Title: Program 23: Daytime Drinking (Trailer) View count: 561 Rating: 5.0 (3 ratings) Description: DAYTIME DRINKING (NOT SOOL) - Program 23 - Saturday, May 2, 2009 - 9:45 PM - Laemmle's Sunset 5 - Drinking to forget is a timeless ritual, and when Hyuk-jin (Song Sam-dong) meets his friends after being dumped by his girlfriend, he gets hopelessly inebriated. Against his will, he agrees to go with them on a trip to Jeongseon in the distant province of Gangwon-do. Waking up the next, chilly morning at the Jeongseon bus stop, he discovers, after many cigarettes and phone calls, that none of his friends made it to the resort, nor have any intention of joining him. Alone in this unfamiliar, unexceptional place, he embarks upon what will turn out to be an odd road trip. Stumbling from misunderstanding to misunderstanding and cradling his broken heart, Hyuk-jin finds himself walking in his underwear along mountainous roads where tigers are believed to roam at night. He rests at inhospitable guesthouses and kisses beautiful, strange girls, all while ambling towards an epic, clarifying hangover.
