Second Source for the research paper

Second source I would be using is a movie by Kim Jee Won Called "A Bitter Sweet life". So now I have definitely decided that I would only focus on Kim Jee Won instead of also looking at Bong Jun Ho's film. Though I think they works are somewhat similar and successfully show korean style of melodramas, focusing only on Kim Jee Won's films would give more specific descriptions about korean melodramas. So for the second source I choose "A Bitter Sweet Life" which is one of his most well-known work. Though this films mainly consists of violent materials, the story line revolves around the basic melodramatic love line. Combination of violence and love story comes into place many times within Kim Jee Won's film. This source is useful because this film is one of Kim Jee Won's finest and most well known piece. This film brought his name up to the surface of film industry in korea. By citing this film, it helps me to give better examples of the characteristics of korean melodramas. These films are fundamental parts of my argument. This film, with other films by Kim, really shows his style of representing korean melodrama into the film.
