Add to a movie listBirthday (hangeul : 생일 ; RR : Saengil ; litt. « Anniversaire ») est un film dramatique sud-coréen écrit et réalisé par Lee Jong-eon et sorti en 2019 en Corée du Sud. L'histoire s'inspire pour trame de fond du naufrage du Sewol le 16 avril 2014 qui fit plus de 300 morts, dont en majorité des lycéens.
C'est la seconde fois que les acteurs Seol Kyeong-gu et Jeon Do-yeon jouent ensemble, 18 ans après I Wish I Had a Wife (2001).
Le film arrive premier du box-office sud-coréen de 2019 lors de sa deuxième semaine d'exploitation avec moins de 400 000 entrées mais bénéficie cependant de l'absence de grosses concurrences car la plupart des studios préfèrent ne pas sortir leurs principaux films juste avant la sortie d'Avengers: Endgame le 24 avril 2019 (le volet précédent, Avengers: Infinity War, avait totalisé plus de 11 millions d'entrées en 2018).
Synopsis
Jeong-il (Seol Kyeong-gu) et Soon-nam (Jeon Do-yeon) sont des parents ordinaires essayant d'élever leurs enfants du mieux possible. Mais lorsque leur fils Su-ho (Yoon Chan-young ) meurt dans le naufrage d'un navire, la famille commence à se briser. Alors que le quotidien se fait de plus en plus douloureux chaque jour, les autres familles endeuillées essayent de les consoler du mieux qu'elles le peuvent.Actors

Lee Dae-ho (Kim Sang-kyung) is a single father and manager of the 120 story luxurious landmark building complex, Tower Sky in Yeouido, Seoul. He is an earnest employee liked by his colleagues and is secretly in love and secretly even wanted to marry with Seo Yoon-hee (Son Ye-jin), a restaurant manager. The owner of the complex, Mr. Jo decides to hold a "White Christmas" party for tenants and VIPs on Christmas Eve, with helicopters circling above with huge lights attached below them, sprinkling snow onto the party. Dae-ho has promised to spend the day at an amusement park with his daughter Ha-na, but had to cancel when he is needed at the party. However, the building has faulty water sprinklers due to frozen pipes, but Mr. Cha, the Tower Sky's safety section head, is more concerned for the party than any possible architectural errors within the building, despite warnings from his fellow employers about these errors. (One example of their warnings is when cook Young-cheol (Jeon Bae-soo) accidentally leaves a stove on for too long and causes a minor fire.) Young-cheo is in love with a receptionist within the building named Min-jung, and even sneaks out of the kitchen while on duty to make her an ice cream. Meanwhile, Lee Seon-woo (Do Ji-han) is a rookie fireman entering the Yeouido Fire Station. When he gets accepted, he learns that many of the firefighters get more breaks than actual firefighting. In a prank to fool Seon-woo, the other firefighters ring the fire alarm for the squad to assemble while he takes a shower, causing him to appear in front of his entire team naked, much to the other firefighters' and even his own pleasure as they put his helmet on him for the first time.
