Kim-jong-wook-chat-gi (2010)

Kim-jong-wook-chat-gi: Directed by You-Jeong Jang. With Lim Soo-jung, Gong Yoo, Seung-su Ryu, Chung-Ah Lee. Gi-joon starts an agency that helps people locate their long-lost first loves and Ji-woo becomes his first client. She is dragged there by her worried father, Captain SEO, who learns that she’s still hung up on Kim Jung-wook, a man she fell in love with on her trip to India in her early 20s. To identify the face of Ji-woo’s long-lost first love, the two travel all around the country and come face-to-face with a smörgåsbord of Kim Jong-wooks. After days on end of little success in their search, the agency receives a single fateful phone call: an inquiry from none other than Kim Jong-wook himself, hoping to find Jin-woo through Gi-joon’s agency. Gi-joon tells Ji-woo the good news but, having realized his feelings for her, Gi-joon turns and runs back to Ji-woo.

“Finding Mr Destiny was cute, but Iu0026#39;ve found it kind of boring. The idea behind the plot was interesting and it had potential, but it wasnu0026#39;t well executed. The plot was messed up and the characters did things randomly and irrationally. Especially the leading lady, who wanted to find her first love, but she always backed out and she was the one who made it hard to find him. It was actually obvious that this was based on a musical, and it would have been better if they had kept it that way. Also, the trap of not revealing the first loveu0026#39;s face and just replacing it with the main leadu0026#39;s was confusing. At least the ending was okay and the performances decent.”
