It was one of the first Korean films I ever saw. Guided by Darcy Paquet’s list of top ten films of the 90, this was in my first ever batch of DVDs from YesAsia. And although you don’t see so much of Han Suk-kyu nowadays (and nothing of Shim Eun-ha) they were among the top stars of the time.
A classic restrained Korean weepie. The only thing that grates is Han Suk-kyu’s laugh, as he tries to remain cheerful in the face of… well, this is a K-melodrama, so someone has to die in the end, don’t they?
The Roxy is the perfect place to see it. Get there promptly and snuggle up on the sofa with your beloved, or grab a bottle of wine and some cheesy nachos and settle in for a nice gentle two hours.
