In a mental institution, Young-goon believes she is a cyborg and refuses to eat, 'charging' herself with a transistor radio. One day she sees Il-soon, who has the ability to steal habits and characteristics from people, playing ping pong in a mask. Charmed by this off-beat character, she and Il-soon become fast friends. But when she faints from the lack of food and becomes delusional, Il-soon must find a way to get her eating again.

I have to say, I really don't see where all the dislike and criticisms come from. Granted, Cyborg is a far different film from all of Park's other works, and especially in the world of romantic comedies falls into the really freaking weird category, but I found it to be really entertaining. It was very sweet, but in a good way. No excessive cuteness, no magical cure to being crazy. The crazy people are crazy, and that ain't gonna change anytime soon. The cinematography and visuals were great. I really loved the set design of the hospital. And all of the side characters were a great cast of crazies. I have not watched a great deal of Korean cinema, and have never seen the leads in anything before. I live in Korea, so I'm very aware of Rain (or Be, as its pronounced here), but I thought that both pulled off their rolls very well, especially the girl. If you are looking for something fun, light hearted and a little bizarre, check this out. Just know that it is not your normal Park Chan Wook film.
