South Korea’s Muju County wants to host the 2002 Winter Olympics, but fears the bid will end in failure if the country does not have a national ski jumping team. The hopeful Coach Bang (Sung Dong Il) intervenes, cobbling together a team reluctantly led by Bob (Ha Jung Woo), a Korean-American alpine skier and adoptee who is looking for his birth mother. The coach also recruits the ex-drug addict Choi Hong Cheol (Kim Dong Wook), restaurant worker Ma Jae Bok (Choi Jae Hwan), and caretaker Kang Chil Gu (Kim Ji Seok). Can this motley crew make its country proud by qualifying for the World Cup – and help secure the Olympic bid? This 2009 South Korean movie was directed by Kim Yong Hwa.

Sung Han Mo (Song Kang Ho) is an ordinary barber and friendly neighbor. Although his shop is located in the same neighborhood as the Blue House, the Korean president's residence, Han Mo is largely uninterested in politics, more concerned with his wife and newborn son – he hardly notices the turmoil that unfolds in the 1960s after General Park Chung Hee takes over the country following President Syngman Rhee's resignation. However, Han Mo's politically ignorant life takes a sharp turn when he accidentally helps catch a spy in his barbershop, leading to his appointment as the president's official barber. This 2004 Korean movie was directed by Im Chan Sang.
