Joo Ji-hoon in The Naked Kitchen

Synopsis

Today is Mo-rae and Sang-in’s one-year wedding anniversary. After a busy morning preparing for the celebration, Mo-rae goes to an art gallery to find a gift for Sang-in. At the gallery, she meets a complete stranger and the two unexpectedly have sex. Mo-rae returns home feeling anxious and guilty about the incident and cannot help but confess it to Sang-in. That night, a visitor arrives at their house; Du-rae, who came from Paris to help Sang-in with his new business. To Mo-rae’s shock, he is the man from the gallery. He temporarily lives with the couple in their house and a risky love triangle begins.

The title says it all: "The Naked Kitchen". Newcomer Hong Ji-young brings a sensuous romance that paints the taste of juicy meals and unforgettable kisses.

After competing at a few international short film festivals with "Herstory", Hong makes her feature film debut both here and abroad through the Berlin International Film Festival, which continues through Feb. 15. The movie's nationwide release in Japan is slated for June.

For local moviegoers, "Kitchen" will be a delightful trend-spotting, trend-setting franchise. It capitalizes on the national obsession with fine dining, particularly the recent interest in food styling and things fusion. Martha Stewart can feast her eyes with brunch dished up on Hermes china and Korean court cuisine served in a Western-style multiple-course meal.

Other scenes are like fashion magazine spreads, as the cellophane-thin lead actress struts around trendy neighborhoods in her candy-colored shoes. But the emerging director displays a sense for both style and substance as she delves the meaning of love and infidelity. The movie is a fine asset to the Korean chick flick genre as it sugarcoats the sensitive subject matter with scrumptious dishes, summer sunshine and colorful parasols.

Mo-rae (Sin Min-ah) is a young parasol designer happily married to the love of her life (Kim Tae-woo). She is the perfect wife who supports Sang-in even when he secretly quits his high-paying job in finance to pursue his dreams of becoming a chef. Their newly wedded bliss, however, is disrupted when a new man (Joo Ji-hoon) enters Mo-rae's life.

Unlike other stories about clandestine liaisons, "Kitchen" depicts the incident with fairy-tale charms, though not without a touch of eroticism. "He tasted different", Mo-rae immediately confesses to her husband, with childlike innocence, that she kissed a stranger in an art gallery. Sang-in tries to forgive and forget, having always been the generous older brother figure to his childhood friend-turned-wife.

Mo-rae's mysterious kisser, however, turns out to be none other than her husband's dear friend Du-re, a genius cook who was invited to stay at their home while helping out with Sang-in's new restaurant. And so begins a shaky, three-way cohabitation.

"Kitchen" can be compared to Gina Kim's "Never Forever", as both show that first loves, or one great love, does not necessarily last forever. The movie also suggests it is possible to love two people at the same time, quite like Jeoong Yoon-soo's "My Wife Got Married". But unlike the said film's openly polygamous wife, Mo-rae is more "ordinary" and tries not to fool around with Du-re. But considering their having exchanged kisses before names, it's not easy. "It started as Eros and now you want to go platonic? Does that make sense?" reprimands Mo-rae's friend.

The viewer is bound to sympathize with Sang-in, who cannot help feeling an inferiority complex toward Du-re's innate cooking abilities. Others might take sides with lonely boy Du-re, played by the model-turned-actor Joo. The heartthrob of the hit TV soap "Princess Hours" is an actor to watch out for, as his big screen debut "Antique" is also being shown alongside "The Naked Kitchen" at Berlin. Yet one drawback is that this non-francophone actor plays a character that is supposed to speak better French than Korean. Those who aren't distracted by the actor's natural charms may find his chanson d'amour version of a popular Shim Su-bong trot beat rather cheesy.

Now showing in theaters. 102 minutes. Distributed by Silver Spoon.

KFC Cheesy Meltz

All in all, the Cheesy BBQ Meltz by KFC is a roti prata folded in half, of which some of KFC's popcorn chicken, cheese, diced tomatoes, mayonnaise and spiced squarish crackers are stuffed in between.

Typically fast food, the portion is small and you'll stay full for about an hour or two. The tastes disappears once you wash it down with the soft drink that comes with the meal, alongside it's usual comrades, the small whipped potato and small coleslaw.


However if you're thinking along the lines of an easy and quick snack, the Meltz is definitely recommended because even though it looks as if the contents may just all fall out before any of it reaches your mouth, surprisingly ALL off it sticks together even after you take a bite!

The cheese portion is disappointingly small, compared to the promising pictures. The roti prata wrap may be a bit too burnt and cause a slight bitter taste (only if you're THAT unlucky). But you can pretty much figure out why it's called Cheesy BBQ Meltz.

13 Years Old Father!!

Alfie, who was 12 when he got Chantelle Steadman - who was then 14 - pregnant, said: "I know I'm young but I plan to be a good dad."

In an interview with The Sun, the schoolboy from Eastbourne, East Sussex, he said his first night of parenthood was "easier than I thought", adding: "I think we'll be good parents. I'll have to work extra hard at school."

Both Alfie and Chantelle change their daughter's nappy and she sleeps in her mother's bedroom.

Chantelle, now 15, admitted she had been left "in a daze" since giving birth Maisie, 7lb 13oz, four days ago.

She said: "Alfie has been really good with her. He made the first bottle and then we took it in turns feeding her. He did the first bit with me. We didn't need any help from Mum.

"I didn't really get back to sleep. I just lay there in a daze."

She added: "When I was pregnant the police and social workers came to interview us and they decided that we would make good parents to Maisie.

"Now we will prove to everyone that we can be, and give her a great future. When Alfie is 16 he can come and live here with me and my family.

"We don't want to get a flat because we wouldn't have enough money and I want us both to stay in school to make the best future for Maisie."

The story has raised disturbing questions about society, according to leading politicians.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown said: "I think all of us would want to avoid teenage pregnancies.

Children's Secretary Ed Balls said; "You look at that young lad being a dad when he is so young - and also the teenage girl - and you think it's not right, this looks so terrible.

"Our first reaction has got to be to make sure that the young lad, the teenage mum and the baby get all the support they need.

"And it's also vital that we do everything we can to make sure that these kind of teenage pregnancies don't happen in the future."

Social Services in the pair's home town of Eastbourne admitted to "concerns" over the case but said they would give "all their support".

Police said they investigated but decided to take no further action as it was "not in anyone's interests" to prosecute.
