CHECK PLEASE

Directed by Shane Chung

Cast: Richard Yan, Sukwon Jeong

It’s closing time at the local Korean BBQ restaurant and JAY, a Korean-American, is out to dinner with SU-BIN, his coworker and the new Korean hire at the office. When it comes time to pay for the bill, the polite atmosphere quickly becomes competitive – both want to treat the other to the meal, both too stubborn and prideful to let the other pay. What starts as a verbal confrontation escalates into a no-holds-barred martial arts brawl, complete with salad tongs action, broomstick twirls, and credit card clashes. One will pay the bill… the other will pay with his life!
