The All Time Korean Favorite Movies
Opposites attract in Windstruck, the successful 2004 romantic comedy/drama from writer/director Kwak Jae Yong, the man behind the 2001 box office mega hit My Sassy Girl! Jang Hyuck, star of such films as Volcano High and Please Teach Me English, takes on the role of Myung Woo, a mild mannered teacher who gets mistaken for a purse snatcher while chasing the real culprit down! To Myung Woo’s surprise, he finds himself arrested by Gyeong Jin, a gung-ho, tough-as-nails young cop played by none other than Jeon Ji Hyun, star of My Sassy Girl and Il Mare.
Although this hilarious case of mistaken identity is eventually sorted out, Myung Woo has to return to the police station only a few days later in order to carry out some “community service” by accompanying a police officer while he walks his day-to-day beat. However, Myung Woo is shocked to learn that he’s going to be following “Dirty Harriet” herself, Gyeong Jin! After spending the entire night handcuffed to his sexy, but dangerous partner as she chases down no-good criminals, Myung Woo begins to discover that he’s falling for the brassy, and yet, sassy law enforcement agent! But as a relationship begins to develop between the two, will Gyeong Jin’s over-enthusiastic police tactics get in the way of her love for Myung Woo? Is “Happily Ever After” even a possibility for these two? The answers to these questions and more are waiting to be discovered in Windstruck, a film which many fans regard as an unofficial companion piece to My Sassy Girl!

When the elder brother Myong Sok becomes plagued with debt, he soon realizes that his terminally-ill father holds the key to resolving his financial woes. Sometime in the past, Mr. Kim (Shin Goo) bought some property that is now worth 5 billion won. However, any dreams of inheriting that land seem moot when Kim’s future plans are revealed.

Il Mare (2000) | # |
Il Mare (International: English title)
Si Wall Ae (South Korea) (alternative spelling)
Synopsis:
The story begins at the tail end of 1999, as voiceover actress Eun-ju (Jeon Ji-hyeon) moves out of a seaside home named ‘Il Mare’. Before leaving, Eun-ju leaves a Christmas card in the mailbox, with a message asking the eventual new owner to forward any mail of hers to her new address in the city. Meanwhile, exactly two years prior in 1997, Il Mare’s first owner, architect Sung-hyun (Lee Jeong-jae) receives Eun-ju’s card. Thinking it to be a joke, he writes back to Eun-uo and asks her not to tamper with his mailbox anymore, while pointing out that the ‘current year’ is 1997.
However, after a bit of back-and-forth banter, all doubt about the magical properties of the mailbox are soon erased, and Eun-ju and Sung-hyun begin sending regular correspondence to each other. In addition to finding out that they are both kindred spirits, they come up with new uses for their unique connection: Sung-hyun is able to return a tape recorder that Eun-ju lost two years ago, while Eun-ju is able to send back a still-unpublished book by Sung-hyun’s estranged father. Eventually, they agree to meet in person—an uneasy task given their separate time periods. Though the agreed-upon day is only a week away from Eun-ju’s perspective, it is still a full two years from where Sung-hyun stands.
