EXCEPTIONAL, AUTHENTIC, HEARTWARMING PEOPLE
A show of rawness, kindness, loving and caring to impossible heights. Authentic people, families, workers, sharing and giving of themselves, in a community of innocence. Grandmothers, with so much history and life stories; kids, grandkids, neighbors watching and protecting the habitat. A true show of Reality. It was the grandmothers, especially Ms Ja; the three friends: Seon Hee, Da In, Ji Hee, and of course, the Barber Shop “Uncles”/“Brothers”, who stole my heart. I grew quite fond of the actors: Bo Gum, a known sex-symbol, Sang Yi, unknown to me, although I’d seen his work, and Dong-Yeon, a great young actor—all displayed honor, respect, patience, and went the extra mile. They seemingly forgot the cameras and were just caring human beings. No vanity, no superiority, just commonplace authentic selves and generosity. Sang Yi and Mrs Ja! Her tenacity for hard work and learning was astounding! This is a show of admiration. The ramp without railings was unnerving and the fee to the soldier had me scratching my head, but overall, a very enjoyable show of laughter, sadness, growth in competence, skills sets, and cultural awareness.
