History

OH majored in theatre and cinema at Hanyang University. Possessing an innate ability to recognize works that can find popularity and a strong command of his work, he has turned his first two films, his debut Last Present (2001) and 2005’s The Art of Seduction, into huge successes. He switched gears to direct the horror film Someone Behind You in 2007 and then took part in the omnibus feature Five Sense of Eros in 2009. He next took on his greatest challenge, by attempting to adapt his debut Last Present into A Wedding Invitation, a film made directly for the Chinese market. Using a mix of Korean and Chinese crew, the romantic film was a big hit on the mainland, proving a success story for CJ Entertainment, as they seek to gain in a foothold in the region. OH returned to Korea to work on his next film, Fashion King.

Love Virtually
Writer
In the near future, more than half of the world population uses ‘Love Virtually’, a virtual app. People find the partners they want with whose face they want, using a ‘Love Virtually’ ID, which becomes a general trend. A couple creates their IDs with their faces before plastic surgery and develop their love for each other. On the anniversary of the 100th day of their first meeting through the app, the couple are about to make love, but the app is down. Love Virtually is a rom-com about a couple searching for true love in a world where virtual reality is the norm by mixing the real world and virtual reality. Both in the real world and virtual reality, they meet each other before and after cosmetic surgery; the world’s standards for appearance might be meaningless for people trying to find their other half. The important thing is ‘the apple of my eye’, regardless of the real or virtual world.
