Tuesday, July 10, 2012
Some thing we never expect happens in this film making us remember this film for life long. Also one of the most touching story about one sided love finally getting full filled in a twisted way. Kind of, unexplainably sweet with the unexpected twist in the story...
Synopsis : Young-mi , is a young woman who has lost her parents and struggling to fend for herself. She receives the assistance of a stranger who pays her university fees and sends her gifts. She affectionately nicknames her benefactor “Daddy-Long-Legs”('Khidari ajjashi' or 'mister I wait for' in Korean)
After completing her studies and initially struggling for work, Young-mi eventually obtains her dream job as a program writer in a reputed radio station. On top of this, it has been arranged for her to stay rent-free in a nice house that the owner, a lady who worked in her Radio station, vacated due to health reasons.
One day, Young-mi receives an email from the owner of the house. The email was date-stamped to arrive at the house's computer on that specific day, though it was written and sent a year earlier. The email details a love story written by the unseen owner of the house. The writer confesses that she has secretly been in love with a guy since her school days, and the other details of her sad love life, in which she never gets to confess…and is now going through a memory loss disease, and that’s why she want to send letters to herself reminding her about the guy whom she loved. Young-mi is deeply touched by the story and decides to air its contents via the national radio program to locate the young man with whom the owner of the house was in love. The story is serialized and dramatized on the air, quickly becoming an audience favorite
If I tell you the twist in the story, the experience of you watching the film will be completely ruined. So just watch and enjoy...The twist is what makes it so lovable.
My Ratings of this Movie : 9.9/10
