Program Note
In 1998, Mi-so (Kim Da-mi) transfers to Jeju Island and meets Ha-eun (Jeon So-nee). Despite their very different personalities, they become intimate, as if each has met a soulmate. But even this seemingly perfect pair cannot avoid a fateful rift. A remake of Director Zeng Guoxiang’s SoulMate (2017), Soulmate retains the charm of the original but shines with subtly different colors. Director Min Yong-keun builds a solid female narrative, focusing less on the love triangle and more on Mi-so and Ha-eun’s fate. Like the original, where the actors stood out, Soulmate naturally creates situations that allow Kim Da-mi and Jeon So-nee to showcase their charms to the fullest. The camera captures nuanced emotions that are difficult to convey in a few words, and the connection between the two women through the medium of painting blossoms into a connection that goes beyond words. (SONG Kyung-won)
