John H. Lee began to get noticed from a very young age thanks to music videos and short films made during his studies at New York University. After graduating, he returned to Korea to direct his debut The Cut Runs Deep (1998), a film praised for its originality and maturity. In 2004 his second work was released, A Moment to Remember, a traditional melodrama that is very different from his first work, and which with 3 million coupons detached affirms Lee as an eclectic artist, appreciated both in his homeland and in Japan, where in 2009 he shoots "Sayonara Itsuka".
