Co-written and directed by David Chou, I liked the Korean/French production of "Return to Seoul" for some very good cinematography although sometimes perplexing and juvenile behaivior of its lead 'Freddy' played well by Park Ji-Min was less than interesting. Still the years going by was an interesting add-on generating distance through time. There seems to be a common refrain I've read of in which adoptive children often have a building of desire to meet their biological parent(s). This is something for which a majority of people probably feel foreign - they are not adopted for starters. How do children who are adopted feel, and what factors in to their psychology and drive based on - perhaps as easy as knowing where you came from? For Chou, and other writers, their Freddy character states that she's happy or contect a couple times but her face betrays her words. Park Ji-Min successfully shows Freddy's torment well, and Freddy seems to lash out on occasion in her own personal relationships and friendships. I liked the melancholy state of affairs, though the pacing of the movie seemed to suffer from time-to-time 7/10.
