If you like comedy but 16-18 episodes of a mini series drama is too long for you, check out this 2005 movie called "Quiz King" also known as Mr. Housewife.



This humorous film centers on the madcap life of Oh Jin Man (Han Suk Kyu), a former corporate suit turned stay-at-home husband, who's served in that capacity for the last six years. When a moneymaking scheme goes horribly awry, Jin Man is forced to take some drastic action in order to raise the thirty million won he needs to recoup.

His brilliant solution? Win the prize on a television game show! While not exactly practical, the plan is possible, that is, if it weren't for a lingering little problem - the quiz show is meant for housewives only! Jin Man, however, remains undaunted by the gender discrimination and finds away around the rules...............

I can't say this movie is like The Foul King but you would like it if you haven't watched it yet.

Glad you liked it.
If you liked The Foul King, you might also like "가문의 영광 Marrying the mafia."
It's quite funny.

Synopsis

A man wakes up one morning to find a beautiful young woman sleeping nude beside him. Neither of them can remember the previous night’s events. After trying to walk away from the incident and get back to his normal life as a lawyer, he quickly learns several important facts: 1. The girl is the daughter of a big crime boss. 2. She was allegedly a virgin before he had his way with her. 3. He can either choose to marry her, or be murdered. The circumstances are very suspicious, and it seems possible that he’s somehow been framed into this position. But even a lawyer would have trouble talking his way out of this one–especially when the judge and jury are not at all impartial, are not his peers, all carry weapons, and want to kill him if he says the wrong thing.

Thanks for the links guys! Will spend a lot of time watching Korean movies this weekend.

I really like The Foul King as the character actor is VERY GOOD, and it showcases a lot of Asian societal issues, like the salarimen. Even the wrestling segments are hilarious, i laughed so hard and cried so hard within the same movie.

Incidentally, the "Mr Housewife" has those elements too, but it turned a bit too conventional at the happy end.

What I don't understand is, how is it possible for the wife to SLAP her husband and move out, when he didn't even do anything wrong? Also, the korean women are portrayed as very aggressive in the movie, when I get the impression that the society is more male-dominated, and women like "My Sassy Girl" are rare.

Maybe 'cause that offers some form of escape fantasy and it's just hilarious. Korea is quite male-dominated at workplaces but in a romantic relationship or at home, females don't really have the lower hand in their dynamics.

LOL Don't believe everything you saw in the Korean movies.
Most of stories are strictly fiction and overly exaggerated.
They are far from reality.

"Friends" was the first drama in television history that was co-produced between Korea (MBC) and Japan (TBS) in 2002.
Drama was filmed in Hong Kong, Japan and Korea.
Won Bin and Fukada Kyoko were main actors.



Synopsis

Left alone on a trip to Hong Kong, Tomoko (Fukada Kyoko) finds herself the victim of a purse-snatching. The police arrest the man she points out, but it turns out to be the wrong person: a young Korean man named Ji Hoon (Won Bin). Despite his anger and humiliation, he takes her out to dinner since she has lost all her money, and in return, she agrees to model for his amateur film. What follows is a magical and romantic two days. Upon returning to their respective countries, Tomoko must return to her nine-to-five job and Ji Hoon must resume studying to join the family business rather than pursuing his dream of becoming a film director. But soon the two begin to email each other and rekindle their relationship despite the distance and obstacles between them. Marking the very first time in television history that a drama has been co-produced between Japan and South Korea, the story shows us that love has no borders.

They performed Mr. Taxi, too. This is the full video.

On that stage, I read Sooyoung had a fever and Taeyeon and Jessica were really fatigued from their tight schedule. They did well though. They just finished their 3rd concert of 2011 Japan Tour in Saitama. J-Sones are love.
