A fish-out-of-water gangster comedy featuring two of Korea's hottest young stars, Gamunui Yeonggwang (aka Marrying the Mafia) weaves a humorous tale of chance meeting and bizarre circumstance. Waking up one morning next to the beautiful Jang Jin-kyeong (Kim Jeong-eun) without any recollection of how he got there, hotshot young lawyer Park Dae-seo (Jeong Jun-ho) learns to his horror that his newfound bedmate is the daughter of a notorious mob kingpin (Park Geun-hyeong). As her protective older brother In-tae (Yu Dong-geun) insists that Park marry Jang in order to maintain his honor, it's soon revealed that In-tae has schemed to improve his family name by forcing the up-and-coming lawyer to marry his sister. Though the new couple seems to get along regardless of their odd circumstances, their romance is quickly challenged by Park's longtime girlfriend, Yu-jin (Lee Seo-yeon), who has no intentions of letting her man go so easily. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Korean filmmaker Moh Ji-eun makes her feature film debut with the 2002 romantic comedy A Perfect Match, a tale about a matchmaker at a dating service who could use a bit of matchmaking in her own personal life. Kim Hyo-jin (Shin Eun-gyeong) is an extremely gifted matchmaker whose 100% success rate is simply mind-boggling. Unfortunately, Hyo-jin's own relationship is an entirely different matter; her own boyfriend tends to prefer hanging out with his friends than spending time with her. Meanwhile, Hyo-jin discovers that one of her male clients, Park Hyeon-su (Jeong Jun-ho) is nearing the end of his 12 allotted dates without a successful match having taken place. However, when the two accidentally meet away from Hyo-jin's office, Hyo-jin finds she wants to learn a little more about her client in a nonprofessional sense. The film's original title, Joheun Saram Isseumyeon Jogae Shikyeojweo, roughly translates to English as "If you know someone nice, please introduce me." ~ Ryan Shriver, All Movie Guide
