 Chunhyang Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net
The typical pansori is usually performed by two people, with one person playing the puk, or drum, while the other 'sings' a lengthy narrative to the beat.
The 'singing' of a pansori is more like chanting, and unlike other forms of song, there is an emphasis on creating a slightly rough and husky sound in the throat, or tongseong.
At other times, the reactions of the audience and performers are effectively used to heighten the emotional pull of a scene, such as when Mongyoung sets out on the road to be reunited with Chunghyang, or the pained expression on Cho's face as he recounts Chunghyang's repeated beatings by the new governor.

 Korean Movie Review | Sopyonje (1993) Kwon-taek Im, Kyu-chul Kim
True to his nature, Youbong is unwilling to allow pansori to flee his life, and thus struggles to maintain it even as overwhelming odds close in on him.
Even as modernization slowly but surely pushes pansori (along with the Korean that once embraced it) into the shadows, Youbong holds steadfast, certain in his beliefs.
So obsessed with training the perfect pansori singer that Youbong is willing to blind his daughter in order to "teach her about grief", all the more to strengthen her ability to convey emotion.

 DVD review of Chunhyang - DVD Town   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The pansori part of the film takes some getting used to as it is not actually sung but rather it consists of a series of chants in a throaty voice and gestures with the hands or with the aid of a traditional fan.
Featuring brief scenes of nudity as the couple explores their sexuality, the film tries to capture the intense passion of young lovers who are enjoying the joys of sex for the first time.

 INTERVIEW: Singing Story, Korean Master's "Chunhyang" Comes to America
Chief among Im's preoccupations is the dying art of Korean pansori (an ancient musical art form) and indeed the film opens with two men on an empty stage.
The story is fairly straightforward, plotting is minimal, and the use of pansori in telling the story distances us from the protagonists' struggle.

Visually stunning and formally daring, CHUNHYANG uses the ancient operatic tradition of pansori, a narrative art that uses dance and song, to heighten the film's drama and to provide an additional layer of depth to the already powerful folk tale.
As for the film itself, the acting is a bit smug and Pansori narrative-style (a Korean chant) disrupts the flow from time-to-time.
The visual presention and realism, which is occassionally interrupted by the singing and the appearance of the singer, is not serious in portraying realism of the story but rather in many occassions comic and theatric(more exaggerated than subtle).

Western Pansori is his attempt to apply his knack for underlining visuals to a stand-alone instrumental piece.
The bad news is that Western Pansori sounds exactly like a film score -- it's all broad orchestral swellings and triumphant major chord resolutions.
The good news is that listening to film scores, while not as satisfying as a more engaging piece of instrumental or electronic music like Four Tet's Everything Ecstatic, can be a very pleasant experience.

My favorite kind of pansori sound is very similar in tone to daekoom except it feels as if daekoom was made out of human bone, dipped in tears for years, burnt over fires of war, and speckled with fading spots of blood.
