I’m a Cyborg, But That’s OK (2006): ***



Young-goon (Im Soo-jung) believes she is a cyborg; she refuses to eat food and licks batteries instead to charge up. After she tries to charge up by attaching wires into her slit wrist and plugging herself into an outlet, Young-goon’s mother (Lee Yong-nyeo) has her committed at a mental hospital. At the institute, Young-goon happily chats to the fluorescent lights and the coffee machine during the day, before dutifully listening to the voice from her radio, who orders her to kill the hospital staff. Young-goon attracts the attention of Il-soon (Rain), an anti-social kleptomaniac who believes he can steal his fellow patients’ characteristics, who decides to try and support her whilst she’s at the hospital.
