About Love Is Protein
One idle summer night, three poor housemates, Jae-ho, Kyeong-soon, and Hong-chan order fried chicken with the money from the shattered piggy bank. When the food arrives, it is delivered by a large swine. A giant chicken soon follows, begging the 3 housemates that his fried chick is not to be eaten.
Directed by Yeon Sang-ho, Love Is Protein leans on a strong ensemble — Yang Ik-june, Oh Jung-se, Park Jin-su — 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 animation titles of 2008.
