KMazing – The abundance production throughout the movie industry in South Korea have quite side effect. I personally see this every year where there are superbly done movie with distinguished plot and exceptional cinematography didn’t quite get the attention that it deserved to. The year of 2016 and 2017 is also no exception in this, but KMazing team have been gathering some titles that in our opinion deserves more recognition from the public.

5. Coffe Mate

The film premiered at the Busan International Film Festival in 2006 and was released to the public on March 1, 2017. Yoon Jin-seo plays the role of In-young, a housewife who spends much of her time in the coffee shop. There she meets a carpenter named Hee-soo (played by Oh Ji-ho). Hee-soo invites In-young to become ‘coffee mate’ aka coffee buddy who only meets in the shop without swapping personal contact numbers. They routinely meet, and their feelings bloom.
