Best known as the heroine of the hit drama
Boys Over Flowers, popular actress Ku Hye Sun has also been developing a career behind the camera. Screened at the 2011 Busan Film Festival, her second directorial feature
Peach Tree tells a lonely, offbeat tale about conjoined brothers who are physically connected but growing apart. Cho Seung Woo (
Tazza: The High Rollers) and Ryu Deok Hwan (
Private Eye) star as the conjoined twins, while Nam Sang Mi (
Possessed) is the woman who comes between them. Choi Daniel, Lee Joon Hyuk, Lim Ji Gyu and Seo Hyun Jin make cameo appearances in the film.
Conjoined twin brothers Sang Hyun (Cho Seung Woo) and Dong Hyun (Ryu Deok Hwan) have been inexorably connected since birth, but they've never seen eye to eye – because their heads face opposite directions. The two live quietly with their father in a remote house away from the world. Dong Hyun's dream is to publish a children's book, and he finally has a chance to do so with the help of artist Seung Ah (Nam Sang Mi). Dong Hyun wants desperately to appear "normal" – a guise he can almost keep up by hiding Sang Hyun's face under a hood – and grows to resent his brother more and more. Meanwhile, Sang Hyun, who has never lived for himself, begins to realize his own dreams and needs after meeting Seung Ah.
