Romantic serendipity strikes twice for a passionate young couple but brings unforeseen complications in The Accidental Gangster and the Mistaken Courtesan, director Yeo Gyoon-dong's lavish, romantic crime drama. The time and place: 18th century Korea. In the year 1724 and the reign of the Joseon Dynasty, Chung-doong (Lee Jung-jae) grows instantly smitten with the beautiful gisaeng (Korean singer-dancer) Seol-ji (Kim Ok-bin), whom he meets amid a brawl in an ancient market. Although the lovers spend an unforgettable night together, they drift apart. But fate reunites them when Chung-doong rediscovers Seol-ji in a bar. Unfortunately, the reunion is bittersweet and comes with unexpected strings, with the young woman now tied to a shady manager, Man-deuk (Kim Suk-hoon), a fixture in the local criminal underworld. Though hung-Doong never planned to enter a life of crime, he finds himself inexorably drawn into a web of duplicity and lawbreaking when he accidentally knocks off the head of the local Jjak-gwi gang -- and his razor sharp fighting skills enable him to take the boss' place. His confidence brimming, Chung-Doong now concocts a plan to steal Seol-ji from the clutches of Man-deuk by causing a messy distraction amid a meeting of gang bosses in a local bar -- which in turn sets the stage for Man-deuk's elaborate revenge against the Jjak-gwis. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Untold Scandal director E J-yong returns to the helm to direct this campy adaptation of the popular internet comic concerning the sex-obsessed students of Useless High. When all the teens at Useless High except for the virginal Poor Girl (Kim Ok-bin) and one-eyed outcast Cyclops (Lee Kyeon) come to the realization that they have all caught syphilis from the same person, their bustling classroom quickly becomes a ghost town. A poverty-stricken teen whose mother (Im Hye-jin) is attempting to get rich by selling miniature pyramids, Poor Girl soon decides to sell her body in order to pay the bills. Her plan hits a hitch, however, when none of her potential clients seem particularly interested in sex. Though Poor Girl longs for a lasting commitment from well-to-do Swiss exchange student Anthony (Park Jin-woo), her romantic longings are soon torpedoed when Anthony falls for Cyclops' strangely attractive "sister" Two Eyes (Lee Eun-seong) who is, in reality, a man awaiting the day he can afford gender reassignment surgery. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
