Kwang-Soo (Ahn Suk-Hwan) works for a Mobile Network Operator. His primary job is to get users to cancel their pager service and sign up for newer cellphone plans. Lee Hyuk (Seo Tae-Hwa) is one of the remaining holdouts. In order to persuade Lee Hyuk to cancel his pager service, Kwang-Soo makes a trip out to Tongyeong. There, Kwang-Soo learns that Lee Hyuk is still holding on to his beeper, because he is awaiting for his first love to contact him on the device. Kwang-Soo then makes a deal with Lee Hyuk. Their deal is that if Kwang-Soo locates Lee Hyuk's first love, then Lee Hyuk will cancel his pager service.
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.
