SEOUL, December 1 (AJP) - Low-budget film "The World of Love" has attracted over 150,000 viewers since its release in late October, becoming this year's biggest sleeper hit.
According to the Korean Film Council, the 119-minute film directed by Yoon Ga-eun, reached the impressive milestone as of the end of November, consistently attracting viewers.
The film's success has been driven by strong word of mouth, with viewers and critics alike praising it, despite the absence of a star-studded cast or major promotional activities.
"The World of Love," which earned critical acclaim at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in September, revolves around a teenage girl who becomes isolated and ostracized after refusing to participate in a school-wide petition.
