Program Note

A father wakes up his sleeping son and requests something weird, holding out an envelope containing one million won. In The Favor, family relationships indicating unconditional love are cleverly explored.

Program Note

A father asks his son to pretend the dress found by his wife belongs to him. The son is annoyed by this embarrassing request, but then the mood changes. The director orchestrates the momentary streams of emotions and turns the film into a funny, yet touching drama, which is hard to do. (Rhana JANG)
