Synopsis: Ushering in a new era of independent filmmaking in South Korea, DAYTIME DRINKING is a comedy in the spirit of STRANGER THAN PARADISE and SIDEWAYS- but with a distinctly Korean twist. When... Ushering in a new era of independent filmmaking in South Korea, DAYTIME DRINKING is a comedy in the spirit of STRANGER THAN PARADISE and SIDEWAYS- but with a distinctly Korean twist. When a broken-hearted city dweller goes to meet his friends in the countryside for a getaway, he finds that not only have none of them showed up for the trip, but the tiny seaside town is shuttered- no shops are open, no tourists are around, the beach is freezing, and there’s no cell phone signal. Unable (and unwilling) to return to Seoul, in the company of some very unusual locals, and subject to the rigid rules of Korean drinking culture (never decline the first drink, always accept a drink from an elder, etc.), he finds himself on an increasingly strange odyssey nursing a never-ending hangover. --© Variance Films [More]

... has an uninteresting lead character and a plot filled with contrived situations, illogical decision-making and amazing coincidences.

... 'Drowning your sorrows' takes on extra meaning as Hyeok-jin (a wonderfully naive performance by Sam-dong Song) is convinced by his boozing buddies that a change of scenery will mend his grieving heart.

Young-seok Noh's Daytime Drinking is a droll minimalist comedy with major insights that has been understandably heralded as a breakthrough in independent filmmaking in Korea.

Daytime Drinking is proof that a good script and simpatico direction and performances can overcome budgetary restrictions.
