Internationally renowned Korean director Park Kwang Su made his directorial debut in 1988 with the highly acclaimed Chilsoo and Mansoo, considered by many to be the pioneering film of the Korean New Wave. The film pairs for the first time acclaimed actors Ahn Sung Ki and Park Joong Hoon, who would later go on to collaborate in Nowhere to Hide and Radio Star. This landmark work vividly portrays the lives and attitudes of the younger generation during South Korea’s pre-democratization era. Chilsoo and Mansoo has won many awards, including Best New Director and Best Screenplay at the 27th Daejong Awards, Best New Director at the 25th Baeksang Awards, and Best Actor for Park Joong Hoon at the 9th Film Critics Award.

Chilsoo (Park Joong Hoon ) quits his job as a theater sign painter when his sister, whose fiance is an American soldier, offers to help him migrate to the States. While waiting, he begins work as an assistant for Mansoo (Ahn Sung Ki), whose father is a political prisoner. While Mansoo suffers from the shame of his father’s imprisonment, Chilsoo loses contact with his sister and even gets dumped by his girlfriend Jina (Bae Chong Ok). Partners in misery, these two lost young men pace frantically around the huge billboard they have just finished. From below, their raving and raging is interpreted as a suicide attempt, and soon they not only earn themselves an audience, even the police spur into action.
