Biography
O Muel (born Oh Kyung-heon) is a South Korean film director and screenwriter who gained recognition for penning and helming Jiseul, an award-winning feature released in 2012. His dual mastery of script and direction sets him apart in Korean cinema—he doesn't just write dialogue, he orchestrates visual narrative. Muel's work typically zeroes in on intimate human moments and moral complexity, traits that define his voice across projects. Born in 1971, he carries the Capricorn trait of methodical craftsmanship and patience with long-form storytelling. Life-path number 2 suggests his role as a collaborator and bridge-builder between cast, crew, and audience, a signature of filmmakers who thrive on ensemble trust. As a screenwriter-director, Muel operates in both the solitary space of script composition and the collaborative pressure of set direction, a dual skill set rare in Korean cinema.

Trivia

- His birth name, Oh Kyung-heon, was condensed to the professional moniker O Muel, a common branding practice among Korean auteurs seeking international recognition.
- As both screenwriter and director, Muel operates across two traditionally separate skill domains in cinema, reflecting a filmmaker who builds story architecture before shooting a single frame.
