  • I. Introduction


    Hwang In-ho is a South Korean film director and screenwriter.


    II. Career


    In 2011, Hwang made his feature directorial debut with Spellbound (titled "Chilling Romance" in Korean), about a stage magician (Lee Min-ki) who meets an introverted woman (Son Ye-jin) who is constantly haunted by ghosts. Spellbound became a hit with more than 3 million admissions, making it the 7th top-grossing Korean film of 2011 and one of the most commercially successful Korean rom-coms in recent years.


    For his sophomore directorial effort, Hwang reunited with actor Lee Min-ki on Monster (2014), this time opposite Kim Go-eun. Kim played a developmentally disabled woman who wreaks revenge on the serial killer (Lee) who murdered her beloved younger sister. Hwang experimented further with his filmmaking by pushing genres to the extremes, combining thriller, comedy and fantasy.
