      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Tae-suk (Jae Hee) is a young man who makes himself at home in strangers' houses while they're away. One day he wanders into the home of a beautiful woman who happens to be home at the time. After discovering that Sun-hwa (Seung-yeon) is a battered wife, Tae-suk comes to her resuce with the aid of her husband's "3-Iron" and some golf balls. Soon after, the two ride off into the night and on to the beginning of an unusual relationship. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture looks quite pleasing, with a well-balanced color scheme. Images are sharp and nicely detailed, with natural shadow delineation and contrast. Some dirt is noticed in the source element. Pixelization is minimal, although occasional edge halos are noticed. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Korean language Dolby

    Reason #20 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I am very interested in new inventions and expanding technology in products today. Also, I like to be able to look at the products and dream about owning some of them someday. I am a poor college student, so even though I can't always afford new things, I like to look and know about what's new out there.
