Salangeul chajaseo (사랑을 찾아서) (In Search of Love, or Looking For Love) is a 1929 Korean film written, directed, produced, edited by and starring Na Woon-gyu (1902-1937). The film premiered at the Choseon Theater in April, 1929. More than one thousand extras from Na's hometown Hoeryong were employed in the filming of "Salangeul chajaseo", making the film into a symbolic epic national exodus as a protest against the Japanese occupation of Korea. Originally entitled "
Good bye") (1927), "Beongeoli Sam-ryong" (벙어리 삼룡, "Mute Samryong") (1929), and "Salangeul chajaseo" (사랑을 찾아서, "Finding Love") (1929).
Another important director of this period, Shim Hun, directed only one film, "Mondongi Tultte" (먼동이 틀 때) ("At Daybreak"). Though the reviews for this film were as strong as those for "Arirang," Shim died at the age of 35
