Synopsis

Bestseller by Choi In-ho serially published since 1972 on Chosun Ilbo made into film by director Lee Jang-ho. "Heavenly Homecoming to Stars" is a landmark of Korean popular culture. The absurdity and empty lives of the urbanites in the 1970s are portrayed through hostess Kyeong-A. Lee Jang-hee and Kang Geun-shik, known for C'est Si Bon, were in charge of the film music. The OST, including Lee Jang-hee’s “I will give you everything,” “A glass of memory,” and “Blow a whistle,” as well as Yoon Shi-nae’s “I am nineteen,” gained much popularity.
