< Do you want to watch a movie? come to 오! 재미동 >


For those who loves watching movies, come to Chungmuro충무로! 

Chungmuro refers to an avenue 1.75 km in length and 10∼20m in width and the area nearby the street, located in Jung-gu, central Seoul of South Korea. Since the 1960s, Chungmuro has been known as the street of culture, artists, and film industry. Dansungsa, the first movie theaters of Korea is also situated in the area. Since the establishment in 1907, the theater has been in today near Jongno 3-ga Station. Chungmuro was named after Chungmugong, the posthumous title of Korean Admiral Yi Sun-shin, which means "martial subject of loyalty." The last syllable "ro" refers to road in Korean.

There is a hidden spot inside the metro station where they rent DVDs for free. It is called Oh! Jaemi Dong, Chungmuro Media Center.

It was screened in the Special Presentation section at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival.The main character recovers his memory of the past, the traumatic one which made him to shut his mouth for the rest of his life but just to play the piano pretty good. He finds the memory of his parents  and the missing pieces of his moment of happiness, that his parent did not just disappeared and that he was not alone.
