Kim Yong-hwa ({{Korean|hangul=김영화}}; born September 25, 1971) is a South Korean filmmaker. His works included Oh! Brothers (2003), 200 Pounds Beauty (2006), Take Off (2009) and Mr. Go (2013).

Career

Kim Yong-hwa majored in Film Studies at Chung-Ang University, but because of financial difficulties, it took him a decade to graduate. His graduation project in 1999 was the short film In the Jungle (titled "Salted Mackerel" in Korean), about two brothers (one of whom is a deaf-mute) taking care of a terminally ill mother, who are ordered to leave the hospital after they are late in paying the bills.{{cite web|title=In the Jungle|url=http://www.brooklynfilmfestival.org/films/detail.asp?fid=205|website=Brooklyn Film Festival|access-date=2015-05-21|archive-date=2016-03-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303231900/http://www.brooklynfilmfestival.org/films/detail.asp?fid=205|url-status=live}} In the Jungle won prizes at the 42nd Rochester International Film Festival and the 33rd Houston International Film Festival in 2000.{{cite web|title=KIM Yong-hwa|url=http://www.koreanfilm.or.kr/jsp/films/index/peopleView.jsp?peopleCd=10005151|website=Korean Film Biz Zone|access-date=2015-05-19|archive-date=2016-03-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160317192820/http://koreanfilm.or.kr/jsp/films/index/peopleView.jsp?peopleCd=10005151|url-status=live}}

For his feature directorial debut, Kim wrote and directed Oh! Brothers, a comedy about an amoral, debt-ridden private detective who upon his father's death learns he has a younger half-brother with progeria, played by Lee Jung-jae and Lee Beom-soo. Oh! Brothers was the sixth best-selling Korean film of 2003, with 3.2 million tickets sold.{{cite web|last=Elley|first=Derek|title=Review: Oh! Brothers|url=https://variety.com/2003/film/reviews/oh-brothers-1200537762/|website=Variety|access-date=2015-05-21|date=24 November 2003|archive-date=2015-12-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151208165155/http://variety.com/2003/film/reviews/oh-brothers-1200537762/|url-status=live}}

In 2006, Kim cast Kim Ah-joong in a star-making role as the protagonist of 200 Pounds Beauty (titled "It's Hard to Be a Beauty" in Korean), based on the Japanese manga Kanna's Big Success! by Yumiko Suzuki about an overweight ghost singer/phone sex operator who transforms her life after intensive plastic surgery and becomes a pop star. A romantic comedy as well as a satirical indictment of a hypocritical society that places too much value on appearance, the film's themes on beauty and self-esteem resonated with female Korean audiences, and 200 Pounds Beauty became a sleeper hit with 6.6 million admissions, making it the year's third best-selling domestic film.{{cite web|last=D'Sa|first=Nigel|title=200 Pounds Beauty Weighs in at the Box Office|url=http://www.koreanfilm.or.kr/jsp/news/news.jsp?mode=VIEW&seq=581|website=Korean Film Biz Zone|access-date=2015-05-19|date=6 February 2007|archive-date=2015-05-21|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150521164833/http://www.koreanfilm.or.kr/jsp/news/news.jsp?mode=VIEW&seq=581|url-status=live}} Kim won Best New Director at the 30th Golden Cinematography Awards in 2007, and received several nominations for directing and screenwriting.{{cite web|title=KIM Yong-Hwa - Awards|url=http://www.cinemasie.com/en/fiche/personne/kimyonghwa/recompenses.html|website=Cinemasie|access-date=2015-05-21|archive-date=2016-03-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304135107/http://www.cinemasie.com/en/fiche/personne/kimyonghwa/recompenses.html|url-status=live}}

Critics praised Kim for his smart, well-made commercial films, as well as for challenging the bias against physical disability and obesity in Korean society. Kim said, "Comedy starts off with pain. But is it really best to portray that pain in a painful way? If one has really experienced pain, and really gone to the depth of it, I doubt one will really put a raw edge on it. I am drawn to a movie that contains both joy and sadness, and at the same time remains simple and light. My answer to comedy is to include both 'a teardrop and a smile.'"{{cite web|last=Yang|first=Seong-hee|title=On the big screen, being thin still rules|url=http://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/article/Article.aspx?aid=2871589|website=Korea Joongang Daily|access-date=2015-05-19|date=25 January 2007|archive-date=2015-05-21|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150521180640/http://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/article/Article.aspx?aid=2871589|url-status=live}}

Kim next took on his most ambitious project to date with Mr. Go, which had a {{SK won|25 billion}} ({{USD|22.5 million}}) budget (one of the largest budgets in Korean cinema history), with {{USD|5 million}} funded by China-based Huayi Brothers.{{cite web|last=Jang|first=Sung-ran|title=Press Showcase for MR.
