hatches an elaborate plan to get Young-goon to eat, convincing her that he can install a food-to-electrical-energy conversion unit (a "rice-megatron", as he calls it) in her back. After eating her first meal at the hospital, she starts to confide her secrets, giving an explanation of her original behaviour. The two are now connected.

Seducing Mr Perfect (Korean Movie) Download






Seducing Mr. Perfect, alternatively known as Seducing Mr. Robin 
Released on December 7, 2006.
Written and directed by Sang-woo Kim 

Min-joon (Uhm Jung-hwa) is a believer in true love and always very dedicated to her current boyfriend. However, men always break up with her. Distracted by the latest break-up, she bumps into a car and a man steps out of it - who turns out to be her new boss, Robin Heiden (Daniel Henney). He has very clear ideas about a relationship and love: both are a game of power and Min-Joon seeks advice from him, as she doesn't want to get dumped again. However, when she starts to treat men like Heiden treats women, she realizes that she prefers her older behaviour, even if that means that she gets dumped again; she doesn't see love as a game of power and never will. Heiden, who has to deal with his own heartbreak, starts to soften at Min-joon's attitude towards life and he eventually falls in love with her.
One of the unique concepts of the movie is that Robin Heiden speaks only English because he finds Korean hard to speak, while Min-Joon speaks mostly in Korean. The two seem to understand each other perfectly without any outside translation. This was a new style of dialogue for Korean films, and it is partially credited for the film's success.
