Good Morning, President is a documentary that shows the human side of the nation's top leader.

Aside from comedy and laughter, the film depicts the director's ideal vision of how Korean presidents should be. The three presidents portrayed in the film are charismatic, moral, and selfless, despite their agony over choosing between public interest and personal happiness.
