His breakthrough came with YMCA Baseball Team (2002), followed by Scout (2007) and When Romance Meets Destiny (2005), which established his signature blend of humor and emotional depth. Cyrano Agency (2010)—a romantic comedy about professional matchmakers—became his most widely seen work. He also directed 11 A.M.

His later film C'est Si Bon (2015) continued his exploration of relationships and human connection.
