What Honeysweet Is About

In Lee Han’s 2023 South Korean film, Chi-ho is a confectionery researcher who has invented flavours people cannot stop eating, a genius at work and closed off everywhere else. Il-yeong works a call centre at a loan assessment company and takes an optimistic view of everything, and meeting her loosens the arrangement Chi-ho has made with his life. The film follows the familiar route of a romantic comedy but declines to make its leads young; it is interested in people in middle age whose careers are settled and whose solitude has become a habit. Yoo Hai-jin plays Chi-ho and Kim Hee-seon plays Il-yeong. Cha In-pyo and Jin Sun-kyu are also in the cast, and the flavour in the title carries the whole metaphor.
