Neoneun nae unmyeong (2005)

Neoneun nae unmyeong: Directed by Jin-pyo Park. With Jeon Do-yeon, Jung-min Hwang, Moon-hee Na, Seung-su Ryu. Seok-joong, a farmer in his mid thirties falls head over heels in love with local tabang delivery girl Eun-ha, but the couple’s marital bliss is short lived as Eun-ha tests positive for HIV.

“The power of true, unqualified love to heal. Beautiful, sad, but finally triumphant. Sometimes heartbreaking, always inspiring, superbly acted and directed. A bit dated of course regarding HIV treatments and social attitudes, but also with the beginning hints of understanding. South Korea gets it right again.”
