About This DVD
The young Nae-mo, played by Kim Kwan-woo, is the only son of a single mother who
runs a watch repair shop in a small town. He loves singing the popular songs of
the 1980s and looks cheerful, but wonders why he isn't allowed to know about his
father whom he never met. Nae-mo is indeed an interesting character. Since he
has an unmarried mother and thinks he understands the loneliness of his mother,
Nae-mo decides to marry an unmarried mom in the future.
His life suddenly takes a drastic turn when his mother commits suicide out of
despair and sorrow. Nae-mo is now living alone, managing his own household alone
(don't ask why and how a young boy is left alone in the empty house instead of
being sent off to an orphanage since this is, well, a pure-play fantasy). Where
there was his mother's watch store, a comic book rental shop comes in - along
with its female owner named Buja who turns out to be an unmarried mother.
Nae-mo instantly falls for Bu-ja since she is the dream-come-true woman for his
life. Not only is she an unmarried mother with a son who's younger than Nae-mo,
Bu-ja is also a sexually attractive and sensuously irresistible lady. The
transformation happens at a movie theater (which is a symbolic place as it's the
center of boyhood fantasy). When a fire breaks out at the theater, Nae-mo stays
inside to rescue Bu-ja's son and somehow he dies instead.
Or so he thinks. It turns out that a death messenger get things mixed up and
Nae-mo's real father also plays a role mysteriously to resurrect Nae-mo. The
catch is that his life restarts at the age of 33 (body only) and his age
advances quite rapidly (one day in his new life is a year passed). He is
supposed to live until 93, and that's 60 more years, but thanks to the pact with
the death messenger, it translates into just 60 more days.
The 33-year-old Nae-mo, who is now played by Park Hae-il, pretends to be his own
father since nobody believes he's the young boy in a grown-up's body. And his
quest for marrying the unmarried mother Bu-ja gains momentum.
In all fairness, Kim Kwan-woo's acting as the young Nae-mo is impressive and
believable. Park Hae-il, one of Korea's top-rated actors, is also true to form
and fame. Director Yoon emphasized the film is designed as a fantasy tale for
adults, meaning that you are not allowed to ask too many questions. Given that
actor Park is dubbed "Korea's Tom Hanks" in the film's official PR brochure,
director Yun seems to hope that "Boy, Goes to Heaven" would emulate The Classic
body-swap comedy "Big." But that is just a big fantasy.
