‘SOO’ of SOO Film stands for ‘sense of originality’ as making a film can mean doing some creative work. In this regard, the name of the studio symbolizes its identity as a film production company. The first film by SOO Film is All For Love (2005) directed by MIN Kyu-dong. The omnibus film paints different love stories of seven couples. Its second film was The Wonder Years (2007). The film was well received by audiences as its female director explored the internal worlds of a mother and her daughter in the film with her delicate touches.  

 

The signature of SOO Film is characterized by well-written stories, sensitive visual beauty, and also attractive and unique characters. This is why SOO Film produced many omnibus films. Most of the films that show the characteristics of SOO Film are omnibus features. All For Love, Five Senses Of Eros (2009) and The Most Beautiful Goodbye (2011) were all made as omnibuses. An omnibus structure was also used for the Horror Stories series (2012 to 2013), Modern Family (2012) and Marriage Blue (2013). As omnibuses consist of multiple short stories with the same themes, SOO Film is oriented to stories with sophisticated structured.   

 

SOO Film also cinematized an original musical. They attempted to make a film version of the musical Finding Mr. Destiny in 2010. The project was called fresh since some Korean films were made into musicals but this film was the first musical-turned-film in Korea.   

 

This year, SOO Film marks its 10th anniversary. In Korea, dozens of film production companies shut down every year. This fact indicates that the film industry is a dog-eat-dog world. Accordingly, it is quite meaningful that SOO Film has survived for ten years and they have set out to develop a new project for their 10th anniversary. All About My Wife is a remake of the Argentine film A Boyfriend for My Wife (2008). The first Buenos Aires Korean Film Festival to be held on October 2nd selected the feature as its opening film.

 

Future films by SOO Film are also drawing high expectations. First, they will come in various genres. Secret Attraction (working title) is a suspense thriller while Brothers Were Brave (working title) is a human comedy and Working Girl (working title) is an erotic comedy. In particular, Working Girl is attracting attention since it is a remake of the Brazilian film Upside Down (2012). Upside Down is a funny sex comedy about adult products.

 

 “Working Girl is Korea’s first remake of a Brazilian film,” said MIN Jin-soo, CEO of SOO Film. “We will reinterpret the film for a Korean audience.” Its projects under development also include Airport Picnic, which depicts people stranded in an airport due to volcanic eruptions, and the romantic comedy Someday, about a process where a heartbroken man and woman heal themselves.
