Although acclaimed South Korean writer Lee Chang Dong has made only four films (Green Fish,Peppermint Candy,Oasis and Secret Sunshine) in his rewarding cinematographic career till date,he has turned out to be an altogether different director as he films his subject matter in a manner which is more akin to writing a book.This is plausible as he has decided to enter film making realm after writing screen plays of two critically acclaimed South Korean films "A Single Spark" and "To the Starry Island" both of which were directed by Park Kwang Su.A resounding impression which one can have while watching "Peppermint Candy" concerns the division of its narrative content into various sub themes.This has been done in order to show how past events are monumental in shaping the current destiny of a hapless individual as well as that of an injured nation.Lee Chang Dong's narrative style is virtually a double edged sword as he shows the feeling of hurt which have been suffered by both South Korean nation as well as by the film's protagonist.History of South Korean nation is undoubtedly a major theme of the film but it has been told in a rather playful, didactic manner.This is because Lee Chang Dong has concentrated more on simple things of life which are as important for ordinary South Korean people as their nation's turbulent history of the past. Peppermint Candy is a film to be viewed more than once as it is not a film but more of a metaphor of life.This is quite a new phenomenon in the history of South Korean cinema.
