Chil-su And Man-su
''Chilsu and Mansu'' () is a 1988 South Korean film, and noted director Park Kwang-su's debut film. Though not a box-office hit (only attracting 73,751 people in theatres), the film is remembered as a major step towards freedom of expression in South Korean cinema. ''Chilsu and Mansu'' was the directorial debut of Park Kwang-su, who went on to become not only an accomplished director in his own right, but an influential role model for a new generation of socially conscious filmmakers. The film is one of the most memorable performances of two famous veteran actors, Ahn Sung-ki and Park Joong-hoon. The easy and convincing onscreen camaraderie shown by the two men foreshadowed their being cast together again in the hit comedy ''Two Cops'' (1993) and the action/art film '' Nowhere to Hide'' (1999). Bae Jong-ok, who plays Chil-su's girlfriend, continues to make her mark on contemporary cinema, taking on an acclaimed role in the award-winning ''Jealousy Is My Middle Name'' (2003). Backg ...
