Language barrier is not a barrier at all when it comes to Love.

I've seen a Korean movie after along time even though my logic kept requesting me not to do that as its my exam time. But I have to say that it was worth it. Though the movie has a theme which is very common in Korean movies but it has touched a few areas which are rare. I was praying for the movie not to end but it end and left me very emotional. The coordination and contrast between Japanese and Korean is shown in a good fashion. The story moves around a Korean boy who meets a Japanese girl in Kyoto and many events starts to take place between them which seems quite natural. Like many Korean movies it starts with the comic flavor, get romantic and becomes very sentimental as the story builds on. The ending is something that everyone like and hope to see. If you are an emotional guy or gal then you may feel a lump in your throat as the movie ends. It also shows a few things about Japanese culture as most of the movie events occur in Kyoto, Japan. You may learn a few words of Japanese language and get a good taste it. One may not be impressed by the story as nothing is new in it but its a very good pastime and I am sure you will be entertained and thats what a movie is all about, isn't it?
