Beyond the Years (Cheon nyeon hak) (2007) is a South Korean film. Celebrated director Im Kwon-taek's 100th film, it is based on the novel The Wanderer of Seonhakdong, and was presented at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival.[2] Despite being an informal sequel to Im's phenomenally successful Sopyonje (1993), Beyond the Years was not popular with Korean audiences.[3] Beyond the Years is the story of Dong-ho, a pansori drummer who returns to his childhood village in search of his blind stepsister, Song-hwa.
Beyond the Years" is a love story between a female traditional Korean pansori singer and a male drummer who are not actually blood-related but have been brought up as sibling. The story uses Korean scenery for its background. The movie was also produced by Im, who became the country's "All-Korean director" after his "Sopyonje," which overwhelmed the critics.
