용주의도 미스 신 (Miss Gold Digger)

If you don’t like open ended or non-resolved movies, do not watch this!  I enjoyed the movie purely for the humor and individual jokes.  Among all of the movies I have seen so far, this might be the lowest on the scale as far as storyline goes.  Basically you have a girl who is keeping a few guys in order to choose the best one and you get to see how she evaluates them and how she handles them.

I won’t give away the ending, but I can kind of relate to it.  Right now I am just studying and doing my own thing.  I have a goal in the future and right now I’m not going to let anything get between me and achieving that goal.

Culture Notes

You see a few interesting points about Buddhist temples.  One is that meat is sort of a taboo item inside of a temple.  I don’t know if that is across the board but I have heard that many Buddhists believe they need to be vegetarians.  In the temple in this movie, the guy trying to become a lawyer says that it’s forbidden to eat meat inside of the temple.

You also get to see the 1,000 bow ceremony (I don’t know if they really do this or not, does anyone know)?  If anyone really does this, I can’t imagine how hard it would be just standing and sitting (basically) a thousand times.

While the main character participates in this ceremony, she holds Buddhist prayer beads.  If you don’t know what they are, try googling (I’m not an expert on the subject).  It appears that one says a prayer while holding the bead necklace and moves up one bead when they pray.  I believe the beads are there to help one concentrate on making the bad leave and letting the good come in.
