He also has to deal with his boss Byeong Hoon (Jin Sun Kyu), a narcissist with lofty ambitions.

This mundane life changes very quickly for Chi Ho, however, when he meets single mom Il Young (Kim Hee Sun). He falls in love at first sight… Il Young is also in her 40s, and has all but given up on the idea of finding love again. But as she begins to spend more time with Chi Ho, she begins to realize that beneath his nerdy exterior is a heart of gold!

The Night Owl (Dubbed)

The year is 1940, and the Korean Peninsula is still under the colonial rule of Imperial Japan.

The Imperial Japanese are on the verge of what will soon be their undoing – their involvement in World War II. But even as the nation prepares for war, the colonial government is doing its utmost in its colony to stamp out the Korean language. Its goal is to promote the Japanese language and culture at all costs.

Against this backdrop, a group of people forms an unlikely alliance. Their aim is to produce a Korean language dictionary – an act of defiance and patriotism that could well see them land in very hot water with the colonial government.

This group is led by an erudite young scholar named Ryu Jeong Hwan (Yoon Kye Sang) and Kim Pan Su (Yoo Hae Jin), an illiterate, middle-aged petty thief.

Together with the rest of the group, the duo attempts to do the unthinkable – complete and publish a vital reference book that could help restore national pride in a language that has been placed under existential threat.

This film was partly based on a true story.

⚘ The Dandelion Society Team ⚘

In the 1920’s, Japanese military forces in Manchuria, China hunted down a handful of Korean liberation fighters willing to risk their lives to bring an end to the Japanese rule of Korea. Tasked with the mission to deliver funds to the Korean Provisional Government in Shanghai, Hwang Hae Cheol (Yoo Hae Jin) and a small band of subordinates set out at once. But the road ahead is anything but easy.

Relying heavily on his skill as a master swordsman and the sharp eye of Ma Byung Gu (Jo Woo Jin), a sniper under his command, Hae Cheol and his troop make their way towards Shanghai. Along the way, Hae Cheol is reunited with Lee Jang Ha (Ryu Jun Yeol), a young squad commander who is currently on a deadly mission of his own: to bait a battalion of Japanese forces into a valley near Fengwudong.

Teaming up, this rag-tag group of militiamen take on the Japanese forces in a fierce four-day battle that would go down in history as one of the most glorious moments in Korea’s fight for independence from Japan.
