SYNOPSIS:
This touching film that is based on a novel by a well-known author and was released in the end of the 90's offers you the premier work of Park Jung-woo who was responsible for the scripts of such film hits as "Jail Breakers" & "Attack the Gas Station". Its tale revolves around Poongshik whose favorite hobby is dancing, but who has to face a society that has a very low opinion of the relevant activity. After he goes so far as to attract the attention of the police department's head, a female detective called Yeonhwa is asked to start an investigation into this matter, so as to put Poongshik behind bars. However, once Yeonhwa finds out more about Poongshik she seems to have forgotten all about her original task and asks him to show her how to dance …

REVIEW:
" Dance With the Wind, adapted from a 1999 book by acclaimed novelist Ji Seong-sa, tells the story of a man named Poongshik who, having fallen in love with dancing, plunges headfirst into this unseemly world. Torn between his idea of dance as art and a society that won't accept such ideals, Poongshik ends up dragged deeper and deeper (willingly or unwillingly) into a corrupt world he never intended to inhabit. However after he seduces the police chief's wife, a female detective named Yeonhwa is assigned to go undercover to collect evidence against Poongshik that will lead to his arrest. After the two get to know each other, Yeonhwa asks Poongshik to teach her how to dance.
Dance With the Wind is the directorial debut of Park Jung-woo, who probably ranks as Korea's most famous screenwriter. The man behind such famous stories as Attack the Gas Station, Last Present, Kick the Moon, Break Out and Jail Breakers takes a departure from the slapstick comedy of his previous works to present a nuanced and funny account of a self-proclaimed artist who will never be recognized as such. Park shows a particularly fine grasp for comic details, and watching this film makes you look forward to seeing what kind of projects he will go on to direct in the future.
Popular actor Lee Sung-jae portrays Poongshik as being both suave and passionate about his art, though perhaps a bit naive. He appears together with debut actress Park Sol-mi (who appeared in the TV dramas All-In and Winter Sonata) and everyone's favorite supporting actor Kim Soo-ro, who brings quite a few priceless moments to the film. Actresses Lee Kan-hee and Moon Jeong-hee are also quite memorable as two of Poongshik's many dance partners. Most impressive, though, is how good everyone looks while dancing. Aside from one minor character (the young woman at Poongshik's first dance school), none of the cast members are professional dancers, but four months of intensive training prior to shooting has resulted in some fabulous-looking moves.
With a few notable exceptions such as Singles and Once Upon a Time in a Battlefield, last year it seemed that Korean comedies had fallen into a rut. So far, 2004 has been more successful in moving away from the formulaic slapstick/funny-accent comedies to give us something a bit new. Cheers to the people behind Dance With the Wind for giving us a stylish, sexy and enjoyable film. "
