A Man and a Woman

Best romantic movie ever this movie breaks my heart.

Having just watched the film, it is difficult to know what to say. Given that I am so emotional right now. I am not sure that I have ever seen a love story completely grip me so. The story is simple enough. And the dialog basic. And yet the acting along with everything else make the emotions and feelings of love quite real. A quite powerful film. If you like romance and love stories, you are sure to be caught up in this one. I hesitate to use the word "enjoy" here. Although it evokes feelings something like that.

Korean movies like this one can really get to you if you let them. This one is peaceful and calm with nothing sensational going on, even if the blurb makes it sound just that. Just two people, both unhappily married and falling in love with each other. This subtle mood piece begins in wintry Finland but moves to Seoul in the second act. Do Yeon is the mother of an autistic boy sent to a specialist school. Going Yoo has a daughter with her own problems. They meet when he offers her a lift. No surprise in what happens next, but I was always interested in the story. Excellent Do-Yeon has real chemistry with her co-star and they share some passionate, tastefully shot sex scenes. Gong Yoo is tender and gentle as the man who eases her pain. This is a very low-key mood piece that I am happy to recommend, just don't expect any over-the top, Hollywood melodrama.

The song says it best if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with. This movie quite literally was that in a nutshell. Loved it but dang sis made her bed and had to lie in it alone might I add.

It is not too interesting at first since only describing steamy affair of a man and a woman on marriage. But nearly at the end of the film, the movie finds its very touching part. Gong Yoo and Jeon Di Yeon are perfectly play their role in this movie.
