Career

Hur Jin-ho graduated from Yonsei University with a degree in philosophy and went on to study filmmaking at the Korean Academy of Film Arts. His first steps as a film director did not go unnoticed as his first short, For Go-chul, was selected for the Vancouver International Film Festival. He later co-wrote the script of A Single Spark and Kilimanjaro. Many of his feature films, Christmas in August, One Fine Spring Day, April Snow, Happiness and A Good Rain Knows are variations on Hur's favorite theme: love. Film critic Kim Ji-mi says in Korean Film Observatory magazine, Hur "shows the outstanding talent of being able to grasp the sensitive moments of the beginning and ending of a love between a man and a woman".
