Between Love and Hate

Young-Hoon works for his mother’s restaurant, but he prefers hanging out with his friends. He then meets Yeun-ah, a tough lady that works in a room salon as a barmaid. She takes the initiative by coming to his restaurant, when he is working, and propositions him in a playful way. They become a couple, but their relationship is always volatile. They fight constantly (physically and verbally), but the next moment kiss and make up. Meanwhile, Young-Hoon already has another girlfriend, who is his finance!

Directed by Kim Hae-gon, Between Love and Hate leans on a strong ensemble — Jang Jin-young, Kim Seung-woo, Kim Sang-ho — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 2006.
