[K-MOVIE] ...ing

Synopsis: Lee Eon Hee makes a fantastic directorial debut with this simple, poignant tale of young love. Containing a mother-daughter relationship that is as touching as it is unconventional, this unusually titled film centers on Gang Min Ah (Im Su Jung, star of A Tale of Two Sisters), a sickly high school girl who's been in and out of hospitals since she was a young girl. She rooms with her single parent mom (Lee Mi Sook), who encourages her daughter to live life to the fullest. Poor Min Ah is afflicted with a terminal disease and is not long for this world. In reaction to this terrible reality, it seems both mother and daughter have learned to stay focused solely on the present moment, since the future seems so terribly bleak. Still, Min Ah dreams of someday having a boyfriend, but can anyone really match up to her ideal fantasy?

Things take an interesting turn when a photographer named Yeong Jae (Kim Rae Won, star of My Little Bride) takes up residence in the apartment just below theirs. From the get-go, he does his best to make friends with the reclusive Min Ah, but she's not interested in being his pal. Slowly, however, Min Ah begins to come out of her shell, and a friendship blossoms between the two neighbors, a fact that brings much joy to Min Ah's mother and friends. Soon, friendship turns to true love, but with Min Ah's terminal illness looming over their romance, is there any chance for a happy ending? Find out in this heartwarming Korean melodrama sure to bring audiences to tears!

Personal Review: 2.5/5. Not really a good watch though the stars were good in acting out their parts. The plot was shaky and blurry where only at the end will you understand it.
