About Miss, Please Be Patient
Korean-American Seo Seung-cheol is looking for a wife but requires any potential canidates to be similar to his mother. Feeling American women are too independent, he goes to Korea to search for a suitable bride. He meets Su-jin but is put off by the fact that she works in a carwash. However, as he gets to learn more about her, his feelings begin to change.
Directed by Park Cheol-su, Miss, Please Be Patient leans on a strong ensemble — Suh Se-won, Lee Mi-sook — 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 screen titles of 1981.
