Happy Birthday, Park Chan-wook! May your day be as visually stunning and delightfully twisted as the hallway fight scene in "Oldboy." Your films have taught us valuable life lessons—like never underestimate a hammer or trust anyone who offers dumplings too eagerly.From unraveling mysteries at the tense border of "Joint Security Area" to exploring darkly poetic vampire romance in "Thirst," you've consistently amazed (and slightly traumatized) audiences worldwide. Here's hoping this year brings you even more success—and fewer revenge plots than usual. Cheers to another brilliant chapter filled with cinematic genius, stylish brutality, and maybe just one happy ending?
