Innocent Steps
Directed and Screenplay by: Park Yeong-hoon
Casts:
Moon plays the role of Jang Chae-rin, an ethnic Korean dancer from Yanbian, northeastern China. The story develops in a little bit old-fashioned way, but the film is still entertaining as it has Moon, who is definitely its strongest asset, plus samba, cha-cha and rumba dancing.
Chae-rin, without even knowing the basics of dancing, comes to Seoul to attend a national sports dancing championship as a substitute for her dancing-queen sister, who is forced to skip the Seoul event for personal reasons. Chae-rin thus manages to enter South Korea on her sister's passport.
Her partner in the competition is Na Young-sae (Park Geon-hyeong), a former member of the country's sports dance team.
But Chae-rin is soon caught living a lie. After some twists and turns, she learns dancing from Young-sae and love, too.
As in "My Little Bride," Moon wins the hearts of viewers with her innocent, big eyes and bright smiles. In "Innocent Steps," she looks mature as she sings a hit song by the late Chinese pop singer Teresa Teng and dances in a thigh-length red dress.
Moon is 19 years old, the same age as her character in the film, so the audience may see much of Moon in Chae-rin. There are certain roles which especially suit a particular actor, and Moon seems born to play Chae-rin.
However, her young age prevents her from depicting deep feelings of love.
Park, remembered by musical fans here for his lauded performance in the local version of "Saturday Night Fever," adds entertainment to the film with his dancing and physical charms. However, his performance lacks passion and rage with unnatural smiles.
"Innocent Steps" shifts from a typical sports movie to a comic-book-like romance in its second half as Jeong Hyeon-su (Yoon Chan), the villain, tries to spoil the dancers' plans. Jeong physically separates the lovers, but they meet again eventually and confirm their love toward each other.
Computer-generated fireflies also play a strong role in the picture, symbolizing the innocent love that director Park Young-hun said he tried to depict in the movie. Go to a cinema and check out the role they play in the reunion of the lovers.

Opinion:
One of my fave korean movie. I can relate in this because dancing is also what I love. It was my first time to see MGY dancing. Haha. I can't believe it. PGH too, he dances professional. "Samba" is what I like and I have learned it last summer. Try it! You'll GROOVE. :D
