Directed by Jang Moon-il.

Might strike a chord with those looking to enter the working world.
Or anyone at a crossroads, or a chance to head towards one.

What is the right choice?

Sometimes, you don't have to think about it.

SOmetimes you will your way to your destination,

sometimes you are handed a path,
and understanding your abilities help make the choice clear.

Or you could not be bothered,
and settle down,
and in the process discover you have what it takes,
or find a branching out path.

An odd little comedy
about death and the people who have to deal with it.

At times funny and touching,
interesting treat for anyone tired of
standard brand of comedy.

After a close brush with death,
Cheol Ku (Kim Chang-Wan) decides to try his hand at
working at the funeral parlor of a small town.

He's joined in his new job by two others.
Jaehyon (Lim Chang-Jung) has reluctantly joined
his grandfather (the happy director) in the funeral business

after racking up debts in Seoul,
where he'd like to go back to open a video arcade.

Daesik (Jeong Eun-Pyo) is a young townsperson
who's working for the grandfather almost by default,

because he has nothing better to do.

The three of them are social misfits,
and working at the funeral parlor is an uncertain prospect at best,

because of the slow business
and because of their natures and desires.

the three would-be funeral parlor workers,
don't seem to have a lot in common.

They have conversations of no importance,
but which are frequently amusing, wry and charming.

If they're not sitting with nothing to do
, they're at the funeral parlor watching
violent Hong Kong movies and wondering why Korea
couldn't ease up just a little on its strict gun laws,
so as to finally provide them some clients.

A lot of the humor comes from
the dark comedy of hoping for business,
trying to learn the trade (usually practicing on each other),
and trying to deal with their sexual frustrations.

The best humor, comes from the main characters themselves
as they kill time.

There's a charming familiarity about the scenes
when the characters aren't really doing anything at all.

Sometimes they have to race
a rival funeral parlor to the scene of a death
eventually getting to deal with some corpses
to secure the job.

Kim Chang-Wan,
a composer turned actor,
puts in a strong performance
pleasant surprise from Korea's cinematic renaissance.
