I watched
Daddy Long Legs (on DVD, courtesy of
dear!) yest... And I must sae that it's realli the nicest Korean movie i've ever seen...
Starring Ha Ji Won and
Yeon Jeong Hoon (my current fav Korean actor! I wanted to watch this movie coz i knew he was the male lead), Daddy Long Legs is a
touching movie that borrowed its name from the famous novel by Jean Webster... Young Mi (Ha Ji Won) is a very cheerful and kind-hearted girl who was left to her own devices after the death of her parents when she was young. However, an anonymous benefactor has been helping her throughout the years by paying for her uni tuition fees and other expenses. Now in her mid twenties, Young Mi lands a job as a programme writer for a radio station wif the help of her benefactor. Not knowing who he is, Young Mi assumes it's her 'dream lover' like the story of the 'Daddy Long Legs' novel. She dreams of meeting her 'Daddy Long Legs' one dae to thank him for everything he has given her...
The sad
twist at the end of the story was totally unexpected, yet it was so moving that it made me tear several times... It is veri unlike the usual Korean weepies which go all out juz to earn ur precious tears. The acting put in by the male and female leads was
excellent, the story was realli moving and memorable, and the soundtrack was realli nice as well. On the whole, it was indeed one of the
bez movies that i've eva watched.
Anyone wants to
rent the DVD? I'll charge u $2... Haha... =P
