Today’s episode takes a gentler turn as we look at Christmas in August, the quietly acclaimed debut of Hur Jin-ho. Known for its stillness and emotional restraint, it became an early milestone of late-90s Korean cinema and helped cement Han Suk-kyu and Shim Eun-ha as iconic leads. With Kenny B and Korean cinema expert Paul Quinn.
