The two verbally duke it out, with the younger woman scoring the equivalent of a KO when she points out that if Mal-soon's son is so wonderful, then why does he allow her to wear torn, worn-out shoes?
Meanwhile, Hyun-chul's wife, Ae-ja, develops a heart condition that's exasperated by her mother-in-law's nonstop nitpicking. When she ends up hospitalized, Ae-ja's doctor says that if she doesn't live a life filled with less stress, Hyun-chul will end up a widower.

Hyun-chul makes the difficult decision to send his mother to a nursing home, promising her that when Ae-ja's health recovers, they will bring her back home. (Sung Dong-il does a wonderful job playing Hyun-chul. It's hard to believe he's the same man in the "Answer Me" trilogy, where he is almost always screaming and/or joking around.)
And when she has a run-in with the daughter of a restaurant owner whose business was ruined when Mal-soon stole their best recipe, she loses all hope. As the younger woman berates and beats her, Mal-soon says, "Yes, I did that, but I did what I had to. I raised a good son who will always take care of me."
Depressed and feeling that she has been abandoned, she goes to a photographer's studio to get her funeral portrait taken. The kindly photographer promises to make her as beautiful as her idol, Audrey Hepburn. And sure enough, when she leaves the studio, Mal-soon has been transformed into a 20-year-old beauty (now played by Shim Eun-kyung).
She reinvents herself as Oh Doo-ri (Audrey. Get it?) and rents a room at the house where Mr. Park and his daughter live. This way, she can be close enough to the home where her family resides to keep tabs on them.
The combination of Doo-ri's beauty and frank manner of speaking makes her irresistible to a slew of men, including Mr. Park, her own grandson and a handsome TV show producer, Seung-woo, who hears her singing at the senior center.
One of the film's cutest scenes occurs when Ji-ha writes a well-received song. Doo-ri pats him on the butt, just as a grandma would to her young grandchild. To cover up her faux pas, she then pats all the band members' rears and says it's how she celebrates. From then on, that becomes their thing. They celebrate each milestone by slapping each other's butts.
Some of the film's best moments are the musical numbers. Shim sings all her own songs and she displays a pure, lovely voice that harkens back to a time when vocalists could sing beautifully without any, erm, assistance.
She sheds a tear at the end of the song. I will admit that when I watched this for the first time on Korean Air, I sobbed so much that other passengers looked worried for me. It wasn't just that the song told a full story, but that it's a story of unending hardship that many Koreans (and Korean diaspora) will recognize. (For more about this same era, read my review of "Ode to My Father.")
SPOILER ALERT: When Ji-ha is in a serious automobile accident, Oh Doo-ri does what most parents/grandparents would do: she gives up her life so that he will survive. In this case, she doesn't die, but she willingly gives up her youth to save his.
When her son realizes that Oh Mal-soon and Oh Doo-ri are the same person, Hyun-chul says he will make sure his son survives, but that now it's her time to live a happy life. He begs her to marry a man who won't die young and to have a grateful child who will treat her better than he has.
The film ends with a nice surprise for K-drama fans. Kim Soo-hyun, the star of the popular series "My Love from Another Star," makes a fun cameo appearance, ensuring that Mal-soon is indeed on her way to leading a happily-ever-after life.
This K-drama does a good job weaving together history along with fiction, and includes some fun meta moments. In the second episode, one of the Miss Joseon beauty contestants took the train from Busan to enter the pageant. After she wins, she turns into a yacha, or a demon that can only be satiated from human flesh and blood. Kind of like the zombies in ... "Train to Busan" and "All of Us Are Dead. " But in this case, only beautiful women make up these yacha.
"1938" isn't exactly subtle about the demonization of Imperial Japan, which colonized Korea during this period. The most frightening and brutal demons are the Japanese overlords, led by Kato Ryuhei (Ha Do-kwon of "The Penthouse" trilogy).
There is some romantic pining, but not for Yeon. He just wants to return to the modern world to see his beloved Ji-ah again. But back in 1938, his childhood friends (and fellow mountain Gods) are embroiled in unrequited love. Hong-joo (Kim So-yeon) is giddily and possessively obsessed with Yeon, while Moo-young (Ryu Kyung-soo) wants nothing more than to win Hong-joo's heart. Oh, and to revive his dead brother. (I could've done without this subplot, which dragged on and on and on.)
There are some plot inconsistencies. For instance, Yeon can move at the speed of light and attack dozens of mortals and demons without so much as getting a cut. So near the end of the show, when a series of explosives go off, why does he just stand there and wait for collateral damage instead of tossing them at Kato?
I started "Miss Granny" last night. From the minute she was on the screen, I knew I had seen her in something else. It drove me crazy. This morning I woke up and the first thing that popped into my head was "My Lovely Sam-Soon"! She was Jin-heon's mom! Wow! I've just watched the first episode, but I like it already. Thanks for reviewing it, it was not on my radar. You sure can pick 'em!
A huge hit in South Korea where it was filmed, \\\"Miss Granny\\\" doesn't have a particularly unique plot. But director Hwang Dong-hyuk (the mastermind behind \u201CSquid Game\u201D) deftly takes an old premise (an elderly woman finds herself magically transformed into a 20-year-old version of herself), adds some new twists, touches on some social commentary relevant to South Korea and creates a charming comedy full of music and scenes that will tug at your heart.
When we first meet Oh Mal-soon (Na Moon-hee), we see a cantankerous 70something who isn't pleasant to be around. She's horribly dismissive of her daughter-in-law and makes fun of her friends \u2014 including her long-suffering former servant, Mr. Park (Park In-hwan).
She saves her smiles and kindest words for her only child Hyun-chul (Sung Dong-il) \u2014 a well-respected professor at a top university \u2014 and she dotes on her grandson, Ji-ha (former B1A4 K-pop star Jinyoung), who is intent on becoming a musician, despite his parents' protests.
Mal-soon has a frenemy \u2014 a slightly younger woman at the senior center who flirts with Mr. Park and brags about her well-off son in America (a doctor) who has sent her a plane ticket to come visit him. When this kinda-sorta friend mistakenly orders a \\\"United States coffee\\\" instead of an Americana, Mal-soon takes great joy in pointing out the embarrassed woman's error.
Hyun-chul makes the difficult decision to send his mother to a nursing home, promising her that when Ae-ja's health recovers, they will bring her back home. (Sung Dong-il does a wonderful job playing Hyun-chul. It's hard to believe he's the same man in the \\\"Answer Me\\\" trilogy, where he is almost always screaming and/or joking around.)
And when she has a run-in with the daughter of a restaurant owner whose business was ruined when Mal-soon stole their best recipe, she loses all hope. As the younger woman berates and beats her, Mal-soon says, \\\"Yes, I did that, but I did what I had to. I raised a good son who will always take care of me.\\\"
There is a slight ick factor when Ji-ha initially flirts with her. But the way Doo-ri deals with it is hilarious, recalling to herself that his game is as clumsy as that of his grandfather \u2014 her deceased husband. Soon, the two take on a more sibling-like relationship, with Doo-ri joining Ji-ha's band and transforming it into an (almost) overnight sensation.
As for \u2193Seung-woo (Lee Jin-Wook), Doo-ri develops feelings for him. But when he says he has never met anyone like her before and is falling for her, I sense that he finds comfort in her old soul more than anything else. 152ee80cbc
