my sister is soo hooked up with these korean movies and i couldn't blame her. i've seen some really good, tragic yet funny korean movies. i wish filipinos could make such movies, hindi na lang yung laging happy ending. pwde naman yung sad minsan. it makes the story sometimes more convincing and realistic. yesterday she insisted that i watch this "daddy long legs" korean film and its not bad actually. next to windstruck and my sassy girl, its my third most fave korean film (not that i've watched a lot but i did have my fair share of those films). anyway, its got a certain twist into it. the story goes like this:

there's this girl who's got a ten-year crush on this guy and she's been following him around since high school to college (yep, she worked hard to get into the same college with him) and even when he was working, she also managed to get into the same company where he works. anyway, that girl got sick. she has this disease wherein she loses her memory. it didn't say in the movie what disease though but i assume its something like alzheimer's. so the girl wrote herself an email to be delivered to herself in a year to remind her of the guy that she is so in love with, just in case she loses her memory of him. then the girl went on a "sick leave" because of her disease.

here comes the twist. the main character, Young-mi, just got accepted as a headwriter where the girl and the guy in the story works. as one of the company's privileges, Young-mi was allowed to stay in the girl's place because she's somewhere getting cured.

Oh btw, Young-mi is the one with Daddy Long Legs (it is a book that tells the story of a young orphan girl, Jerusha Abbott, who is unexpectedly sent to college by an unknown benefactor who is a trustee of the orphanage where she grew up).

Young-mi receives the emails that the girl sent to herself. She meets this guy at the "morgue" (thats the terms they used for library) and falls in love with him, all the while intrigue with the girl's story. guess what? the guy she fell in love with is the same guy the girl has a ten-year crush on!

here's the other twist. she assumed that the company's director is her daddy long legs and when she confronted him with it, she was shocked with the awful truth. the truth is that: the email sender was not a girl but in fact a GUY and guess who that guy was??? well, i'm not telling. hehehehe..

oh, guys, you better watch this film! its so creatively written! and soo tragic! shocks. if this happens to me, i'm gonna go crazy, i swear!

***************************************************

in one of the scenes in the movie, when young-mi and the morgue guy were sitting on a hill, watching the night sky, he told her the story about stars.

"before, there were no stars at all. and then, the people learned to love. each time they do, their love was sent to the sky to become a star. that's why there are so many stars in the sky. because there is so much love in the world that we just don't know of."

and then a falling star appears in the sky...

i've heard this somewhere, i just dont know where. but it said that, LOVE and COUGH are the same- you can't hide it. i guess that holds true. you can't hide either talaga. but you can pretend...?? hehehe
