Abstract This paper examines Kang Hyoung-suk’s 2011 film Sunny, a pivotal work in the Korean "retro" cinema trend. While the film is ostensibly a comedy-drama about high school friends reuniting, this analysis posits that Sunny functions as a complex treatise on the fragmentation of female identity in modern Korean society. By juxtaposing the idealized past of the 1980s with the disillusioned present, the film critiques the erosion of "jeong" (deep connection/affection). Furthermore, this paper analyzes the role of English subtitles in the film’s international distribution, specifically verifying how linguistic choices in translation either preserve or dilute the cultural specificity of the characters' dialect, honorifics, and sociopolitical context.
