- “내 과거의 사랑은 비록 모두 실패로 끝났지만 아직도 사랑은 유효하다”
완벽한 여인을 찾아 헤맨 나머지 31살 평생 제대로 된 연애 한번 해 보지 못한 소설가 구주월(하정우). 그런 그의 앞에 모든 게 완벽한 여인 희진(공효진)이 나타난다. 첫 눈에 그녀의 포로가 되어 버린 주월은 모든 수단을 동원하여 희진을 자신의 여자로 만들기 위해 애쓴다. 그런 주월의 순수하고 귀여운 모습에 희진도 조금씩 마음을 열기 시작한다.
“내 사랑, 널 위해서라면 폭발하는 화산 속으로도 뛰어들 수 있을 것 같아”
드디어 시작된 그녀와의 연애! 그녀를 위해서라면 목숨도 아깝지 않은 주월은 끓어오르는 사랑과 넘치는 창작열에 마냥 행복하기만 하다. 그러나 시간이 갈수록 그녀의 괴상한 취미, 남다른 식성, 인정하기 싫은 과거 등 완벽할 거라고만 생각했던 희진의 단점이 하나 둘씩 마음에 거슬리기 시작하는데...
“그런데… 하나만 물어보자. 도대체 내가 몇 번째야?”
하나부터 열까지 쿨하지 못한 이 남자, 모든 고비를 이겨내고 평생 꿈꿔왔던 연애에 성공할 수 있을까?
Nobody's perfect.
We use that excuse on ourselves many times.
But we're not so lenient when it comes to allowing others to be the beneficiary of this timeless idiom.
Especially when it comes to relationships.
We do have a tendency to come up with excuses.
Ha Jeong-woo plays the male lead
The movie starts off as a scene or a chapter
from the male writer's novel, a work in progress.
a work that has been in progress for a long time.
Even his female characters have doubts about
what he writes about the female psyche.
He has very little experience in love and relationships.
Just one of the many reasons why he has been suffering from a writer's block.
Friends suggest falling in love again, for the first time in a long while.
Or perhaps... just simply for the first time as it might fuel his creative drive.
Interesting bits are the flashbacks of the writer's past.
He was very mature for someone his age when he was a kid.
But that can come across as being bizarre or perverted.
The fine print is... act your age,,, or you will become an outcast
Perhaps something the director was trying to hint at.
Things take a turn for the better for our writer... when he meets a girl... who grew up in Alaska
Here's a song sang by the actors themselves...
Alaska
The girl of Ha Jeong-woo's character's dreams
is played by Gong Hyo-jin..
They meet by chance and he is smitten by her!
He is extremely awkward around girls.
Not the most suave dater.
But she is different.
She looks beyond the exterior
and she is extremely direct and cuts to the chase.
Another reason for him to love her.
But as time progresses,
he finds flaws... and more reasons not to be with her
We did mention she's from Alaska...
and apparently,,. according to her,..
they do not shave their underarms..
And that bushiness really should have been a hint for him to decide
if he can go on with this relationship.
Sometimes, we see the signs... that say DANGER
or NOT SUITABLE for YOU!!!
But we ignore them and later use them as weapons for breaking up with someone.
Initially he loves her even for all the fur in the pits.
But how fickle and frivolous love can be.
Basically the story's the opposite of what you've experienced in
the movie I've reviewed last week, Architecture 101!
I send you off with a song that's a little different from the hue and ambience of the entire movie, but it is played at the right time.
Inside of Me by Taru.
Talk to you next week!
