Our Happy Time(2006) - Kang Dong Wan & Lee Na Young
Feb 18th, 2007 | By andy | Category: Movie
“Maundy Thursday†is the latest outing for Song Hae Sung, a director known for affecting dramas such as “Rikidozan†and the excellent “Failanâ€. Based upon a famous novel by Korean writer Kong Ji Young, “Maundy Thursday†(aka “Our Happy Timeâ€) sees the director taking on potentially his most emotionally complicated story yet, that of two suicidal and deeply damaged people who slowly find in each other reasons to live, with the tragic twist being that one of them just happens to be a prisoner on death row. As doomed romances go, this one at least offers a twist on the usual terminal illness scenario, and allows Song to delve beyond the sentimental surface and into issues of the morality of capital punishment, forgiveness, and most importantly, acceptance.
