Post Description

Cha Seung Won (The Big Scene, Blood Rain) stars as Seon Ho, a horn player for Pyongyang's state propaganda band who lives an affluent and privileged life in sharp contrast to many of his fellow North Koreans. He is from a good family and has a beautiful fiancee, museum guide Yeon Hwa (Jo Yi Jin from The Aggressives). However, when it is revealed that Seon Ho's grandfather is not the dead, revered Communist hero that everybody thought he was, but is in fact living in exile in Seoul, the family is forced to flee to the South. Seon Ho is unable to take his beloved Yeon Hwa with him, and so begins his struggle to bring her across the border to join him.

The film has been praised for its realistic portrayal of life, not only in North Korea, but also as an immigrant in Seoul. Over The Border plays as both an informative expose into this oft-neglected angle of the North/South divide, as well as a romantic melodrama of two lovers torn apart by powers beyond their control.
