| My Love |
"My memories of her are sometimes so real.
The present seems more like a dream. Memories, they’re like the wind, you’ll
never know how and when it’ll blow.”
One movie, 4 different stories of unwavering love and sacrifice.
Soo-jeong (Im Jung-eun) is a successful supervisor of an
advertising firm who falls in love with her colleague, Jeong-seok (Ryoo
Seung-ryong ) who's a widower with one child, despite all the rejections.
Se-jin (Kam Woo-seong) is a lonely lover who still lives in
the memory of his lost love Joo-won (Choi
Kang-hee).
So-hyeon (Lee Yeon-hee) A college student who's willing to learn
how to drink a bottle of sojo just to be right next to the one she loves,
Ji-woo(Jung
Il-woo).
Jin-man (Uhm Tae-woong) is a free hug activist who's travelled
the world and is back in Korean longing to reunite with his one true love after
6 years.
”You’re still stained like a tattoo in my
heart.”
I’ve read that this movie is created to the Korean version of the Hollywood
blockbuster hit Love Actually. I have watched both and I don’t think there
should be any comparison. Both movies were beautifully created and the stories
we’re unique in both ways.
In this movie, My Love, the director made little attempt to unite all
the main characters, which didn’t really matter since the different stories
were able to stand on its own. The characters were adorable and there is the
chemistry amongst the couples that would make this movie one of my favourite rom-com’s.
I was a bit confused with the flashbacks though. But it was necessary to nail
the present situation so it was justified.
The total eclipse and the wishing tree of hope which wrapped up the
movie were symbolic and heart warming. It was the scene that brought all the
characters in one spot with the hope of a brand new love and faith that it will
last for a lifetime.
This is a feel good movie that is sure to brighten up your gloomy day!
I would rate this 9 out of 10!
