Good, inexpensive edition of Classic?

I watched the Edko release of My Sassy Girl last night and loved it, so I'd like to check out Classic. Unfortunately, the movie's title makes searching online stores and forums kinda difficult. So I'd like to tap into this forum's collective knowledge of Korean films on DVD before I start browsing too many online stores.

I'm looking for something with decent English subtitles and anamorphic NTSC video. 5.1 audio is a plus but not a requirement, since I don't have a surround-sound decoder.

I'm a little bit spoiled by being able to pick up HK DVDs from CD-Wow for $10 and change, so ideally I'd like something in the $10 - $20 price range (including shipping), if possible. Does such a beast exist? If not, is there an edition worth ponying up the extra cash for?

There is also Edko verison of The Classic. It is available in HK websites, Layoyo and DDDhouse at HK$129 and HK$125. Not sure about the shipping charge to your place.

Check out yesasia.com. They have a DVD version (China) for only $ 5.99.

I have this DVD and for the price, it looks pretty good on our 55" widescreen TV.

The $ 5.99 DVD of "The Classic" is not anamorphic though.

I just doublechecked the DVD. It seems to be anamorphic. I was thrown off because I didn't realize that the aspect ratio was 2.35:1.

Thanks. $6 for the Chinese version is tempting, but I think I'll stick with the HK edition since I'm not sure how well my DVD player can handle PAL -> NTSC conversion.

The Classic isn't really comparable to My Sassy Girl, which is what alot of people think. Windstruck however, definitley is.
