Minding the corny-ness in my review title, 'twas genuinely one of those movies that grabs a hold of your heart and goes away with it. When I say I rarely cry watching movies, I really mean it, but this movie had me crying the Nile River! Truly BEAUTIFUL!! This movie was not only a perfect combination of comedy (let's face it, you got to love the stunts these silly lovebird children pulled throughout the movie!) but also taught a lesson, and that was just the power of love, how it could change (improve one's heart, rather) even the biggest of playboys known, in this case being Min-su (you know, the guy who thought he could get any girl he wanted???), as he is turned from his womanizer ways into a helpless romantic who fell for pure (but terminally ill) Hye-won's charm, and is helplessly drawn towards her. Even when finding out she was terminally-ill (and so was he), he still stayed by her side and dedicated to loving her and making her laugh until she could. With a sprinkle of comedy, romance, and a spoon of cuteness, through this movie Min-Su not only lets Hye-won experience TRULY living and love, but so does he, as he discovers the magic that comes with pure, sweet love. Though presented with a tragic end (Hye-won dying, which I truly hated), in the end, like the trees pictured in Hye-won's favorite photo in which she was a child, Min-su and Hye-won remained linked (spiritually and emotionally) through the power of love (the strongest force of all) that beat in their heart.
This movie simply beautifully portrayed just how powerful pure love is. And for that, I clap away.
