Asako in Ruby Shoes (2000)
Original title: 순애보
Asako in Ruby Shoes is a 2000 Korean-language drama movie directed by E J-yong, with a running time of 1h 57m. It stars Lee Jung-jae, Misato Tachibana and Urara Awata.
Asako in Ruby Shoes succeeds in providing yet another challenge to views of a homogeneous South Korea by presenting to us the Asian side of modern globalization. The film jumps back and forth from Korea and Japan, with each main character feeling out of place in their respective homes.
