 A new style of love
"Holiday in Seoul" depicts the thirst and desire for love that young people have while living in Seoul, a city gradually losing its warmth. Like a music video, neat and dynamic images with melodic music, along with a well-woven drama harmonize together to present romantic yet powerful visual sensitivity.
Distinctive characters
A bellboy who always has to be friendly towards guests while maintaining a distance, a leg model who has only her shapely legs to live off of, a cabbie who endlessly floats around the city looking for passengers, and a telephone operator who connects people through the telephone - to these four, there is no planned meeting or love and no anticipated outcome. They are always longing for something, therefore, they are lonely and isolated. The various sides of love they come to create leave behind a unique aftertaste.
A youthful film with youthful sensitivity
Youthful sensitivity is evident on the screen. Through dynamic music video style framework, diversified angles, and candid camera style cinematography, the image of Seoul is new and fresh. The details of the characters are vividly alive.
He is a bellboy at the hotel, 'Holiday in Seoul.' Having been dumped recently, he falls in love with a leg model with sensual legs, a regular at the hotel. Looking at her legs, he can predict everything about her, from her personality, hobbies, favorite foods, to even her style of making love. Sometimes, she orders breakfast by room service. Her morning face is pure and fresh. Sometimes, she has him fix her shoes and if he is lucky, he sees her in the elevator.
Her profession is a leg model.
She and her lover meet regularly in the hotel room, 901. There is no need for much talk with him. It is because his warmth lets her rest when she is tired. One day, her lover is in a hit-and-run accident and is killed. The bellboy also finds this out by reading a newspaper. Now when he thinks he will never see her again, she reappears. With a mysterious smile, she reserves room 901, just like before
She is a hotel telephone operator who wishes to quickly use up her life.
To her, the telephone is an important means of communication.
He is a cabbie who rides a Harley Davidson.
Suffering from insomnia, he aimlessly races along the city night. When she gets in his cab, she does not tell him where to go. He does not ask, either. They just speed along.
The man she loves is a telephone wholesaler.
A married man, he avoids secret meetings with her. However, she needs him. There is something fatherly about him. The cabbie silently loves her. She gives the cabbie the cell phone she treasures and then disappears. "Keep it, I'll call you." Now the cabbie waits for her as he speeds along the city.
