Had the dvd given to me for my birthday, I rate this along side of movies like "Okurobito", "Always", and "Sweet Rain". Touching, sensitive and well filmed with a very good soundtrack.Seemed to start slowly but before I knew it I was hooked , this is a 5 star classic from South Korea.

I just watched this movie at the Palm Springs International Film Festival and it was one of the best movies I've ever seen. Me and 2 friends went and were so moved by the acting, the storyline, the photography, everything. Bravo.

Hello to Miss. Lee Yo Woon. I don't know why, but I attracted too much to Lee Yoo Wom, maybe to her charismatic face. I can't wait to watch your movie. I hope your movie will be succeeded.!!! Thank You!!!!!

Watched the world premiere of "The Recipe" at the Pusan International Film Festival. I came away disappointed with the film. The movie jumps a lot of genres and makes the story a lot more convoluted than necessary. I enjoyed the initial storyline with the fabled "Doenjan Stew" and the mysterious persona of the character played by Lee Yo-Won. Maybe after 30 minutes the movie goes down quite a few different paths and, for me at least goes, downhill. I guess to be witty I can say "The Recipe" contained way to many ingredients - ruining a perfectly a good soup base. On the flipside someone from Variety gave the movie a rave review.
Also after the screening Lee Yo-Won, Ryoo Seung-Ryong, and movie director appeared for a Q&A. Producer & screenwriter for "The Recipe" Jang Jin also came on the stage briefly towards the end session. Lee Yo-Won did look great in person and made sitting through the unnecessarily convoluted movie worth it.
