Thirty-year-old Yun-woo bumps into a high school student in the elevator while on his way to work. His heart starts pounding at this teenager's boldness. At a subway station, KANG Sook can't stop staring at the long-haired, beautiful Ha-kyung. Ha-kyung breaks up with KANG Sook only a few hours after they first meet. However, KANG Sook has already fallen in love with her. Written by The Film Catalogue
I can see this movie being more effectively engaging to Seoulites than others because of the everyday-life-in-Seoul setting and also the slangs the characters use. I can't possible see translation conveying the connotations in the dialogues.
But if you are a Seoulite, you'll truly appreciate this movie. You'll savor little subtleties of everyday life in subway, district office, girls high school, and small uphill neighborhood apartments. This movie is all about savoring these little things. There is nothing new. But, when's the last time you watched a genuinely simple, quietly enchanting movie?
Even if you have read the comic book, you'll like this one. I read the comic book first, too, but I liked this movie a lot. The same essence is still there.
