This Week's New Movies

Let's get a check of what's playing in movie theatres across Korea this week.
We have two domestic productions both of them touching dramas.
There's also a comedy from the U.S, and a real-life thriller from Australia.
Here's Son Heekyung.

Two heartwarming Korean films, perfect for the autumn season, are out this week.
First up is "Trace of Love" by director Kim Dae-seung.
The film's a melodrama based on the true story of a department store collapse in Seoul that killed more than 500 people in 1995.
The story is about a man who loses his fiancee in the accident, one month before their wedding.
Ten years after the death of his fiancee, the man takes a trip using the travel diary of his deceased lover as a guide.
He eventually meets a woman who helps soothe his pain.

Next up is "Hearty Paws". ("Heart is....)
An eleven-year-Oldboy steals a dog to give to his younger sister on her birthday.
She loves the dog and names it "Maumy".
They all live together in harmony, but something unexpected separates the boy and the dog.
It's rare for a domestic film to have a dog as a main character.

"The Devil Wears Prada" is ranked first in this week's online ticket sales.
The comedy-drama is an adaptation of a 2003 novel of the same title.
Female university graduate Andrea gets a job as an assistant to a powerful fashion magazine editor.
Andrea is in for a rough ride as she knows nothing about the fashion industry seeing the job only as her opportunity to get into journalism.
Meryl Streep plays the editor who terrorizes everyone around her.

Last up is a thriller based on a true event.
It's the Australian movie "Wolf Creek".
Two British tourists and an Australian set out for a holiday hike through the scenic Wolf Creek National Park in the Australian Outback.
Their car stalls and a bushman offers to fix it, but the three hikers soon find out that the bushman has more grisly plans for the trio.
