Two stylish horror/thrillers by Korean director Kim Ji-Woon. 'A Tale of Two Sisters' (2003) is based on the old Korean folk tale 'Jangha and Hongryun'. Su-Mi (Im Soo-Jung) and Su-Yeon (Moon Geun-Young) return home from a period of hospitalisation in a mental institution following the death of their mother to live with their father, Mu-Heon (Kim Kab-Su) and despised stepmother Eun-Ju (Yeom Jeong-A). No sooner have they returned than disturbing and inexplicable events start to occur: inanimate objects start to move of their own accord, and Su-Mi suffers from terrifying hallucinations, becoming convinced that the obsessive and unhinged Eun-Ju is keeping an awful secret from her and her sister. In 'A Bittersweet Life' (2005), hotel manager Sunwoo (Lee Byung-hun) also happens to be the right-hand man of underworld crime boss Kang (Kim Yeong-cheol). When Kang begins to suspect his young girlfriend is being unfaithful, he orders Sunwoo to deal with her, but when Sunwoo finds her in bed with another man, he uncharacteristically grants them mercy. Stung at Sunwoo's betrayal, Kang orders his henchmen to hunt Sunwoo down and kill him, but Sunwoo is not ready to give up without a violent fight.
