Cheol-ho is a spinal cord injury patient who became paralyzed below the neck due to a sudden accident.His only guardian was his father, Seong-gyu, until he died in cancer. Seong-gyu, a wealthy man, foresaw that leaving his son with a large inheritance and no family would make him vulnerable to exploitation by unscrupulous individuals seeking money. To protect Cheol-ho, Seong-gyu legally acknowledged Ji-eun as his daughter after thirty years of estrangement. Upon gaining legal recognition as his daughter, Ji-eun discovers that she has also been appointed as Cheol-ho’s guardian. Even more shockingly, Ji-eun finds out that Seong-gyu has tricked her into a financial trap that requires her to keep Cheol-ho alive for over 10 years if she wants to be eligible for any inheritance. If Cheol-ho dies before 10 years passes, Ji-eun would not be able to inherit anything—this is what Seong-gyu’s will says. One day, the family is visited by Kang-hee, a massage therapist born with visual impairment.

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.
