Shin Min-a and Gong Hyo-jin's 'Right Now, This Way Is Good' Re-release

Digital Remastering... Premiere at Seoul International Women's Film Festival

Director Bu Ji-young's debut film Now, It’s Good As It Is (2008) has been digitally remastered and will be screened after 14 years. According to the distributor Et Nine Films on the 25th, it was first showcased at the Seoul International Women’s Film Festival’s "Restoration: Blind Spots of the Archive" and will be released in theaters on the 22nd of next month.

The road movie depicts the journey of sisters Myeong-ju and Myeong-eun, who differ in appearance, personality, occupation, and even their fathers, as they search for Myeong-eun’s father who disappeared long ago. The film is notable for its intricate narrative structure that moves between past and present, as well as its complex and lyrical emotional portrayal. It was praised at the time of release as a work that was "ahead of its time" for calmly and delicately addressing various issues and sensitive topics.

Lead actress Shin Min-a said, "I took part in this project because I wanted to show various sides of myself." Gong Hyo-jin urged viewers to watch it, saying, "This might be the last chance to see it on the big screen." Regarding the remastering, Hwang Mi-yo-jo, programmer of the Seoul International Women’s Film Festival, emphasized its significance by stating, "It prompts us to question how Korean film history has recorded the early 2000s, when female talent began to be actively involved and female directors emerged every year, and how those films are preserved and presented."
