[REL] The Wonder Years AKA Yeol-se-sal Soo-ah (2007)

[Night457]

열세살 수아 = Yeol-se-sal Soo-ah = literal translation "13-year-old Soo-ah"
Hence the alternative English title "Girl, Thirteen"

13-year-old Soo-ah lives with her mother. After her father passed away a few years ago, her mother runs a diner to support their living, and she's always too busy to have much time taking care of the adolescent daughter. Soo-ah does not approve the robust mother's hard living, because she thinks a popular singer is her real mother. Soo-ah loves to daydream about the real mother, watching the Pop singer's music videos. One day, Soo-ah decides to leave her home and go to Seoul for the Pop singer's concert. . .

The lead actress Se-yeong Lee was previously seen in [REL] Ahobsal insaeng AKA When I Turned Nine (2004) [South Korea].

Is this perhaps a loose remake of [REL] L'Effrontée (1985)?

Spoiler: A 13-year-old girl has lost a parent and has difficult relationships with the surviving parent and the substitute parental figure. She has a girl crush on a smart, pretty and talented girl her age, and another female friend who competes for her affections. Boys are not hugely important, but a grabby older male figure is on the receiving end of violence. Breast development comes up. Finally, our heroine fantasizes about escaping from her boring home with a popular musical performer.

It certainly shares a number of plot elements, but in different configurations so that it is a very different story. In a weird bit of synchronicity, I happened to watch both films on the same day.

Good news, a higher quality video (720p) has been found! However, this one has burned-in yellow Turkish subtitles. The same English subtitle file is timed properly for this, so if you do not find white subtitles on top of yellow ones too distracting this is a better option.
