A new Cho Seung Woo fan, I had to see this film, and he once again blew me away. This film is wonderful because it really does portray classic love stories; both the past couple and the present couple meet and court in very special and sweet ways. My favorite moment of the film is when the past couple gets stuck in the rain and the boy breaks a watermelon open for them to eat. Without nudity or racy dialogue, it is obvious that these people are in love. The cinematography is breathtaking, the acting is top-notch, and the storyline is as pure and innocent as the main characters. We need more films like this! I'm tired of the "romantic films" that show two teens meeting at a party. This is a truly classic love story that offers a (albeit idealized) version of something we can all relate to: falling in love with that one special person. If you like foreign films, this one is a treasure. If you like romantic films, this one is a must-see. If you want something the entire family can watch together, this one is great.
