It was a box office failure, but "Late Autumn" was good. I like those kind of calm movies. But they started going off the rails once they suddenly began touching historical dramas.

‌He wasn't a box office director.
I don't know how he became successful, but he wasn't a box office director.
Christmas in August
One Fine Spring Day
They were good.
After "Late Autumn," he gave up on calm melos
and suddenly started struggling to become a box office director by touching historical dramas.
What do they call it when someone suddenly starts doing something they've never done before?
After "The Last Princess" hit 5 million, he lost his mind. lol
"Bae Yong-joon's Outing" was a huge hit in Japan.
Im Soo-jung's "Happy End" is one of my all-time favorite movies.
"The Last Princess" was the problem. He got a taste for money.
