Movies

Love 911 and The Hypnotist

Love 911 is a movie about a firefighter who closed his heart after he was unable to save his wife, and a rough doctor who is in danger of getting fired after making a fatal mistake.  Kang-il (played by Go Soo) the firefighter and Mi-soo (played by Han Hyo Joo) the doctor will help each other to heal their wounds.  As the two save the lives of others, this is a story about the two of them healing their hurt together.  It is a warm-hearted story that will move the audience whilst also making them laugh.

The Hypnotist stars Mikael Persbrandt as a psychologist who is brought in by the police to help find a brutal killer.  To do so, he must hypnotise the killer's only surviving victim, something he swore he would never do again.  Lena Olin plays his wife, and Finnish actor Tobias Zilliacus also stars as police Detective Inspector Joona Linna.
