★ iReviews Asian Movie ★: SAD Movie

The love is connected through a lot of circumstances. Separation is another face of love.

Synopsis :

The film focuses on the stories about four relationships and their trials, pains, heartaches, and subsequent separations. The plot lines eventually connect in some way, but they remain unrelated for the most part.

The first story tells of a firefighter and his girlfriend named Su-Jung who works in a TV station as a news translator for the mute. She's waiting for him to propose, focused on the rationale that given his dangerous job, she likes the idea of him having to think of her, to hesitate for a while before jumping into danger. He, on the other hand, is waiting for that perfect opportunity, setting and all, before popping the question. The second story is about a deaf girl who works as a costume character in a theme park. There she meets a young artist who she begins to develop feelings for quickly; yet refuses to take off her mask in front of him for quite some time. The third story is of a mother and child. The mother was too busy to spend time with her young son, until an illness confines her to a hospital bed. There the mother and son begin to communicate more and more. Lastly, the story of a boy and girl who have just broken up. The girl's reason being that she needs a more stable guy with a good job. The unemployed ex-boyfriend goes off and finds himself a job helping other couples break up. Hoping that if he earns enough money, he could woo his loved one back. (source : http://en.wikipedia.org)

Review :

The film was based on as story of eight people. Each person is connected through some circumstances. The firefighter (Jin-Woo) meet her love (Su-Jung) when he saves her older sister (Su-Eun) which is also a deaf from a fire. Su-Eun met an artist (Sang-Gyu) in a central park the place that she works in as a 'mascot doll'. Then a mother (Suk-Hyun) is connected with her child , then coincidently connected with a desperate young man (Ha-Seok) who did a job as 'a person that helping other couples to break up'. Then Ha-Seok conneceted to the Child's mother (Suk-Hyun) when he has to give a 'message' that given by the kid to his mother at the hospital. And the young man itself (Ha-Seok) is connected with his ex-girlfriend (Ju-Yung) again ,when he has to send the break up message that given by his ex-girlfriend to himself.

Kinda confused to read huh? but believe me, when you watch the movie.. it was not that complicated. It is very easy flowing story, and i love it. But as same as the tittle 'SAD movie', it is a very sad movie because there is really no happiness in here. The story was package beautifully from the begining. But i kinda dislike the ending scene because i think its kinda weird. But i really like how the story is connected. it is very well-flowing and unique.

And my point is : this is really worth it for a 'female movie', because i think this kinda movie wouldnt fit to a man's head right?. And you got to prepare your tissue for watching this. Because it is really a 'sad movie'.
