Well, actually the title says" The Guy's Book, Page 198". But I guess that won't sound too nice as a title, right?
Anyway, Lee Dong Wook....wah long time never see you on the big screen lah. And finally, a good movie. And with my Eugene, some more!
They look so good together. Such nice sparks when they're together (I am biased of course...whenever Eugene in on tv/dvd/laptop, my screen always lights up!)
The Gist:
Eun Soo, fresh after a break-up with a twit of a boyfriend, immersed herself in her job as a librarian. Day in , day out..books books. Bored and lonely, until one day, she met (or rather attacked) Joon Oh who was caught tearing up pages 198 from books in her library. You see, Joon Oh didn't realise that there's such a thing as a "Photocopy Machine" in the library....
Intrigued by his reason for doing so, she decided to help him.
Joon Oh's girlfriend left him, you see. And all he had was a postcard with the words "Look up page 198". But he didn't know WHICH book. With so much left unsaid, and with no closure to his relationship, he NEEDED to find that book so that he could understand her feelings and the reasons for leaving him.
And together, they set out to find her.....and by doing so, she helped Joon Oh release himself from the pain that had incapacitated him for the past months.
But....this is a Korean drama....so, that's not the real reason, and that's not all.... Lee Dong Wook's portrayal of a man with so much unspoken pain was so poignant, that I found myself wanting to reach out across the screen and wipe his tears. Such a chocolate brownie....argh...
Anyway, Eugene was perfect, as usual. I don;t have to say anymore about her absolutely perfect portrayal of a lonely, single woman in this world full of undeserving, pathetic, twit of a double-faced, full-of-himself, good for nothing, two-timing men. Oh...no...I don't mean Lee Dong Wook's character. Chocolate brownies are perfect, you see.
I give this movie 3.5 popcorns for making me cry when Lee Dong Wook cried.
Watch it.
