Why Are You Here?

A Season For Love

I have just rented this movie to watch but I'm too tired and lazy to write my own review because I just completed my IPPT test today and now my knee joints and thighs are aching from the 2.4km run and my right thumb hurt after bending it awkwardly during a basketball game.

What supposely thought to be a nice movie about lovely doodly feel good "feeling" about love end up in one "love tradegy" after another

Moral of the Story: Looks can be deceiving.

Story about the couple on the first top left hand side of the poster:

Ha-seok (Cha Tae-hyun) gets dumped by his girlfriend, Sook-hyun (Son Tae-young) because he has been jobless for 3 years. After a stranger approaches the depressed Ha-seok on the street, asking him to help her break up with her boyfriend on the phone, Ha-seok sets up an online “Separation Agency” to help couples break up if they don’t have the courage to do it themselves. His so-called business venture is a hit. While thinking that he is on the right track to patch things up with his ex, he receives a shocking message to deliver.

Ending: His ex signed up with his Seperation Agency to ask him to deliver a sepration message to himself that she has found a new love.

Story about the couple on the second top right hand side of the poster:

Jin-woo (Jung Woo-sung) and Soo-jung (Im Soo-jung) make your typically clichéd romantic and witty on-screen couple. The fireman is very passionate about his job and Soo-jung is a sign-language news interpreter who’s always anxious every time she hears news of fire breakouts. She longs to settle down but Jin-woo never really gets around to popping the question. And when he finally does, duty calls.

Ending: He died in a fire rescue effort on the day he is going to propose to his girlfriend.

Story about the couple on third bottom left hand side of the poster:

Su-eun (Shin Min-ah), is Soo-jung’s younger deaf mute sister who was saved from a fire by Jin-woo. She falls for a portrait painter, Sang-gyu (Lee Ki-woo) in a theme park where she works as a mascot. The lovable pair bring out a lot of laughter as Su-eun turns cheeky with her mascot appearance, all that without Sang-gyu actually seeing her face. What Sang-gyu thought was a game of hard-to-get was actually Su-eun’s attempt to hide her horrid burn marks on her face. But when Su-eun finally plucks out the courage to reveal herself, Sang-gyu shares a revelation.

Ending: The potrait painter was dismayed that the potrait he dreamt that could be the prettiest work in his life was ruin by the burn mark on her face.


Story about the mother and son on third bottom right hand side of the poster:

Ju-young (Yeom Jung-ah) is a workaholic who rarely spends time with her 8-year-old son, Hwi-chan (Yeo Jin-gu). Only after Ju-young is hospitalised and diagnosed with cancer does the non-existent relationship starts to change for the better. The heart-wrenching and emotional scenes between the mother and son depict a kind of love that can hardly be found elsewhere, bringing the movie to another level.

Ending: The mother died of stomach cancer in the end.

But overall the movie was quite touching. I like.

Btw, My IPPT result. Silver again.
