Outside of indie cinema, actors directing themselves in leading roles are quite rare in Korean films, making Ha Jung-woo’s Chronicle of a Blood Merchant something of an oddity.

New Korean Films: Love is Overdue (2015 Week 2)
Love Forecast
(오늘의 연애)
Jun-su was once a young man who had just fallen in love with Hyeon-wu. They started to date, but he couldn’t work up the nerve to confess his love. His feelings have been stuck in his mind for a long time… Like, for a very long time. Eighteen years later, Jun-su now has a job as an elementary school teacher, but he still cannot make his relationships last longer than a few months. Part of the reason is that he still sees Hyeon-wu every day; they have meals together, go to the movies, hold hands, always rely on each other and even know the door codes of each other’s apartment. While Hyeon-wu’s rising popularity as a weathercaster makes her surrounded with suitors, Jun-su wishes to get out of the so-called “friend zone” and make his move.
