What I Think:
Kang Hee Jung – This is the first movie that I have seen her act or maybe I have seen her act in other projects before just have not noticed her or something. I have seen her on tv receiving awards. She is talented and beautiful! She has this certain charm that I cannot seem to pinpoint; she has this fragile aura like Im Soo Jung. Kang look so pretty! No wonder she has been raking in awards, her acting talent is impressive. I would be looking out for this girl in the near future.
Jo Seung Woo – I cannot help but like this guy. He is undeniably a great actor. He was impressive in The Classic and he did not lose his charms in this movie. He had undeniable chemistry with Kang Hee Jung. It does help that when they did this movie, they were really dating in real life. He does not look so bad himself. He is quite a looker too, I just think he is vertically challenged though. Hehe...
The musical score, wow I love the background music in most scenes. It helps you get in the mood for the scenes; it makes you happy and sad and mushy and happy kind of sad mode. I just love the music.
Then the child actors, young Ari wearing her yellow raincoat—oh how cute could she get!! Korean kids are just the cutest aren't they! Young Jo Kang too was equally adorable and they look cute together too. The storyline though I have seen this story a million times but I guess we all love a bitter sweet light-hearted drama. All the bad luck that happened to all the people who touched Ari I guess was not true there is more to the girl that Jo Kang cannot help but love her.
Rating: 9 Korean Kimchi out of 10
