SAD MOVIE

Ahn Su-jeong (Lim Soo-jeong), a sign language newscaster for the local tv station is both proud of her firefighter boyfriend and scared to her wits because of it. Lee Jin-wu (Jung Woo), Su-jeong’s boyfriend, is torn up about how to propose marriage to her. Ahn Su-eun (Sin Min-ah), is the hearing-impaired sister of Su-jeong , and works as a costumed park mascot where she meets and falls in love with aspiring painter , Sang-gyu (Lee Ki-Woo).
Jung Ha-suk (Cha Tae-hyeong) just got dumped and decided to start a “Hire Me to Break-Up With your boy/girlfriend” online service which helps him heal in the process lets him meet he. And then there's Yeom Ju-young (Yeom Jeong-ah) who is diagnosed with terminal cancer and realizes just how much her son is longing for her,with the help of Ha-suk.



What the movie grandly accomplishes with its simplicity is showing how life can be so complicated and yet so simple at the same time. With the intertwining plots that push the movie forward, I was delighted, surprised, confused, nervous, elated, and all sorts inside. But all throughout, tearful. Not just because of sadness, as the title implies. But also out of joy.

Writer/director Kwon Jong Gwan also did an amazing job with the storytelling. And kudos for the excellent star cast choice! It’s the perfect Asian twin of the Christmas flick Love, Actually.

I can’t wait to watch this movie again! lol
