Flower Island-Song Il-Gon which edition ?
 
Which one between korean and HK edition. I guess the korean is better, but i couldn't find a comparison on DVD Basen or DVD Beaver.

Although there is no direct comparison between the two and there is only one review posted at the moment:

Ciao,

Usually korean editions are better than HKs but I'm confused when I read this :

"If we can get our hands on this new Tai Seng 16X9 DVD we will review/compare but I can only expect it to be superior."
"Hopefully the Tai Seng DVD will be an improvement and stay in print as the film and its powerful emotional dynamic should be seen."
-confused-

My bad I meant to write the Tai Seng disc as teh Korean one is not anamorphic. Sorry for the typo! (I will change the post above).

It's Ok, the problem is they are both described as 1.85:1 anamorphic 16/9 on many sites. I found two reviews saying it
was not, including the DVDBeaver one.
When I read Tai Seng the word WARNING is blinking in my head:), they're like Mei Ah, the quality of
their work is very variable and cinemasie.com says :

"Single Face Single Layer (DVD 5) NTSC "

which reminds me some bad Mei Ah editions.

Flower Island is a sort of road movie filmed with a DV camera which gives this particular image like a documentary plus
the black and white image through the camera of the 17 years old kid when she's filming.
I like this film a lot.
