Writer/director Heung-sun Jeong scored South Korea's top-grossing film of 2002 with his wacky gangster comedy MARRYING THE MAFIA. Dae-suh (Jun-ho Jeong) is an up-and-coming businessman who wakes up next to a beautiful young stranger, Jin-kyung (Jeong-eun Kim), after a night of drunken debauchery. Willing to write off the situation as an unfortunate one-night-stand, Dae-suh is dismayed to learn that Jin-kyung is the daughter of a powerful mob boss who sees an opportunity for political legitimacy in the respectable young executive. It isn't long before Dae-suh finds himself being threatened into marriage by Jin-kyung's mobster family in a series of slapstick scenarios that bring a thoroughly unconventional and distinctly South Korean approach to the standard romantic-comedy formula.

Reviews for Marrying the Mafia
It's a comedy that tries too hard to be funny, therefore it isn't. It has a plot that tries too hard to be crazy and off the wall, so it isn't that either.
An engaging romantic farce with classic screwball overtones, offset by particularly vicious scenes of gangland violence.
The unusual cultural details add a little color to the usual romantic turbulence, but it's otherwise as rote as its American counterparts.
