Ah...I love this kind of movie. It's beautiful, calming and makes me think about the simple things in life.
It's good to be able to watch Lee Young Eun as a lead actress in this movie. She's so pretty and captivating in this movie. I don;t recall having watched Ha Suk Jin in any movies/dramas before...hmmm...doesn't his name remind you of a boarding house (하숙집) ㅋㅋ?
The Gist:
Yeong Jo, a graduate student, was asked to help a retiring professor organise his mount of books in bhis private library, so that he could donate them to various organisations after he retired. The job was supposed to take place during the 15 days when he was away visiting his son in the US.
Yoon Soo, the young owner of a flower/plant shop was asked by the same professor to nurse the latter's late wife's orchid collections back to health. Although Yoon Soo was good at what he does, he felt that he could have done better in other more respectable business. The professor thought otherwise.
During the 15 days of summer heat and rain, both Yeong Jo and Yoon Soo worked independantly, never meeting once, only communicated via scribbled notes and ones typed on an old typewriter (sigh....if you are too young to know what a typewriter look like, please click here).
Thanks to a cat names Dung Chi, they finally met.
Like all Korean movie of this nature, there's always a link between the two of them right from the start.
I give this movie 3 pop corns.
Watch it online.
