In the comedy "Lady Daddy," a young child from a divorced family searches for his father. What he doesn't know is that his father is now a woman after having sex reassignment surgery. His father Ji-hyeon (Lee Na-Young) was a medical student but is now a photographer ...
And this one as well:
Ji-hyeon (Lee Na-young) is enjoying a perfect life as a beautiful photographer following a sex-change operation, until a young boy claiming that she had fathered him comes knocking at her door. Trouble ensues as Ji-hyeon tries to act like a conventional dad while her boyfriend (Kim Ji-seok-I) grows increasingly suspicious.
I'm supposed to be doing homework, because the stuff never ends even after graduation, so I automatically happened upon a movie that sounded like it had tons of potential - this one. Honestly, the main reason was because it touches upon the sensitive topic of sex change, not to mention how it's a Korean film. Next thing you know, I had opened up a window for it and I was watching it. I have to say I loved it. The acting was great, the interactions were adorable, and Lee Na-young makes a really, really feminine guy. I commend the fake mustache and goatee, though. :) There are tons of laugh-worthy scenes as well as ones that make you just a little frustrated, but it does touch sex change fairly well, even though it was mostly a background thing, albeit an important topic. Scenes from life before the change occurred in flashbacks and the fact that the "guy's" dad wasn't approving of it at all represented the This Is All Wrong side. Then there's the best friend from high school to stood by her side all the time and the idea of love regardless of what's on the outside was a big message towards the end. For a majority of the film, though, it's mainly about the dad-turned-female getting along with her new-found son and I absolutely loved the onomatopoeias. ^^
