# The School Nurse Files: Netflix fantasy K-drama a creative change of pace for The Truth Beneath filmmaker Lee Kyoung-mi

## - The School Nurse Files stars Jung Yu-mi as a school nurse who battles monsters only she can see – a story that Lee made when she ‘was in a very dark place’ - A tricky aspect of the filmmaker’s first foray into making a series was the quieter soundtrack; Lee felt she ‘was unable to provide that cinematic experience’

The six-part adaptation of Chung Serang’s cult novel is directed by filmmaker Lee Kyoung-mi, who spoke to the Post about creating the show.

“It’s a completely different world,” Lee says of her first foray into making a series. “When you make a film, you need to plant the seeds and reap the fruits within two hours. In this world, I was just a beginner. But because of that, a lot of it was experimental, and that made it fun.”

Lee is one of only a handful of female filmmakers currently working in South Korea, and cut her teeth under Oldboy director Park Chan-wook before directing a brace of feature films: 2008’s Crush and Blush and the excellent 2016 thriller The Truth Beneath starring Son Ye-jin.

The School Nurse Files stars Jung Yu-mi ( Train to Busan ; Kim Ji-young: Born 1982) as Ahn Eun-young, who can see “jellies”, the viscous residue of desire that we all leave behind.
