This study analyzed the unconventional direction of the melodrama appearing through director Jin-Ho Huh's work, <Christmas in August> and <One Fine Spring Day>. Director Jin-Ho Huh is not only showing moderated aesthetics through narration and style while not being bound to traditional customs shown in established melodramas but also trying for a direction that differs from existing melodramas through those which contain common, everyday lives.
In a word, existing melodramas have narratives that produce accidental and fatal incidents and conflicts as factors for inducing overdrawn emotions. Following, in order to convey a narrative in extreme circumstances more perfectly, melodramas use mise-en scenes which audiences can inhale more closely. It is making dramatical mise-en scenes effective devices for maximizing empathies. Additionally, all these factors have been accepted as customs regulating traditional melodramas.
However, director Jin-Ho Huh leads the sentiments of the main characters in ordinary places and restrains it internally rather than showing it excessively; excluding certain fatal incidents and conflicts that stimulate tear ducts. Eventually, the most fitting explanation of the specialty of his films will be the expression of restrain, even if it is a bit of a cliche.
For example, while most melodramas stimulate tears at the determinative moment after leading the emotions of the audience from the beginning--proceeding as a greatly-fixed plot which is meeting, separation, and the reconfirmation of love after overcoming trials during the process--the audience in director Jin-Ho Hug's melodramas has difficulty experiencing catharsis through the process in which the desires of the characters in the films are broken down. This is because certain tensions or excessive emotions are not shown on the surface while hiding tears through the restrain of emotions when excluding emotional violence and shedding tears. Like the above, director Jin-Ho Huh is opening the possibilities of Korean melodramas with his own delicate direction skills while representing unusual styles with distinguished sensitivity which cannot be commonly seen in previous melodramas; even though he is depicting love and separation which are traditional topics of melodramas.
