not a classic but worth it!

This is my first time writing a review for mydramalist...
not that I disagree with the others,
I just want to share how this movie has spoken to my soul.

it was not as great as early 2000s Korean romcom classic movies we all loved...
and can't even say that it could become a favorite for this day and age when people are so critical when it comes to films.

but I am confident to say that it has the right amount of fluff and melancholy to moved people's hearts.

for a hopeless romantic like myself,
this movie has taught me a lot of things.
likehow to be brave and take that step towards love!
do it afraid despite the uncertainties and all...

maybe I am just a little biased because I can relate to So Jung (Kim So Eun), a girl full of misfortunes and a failure.
and not even a good feeling like love could overcome the sadness, insecurities and confusion within her.

That's why when a miracle suddenly happened to her,
realities of life have stopped her to taste the sweet feeling a love and dreams can bring.

it began so silly that you might think at first that it's a frivolous movie,
especially that the concept is nothing new.

but most romcoms start this way.
the comedy wasn't strikingly funny
but I did laugh on some part.

but when it's time to get emotional...
you will just realized what is the real message of the movie.

personally I like tsundere style like Seung Jae, who perfectly played by Sung Hoon with his admirable voice,physique and visual.
I dig the push and pull game...
and when he decided to get in the zone...
you just can't help but fall for his charms!

therefore this amazing guy Seung Jae made So Jung feel so ashamed and lacking...
hence the confusion...
that's why the movie title is a question.

I can't belive how a love so pure can hurt two lovely hearts. Life sucks!

you might think that you have watched better romcom movies than this one,
well, you are definitely right!

but I love how the characters found the answer to the question.
and that's what makes this film...a worthwhile.
