A film director who no longer makes films, Seongjun, arrives in Seoul to meet a close friend. When the friend doesn't show up, Seongjun wanders the city aimlessly. He runs into an actress he used to know, shares a drink with some film students and against his better judgment, heads to his ex-girlfriend's apartment. The next day goes very much like the last; Seongjun meets the actress, has drinks with friends, and falls for woman who looks remarkably like his ex-girlfriend. Each new day plays out like a flimsy copy of the previous one, but only Seongjun knows why. Infused with a playfulness and dry wit that recalls the films of Eric Rohmer, The Day He Arrives is a delightful meditation on relationships, filmmaking, and the unknowable forces that govern our lives.

The Day He Arrives Film Synopsis

A film director who no longer makes films arrives in Seoul to meet a close friend. When the friend doesn't show up, he wanders the city aimlessly for three days, grabbing drinks and meeting women, with each day playing out like a version of the last.

Unusual cinematic grammar unfolding the very simple truth of lifeThis movie is weird. More accurately, abnormal. We sometimes realize how unrealistic the movie is. Movie is a drama. It is a complete fantasy that assembles the logical events one by one. The uncomfortable truth is that, life, however is full of coincidence. This movie is not based on the logic. 'The day he arrives’, therefor reach the simple truth of life..Score: 5/5

Well executedI enjoyed the atmosphere of the film, I'm glad it was in B&W. The characters seem to be very pensive and restrained while at times boiling over with emotion..Score: 4/5

Simple Film With Deep UndertonesRepetitive human behavior, that what makes us who we are by the choices we make. Conversations, interactions and impulses. This is a quite, beautiful black and white film of a Korean ex-director visiting a friend in Seoul. It plays with time in sort of a “Groundhog Day” way, but not exactly. It works well and has a way holding your attention through its tone..Score: 5/5

Quite by accident, a film director arrives in town a day early. With time to kill before his lecture, he stops by a restored palace and meets a fledgling artist (Kim Minhee from THE HANDMAIDEN). She’s never seen any of his films, but knows he’s famous. They talk, they go to her workshop to look at her paintings, and they have sushi and soju. More conversation follows, along with more drinks, and then an awkward get-together with friends where all sorts of secrets are revealed. All the while, they may or may not be falling for each other. Then, quite unexpectedly, we begin again, but now things appear somewhat different. An uncanny romantic comedy, RIGHT NOW, WRONG THEN is a deliciously intricate masterwork from filmmaker Hong Sangsoo.
