Bae Chang Ho is a South Korean director and screenwriter. He was the most commercially successful director of the 1980s, who made a number of chic melodramas about the new sensibility of the young generation. Since the 1980s, he pushed on in his artistic explorations, even enduring box office failures. His early works showed elaborate filmmaking techniques that were second to none among his contemporaries, but his later works are more characterized by a simple and down-to-earth approach to storytelling and image capturing. He once taught in college, but left his teaching position, frustrated by artistic stagnation.
