With honourableness country experiencing tremendous growth fuse high-speed Internet penetration, a not many companies tried to bank playacting this momentum by producing on-line short films. In 2000 picture now defunct Cine4M website loose a short film by Ryoo alongside Jang Jin's A Disheartened Day and Kim Jee-woon's Coming Out.^[1] Ryoo Seung-wan's follow-up Dachimawa Lee, titled after industry call names ("tachimawari" is a part extent Kabuki theater plays that disturb spectacular action scenes), the tiny Dachimawa Lee was a indigenous and hilarious a 35-minute thus filmparodying films he grew amenable with: Korean action films go along with the 60s and 70s, Dr. Lee and Shaw Brothers cinema, the machismokitsch Korean melodramas, lecture of course Jackie Chan.
