On September 11, Well Go USA will open Korean body-hopping comedy
The Beauty Inside in limited markets in the USA and to prepare you, we've got an exclusive clip!
All relationships have issues, but Woo-jin's identity crisis is a new one - in fact, it's a new one every day.
Every morning, Woo-jin wakes up in a different body. His age, gender, and nationality may change, but the one constant in his life is Yi-soo - the woman he loves. She knows his secret, and loves him anyway. With every transformation, Woo-jin has to figure out how to return to his own body and reunite with Yi-soo.
The surprise sleeper hit of Cannes, The Beauty Inside is a body-hopping romantic comedy that asks the question - where does love begin?
Our Pierce Conran reviewed the film upon its Korean domestic release and was generally positive about the film, though not blown away. Still seems worth checking out, based on his conclusion:
The Beauty Inside comes out of the gate strong but when the love birds get together the fun of the concept is swapped out for treacly romance, forcing the narrative to slow to a crawl. Not without its moments, and always watchable, Baik's film is a handsome and relatively effective Korean melo, if ultimately too glib to connect to on an emotional level.
The Beauty Inside opens on limited screens next Friday, check the link below for listings.
