About The Hero Returns
A girl who has failed to be accepted by a first-rate university and is suffering from depression, suddenly finds herself pulled into the past. She meets her parents as teenagers and must somehow find a way to spark their romance before she can return to her own time.
Directed by Jo Geum-hwan, The Hero Returns leans on a strong ensemble — Kim Hee-ae, Kim Hye-yeong, Lee Yeong-ha — 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 comedy titles of 1987.
