Honey Sweet
‘Honey Sweet’ was released in 2023 and was directed by Lee Han who also directed ‘Punch’ and ‘Innocent Witness’. The film was written by Lee Byeong-Hun who also wrote ‘Extreme Job‘ and the Netflix series ‘Chicken Nugget’.
‘Honey Sweet’ tells the story of Chi-Ho (Yu Hae-Jin) who works in a snack company. He’s been following a routine and due to an accident in his youth is a bit slower on the uptake. He’s a very kind man, although a bit socially awkward.
His monotony is broken up when he meets single mother Il-Young (Kim Hee-Seon). She’s forward, not afraid to stand up for herself and is working to settle her debt. They meet during her shift at the bank and she decides to pursue him romantically.
