Program Note
Seo-hee, Nam-hee and Lan. These three girls happen to read their tarot cards. Tarot cards tell them once-in-a-life-time opportunities will be coming to each of them simply by holding tarot cards and chanting magic spells. And the magic spells are nothing but their own names! Once their names are said, very special events begin to unfold. There is something special about [Be with Me]. It is not perfect, but it has a value that big budgeted commercial films can’t ever have: freshness. Watching this film makes me feel like eating an apple just picked off from a tree. Unfortunately, there are not many independent genre films in Korea. Considering that, we are more than happy to introduce [Be with Me] on ‘Midnight Passion’ expecting more films like this one will be produced in near future.
