A RomCom Throwback to the 90’s Filled with K-Drama Moments
The movie follows a group of high school students as they navigate their way through the ups and downs of the 1990s in Seoul. They’re joined by a mysterious woman (played by Jung Eun-hee) who provides them with guidance and support as they try to figure out what’s going on. Along the way, they make new friends, fall in love and face some tough challenges.
For Yeon-du, New Year’s was all about her new love-at-first-sight. She was jetting to the US for planned heart surgery rather than going to high school with her friends, so she could focus on her new love.
Bo-ra, a friend for life, is tasked with tracking down Hyun-jin, who has been missing since her accident. Bo-ra will send Yeon-du updates on her recovery through email. She is committed to creating an experience that feels like Hyun-jin is right there with her. ..
In a film that feels very much like a tightened-up K-drama, we sneak around with Bo-ra, hunting for titbits about Hyun-jin. Fully focused on the result, she’s not above embarrassing herself to get the goods all in the name of friendship. And as she’s not particularly into romance herself, what could go wrong, right?
The film follows the story of a young girl, Bo-ra, as she navigates her way through high school and the coming of age process. While some cliches are used throughout the film, Bang Woo-ri manages to create a unique and engaging experience that will keep you entertained from beginning to end.
As a child, Kim Yoo-jung loved to watch the movie “Lovers of the Red Sky” and was inspired to become an actress after seeing it. She started out in theater and then in TV, but it was when she starred in the movie “Backstreet Rookie” that she really started to make a name for herself. Since then, Kim has starred in many successful films, including “Love in the Moonlight” and “Lovers of the Red Sky.”
Byeon Woo-Seok is a helpful informant and best mate to target Baek Hyun-jin played by Park Jung-woo. Much of the first half of the film centres on Bo-ra tracking Hyun-jin with the help of Woon-ho, ever extracting details for her dossier. This makes for an interesting dynamic as Woon-ho is always willing to share whatever he knows in order to help Bo-ra, even if it means sacrificing his own safety.
We follow Yeon-do as she recovers from a coma and begins to piece together her past. She talks to a friend, who tells her about a love story that ended in tragedy. Yeon-do is crushed by the news, but decides to keep going with her recovery.
Bo-ra (Annie Clark) is a 20-something woman who, in the future, has a powerful and inspiring story to tell. But as she revisits her past, she realizes that her story is not unique–every person has a story worth telling. ..
K-drama can be pretty formulaic, but Korean film often offers more surprises. Without giving anything away, it’s all sewn together at the end nicely with the mystery solved.
If you’re looking for a sweet escape during another season of turmoil, this one’s the bomb! ..
In the 20th century, women had to fight for their rights and opportunities. They fought for education, work, and the right to be themselves. Some women even fought for the right to vote. In some ways, the 20th century was a time of progress for women. However, there were still some challenges that women faced. For example, many women didn’t have access to education or work opportunities. In addition, there were still some laws that discriminated against women.
