I am going to introduce you a funny and touching Korean comedy in my second entry. It is called the Scandal Makers. This movie is about a not so popular 36 year old Korean DJ who is having high listenership due to an anonymous young single mother calling in. One day, the DJ ‘s doorbell rang and this 22 year old single mum with a 6 year old boy claim to be his daughter and grandson at his doorstep. This resulted in a twist in his bachelor life and the single mum’s life, whereby this selfish man and this immature girl changed into caring and responsible individuals.

       The DJ took in the mother and child under situational rules that govern the situation he is in. The mother threatens to reveal their identity and because he is a celebrity and exposing this scandal will spoil his good image, changing people’s perception of him as a caring person and cause listenership to fall. It’s a good example to show how organisation can be influenced by structural elements that shape our overall approach to the perceptual tasks.

       In this movie, you can also see how physical personal constructs is used to predict the future and how it governs people’s personal action or response. The girl was dressed like a village girl at first and when she participate the singing competition her biological father, the DJ, had the thinking that she will not sing well until she sung. They were all shocked that the girl could sing so well. When the girl took a makeover, she rose to popularity in a short time. Similarly, the grandson was dressed shabbily and the kids in the childcare refused to play with him. Things start to change for the better until his dad bought him nice outfits and when they realized that he could play the piano very well.

       Figure (the focus of our attention) and ground (setting or context surrounding the context) also plays a part in this movie. The first day in the childcare, the little boy saw a very cute little girl (figure) and he totally had all his eyes on her and even when his grandfather (ground), the DJ, called out to him he is not paying attention. His grandfather also focuses on the gorgeous female teacher when he saw her and forgets the surrounding.

       We also tend to form closure which is tendency to fill in the missing piece of a puzzle by mentally completing it so as to make sense of a particular set of stimuli. In one of the scene, the ex-boyfriend of the single mother saw her going up the same house with the DJ, and he starts to suspect that she is having an affair with the DJ. Also, when he saw the little boy at the police station he thought that the DJ is the father of the boy. Through vision, he made up his perception without knowing the full picture.

       Lastly, this is a comedy worth watching as it have a good storyline and a cute boy as the character which will make you laugh. Mostly importantly, it is a touching movie about kinship and family ties.
