Summary
This DVD presents the film in anamorphic widescreen (1.85:1) with Korean Dolby Digital 2.0 (Pro-Logic) soundtrack and defeatable English subtitle. The extras include American theatrical trailer, and trailers for few other foreign films.While the DVD's color saturation is satisfactory, the detail is lacking and digital artifacts are apparent. It's certainly serviceable, but Il-sung Jung's cinematography deserves better.As for the film itself, the acting is a bit smug and Pansori narrative-style (a Korean chant) disrupts the flow from time-to-time. However, there is still much to recommend it. The story has "Cinderalla meets Romeo and Juliet" flavor to it, and the film makes a good introduction to *traditional* Korean culture. And of course, Hyo-jeong Lee as Chunhyang is beautiful.P.S. I am a Korean guy and the film does not reflect modern Korean culture. Yes, South Korea is still (unfortunately) male-dominated, but not to the extent as presented in the film. Be open-minded when watching this film.
