Mānoa Campus, Center for Korean Studies Add to Calendar

The Center for Korean Studies spring 2016 film series, "Divided Images," concludes with My Mother, The Mermaid (인어공주), a 2004 feature starring Jeon Do-yeon. Synopsis: Na-yŏng is tired of living with her relentless mom and her dad, who is too naive. One day, her dad suddenly disappears, and Na-yŏng decides to go to her parents’ hometown on an island to find him. To Na-yŏng’s surprise, her mom, Yŏn-sun, appears in front of her as a twenty-year-old haenyŏ. Her energetic attitude is the same, but the incomparably purer and more innocent version of Yŏn-sun is undeniably lovely. However, Yŏn-sun has fallen for the village mailman, Chin-guk, and he cannot hide his feelings toward her either.
