Jack Black is a bit of a reclusive smart - ass, distrusting of the society
around him, but progressively gets friendlier as he learns that
people aren't so bad with the
new kid in town (along with his socially
awkward new - found friend) helping him and his daughter attempt to right the wrongs by getting the monsters back in their books.
Invited to Suwon for a screening of one of his films, arthouse director Ham Cheon - soo (Jeong Jae - yeong) finds himself spending the day hanging out with aspiring painter Hee - jeong (Kim Min - hee), leading to a checklist of Hong - isms: comically
awkward conversations over food, followed by even more
awkward scenes of
people apologizing; strangely contentious interactions with
new acquaintances; jumbled chronology; characters standing
around in the cold for much longer than they should.
