He recovered after strenuous rehabilitation period and came to Jeju Island for his exhibit. He met Moonsoo, who planned and designed his exhibit and came across the lives of the people in Jeju. He came to look back on his past and began to vaguely figure out the reasons of his confusing life. His wife who left without any notice, Moonsoo who still hurts in his heart from what Namo did to him 7 years ago, the town mayor who chose suicide after telling his lifetime secret to Namo, and Artist Namo himself who is still confused about his exhibit topic, the dog eating shadows, through which he wanted to describe a dog that eats a person's hope by eating his shadows.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
