Audiences may as well call actress Kim Hae-sook Everymom. In her many appearances in hit television shows and films, she often plays the role of an affectionate model Korean mother. Even fans in Japan know Kim for her maternal roles.
In "Viva! Love", a film that is scheduled for release next week, Kim, 53, reprises her mother role as Oh Bong-soon. But this time, she won't be sidelined as a supporting character: Kim's the lead in this bizarre romantic comedy.
Oh's life as a landlady isn't easy, but in the midst of her hard work, she manages to fall in love with one of her tenants. Problem is, Oh's property is a students' boarding house and her lover is in his 20s ? and he almost becomes her son-in-law. Anyone else hearing the faint tune of Simon and Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson"?
The film was a challenge for Kim. It wasn't easy trying to play a 50-year-old woman in love.
A woman runs a lodging house lives with her good-for-nothing husband, and unemployed daughter, Jeong-yoon. Jeong-yoon is in a relationship with Gu-sang, a tenant who runs a neighborhood Laundromat. When Jeong-yoon lands a job, she runs away, abandoning Gu-sang who is crushed. Jeong-yoon?s mother encounters the heartbroken Gu-sang, consoling himself with alcohol, and taking pity on him, she takes him home. One thing leads to another, and the two make love. The landlady ends up pregnant with Gu-sang?s baby. Even with the neighbors in shock, the landlady holds on to her new love fervently.
