[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Young-goon, mentally deranged and frequently electro-charging herself with a transistor radio, has been admitted into a mental institution. Firmly believing herself to be a cyborg, she refuses to consume like a human being. Il-soon is another patient, who catches the eye of Young-goon and soon becomes a close friend. Il-soon is now confronted with the biggest task – to cure Young-goon’s mental problem and have her eat real food.

Spoilers end here.

[edit] Box Office

The film opened in South Korea on December 8, and was the number one movie at the box office in its opening weekend, grossing $2,478,626[1], mostly on the strength of director Park Chan-wook and the star-power of Rain. However, in its second weekend, it plummetted by 76%[2], and by its third weekend it was pulled from most screens[3]

By its third weekend, I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK sold approximately 780,000 tickets. In contrast, Park's films JSA, Oldboy, and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance had easily sold over 3 million[4]. As such, I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK is regarded as a box office flop.
