Features :
Melodrama may be the bread-and-butter genre in Korean cinema, but Park Jin-Pyo's You Are My Sunshine is anything but typical in this respect. Films and television dramas that abound in emotional excess are often critically derided, yet this 2005 film was nominated for Best Picture and several other honors at the 26th Blue Dragon Awards and even earned the director and the film's lead actor top prizes in their individual categories. On paper, You Are My Sunshine certainly seems to share most of the ingredients of a conventional melodrama, so what could possibly make it so special? |
