About Paradise
A woman released from prison, gets on a ship without any plans to find an island called ‘Paradise’ that was advertised on a flyer she got in the train. She meets a male teacher on the ship who helps her to get a job at a school cafeteria on the island. One day, she rescues a student who happened to be making the same mistake the woman made which eventually landed her in prison. Despite the rescue, the girl eventually catches on fire.
Directed by Lee Jang-Soo, Paradise leans on a strong ensemble — Kim Ha-neul, Ji Jin-hee, Kim You-jung — 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 drama titles of 2009.
