Heartbreak Library


Hey Everyone!

So, I watched a movie yesterday, but was too tired to post anything (honestly, I forgot to post something hehe!). Anyways, it was called Heartbreak Library. Honestly, I mainly watched it because I have a lot assignments due soon, and I just needed to stop watching dramas for a few days (till Wednesday!). Also, because Eugene is in it! I think she is just awesome all around! So yeah, this movie is mainly about Eun Soo and Jun Oh. ES is a librarian and often sees JO tearing out pages from books. One day, she catches him, and finds out his reason for tearing these pages. It turns out that he only tears out page 198, because his late girlfriend (ES doesn't know she passed away), told him that there is a message in a book she read on page 198, that expresses her feelings for him. Since she thought this was a nice story, she decided to help him locate the book (though wow, throug like 967 books - that's dedication!). It turned out that she mentioned that they had met at sunset at this pier type of place. He soon went there, and realized the meaning was also that it occured at 19:08 (showing sunset). Lucky for him, it was one year ago, so he went to the same place and time (though a rainstorm). ES later finally finds out that he went through post-traumatic stress disorder after the death of his girlfriend, and was finally getting back to normal because of her help to find out details about that girl. They go through a few adventures, and then finally ES realizes she likes JO, but that's when she finds out about the death. So, JO goes off to Japan to learn to make sushi and when he returns, they finally get together. It was a cute movie, and I liked it. I also realized how Korean movies are really long! But regardless, cute storyline, and the ending was quite realistic, since he went away and wasn't just having a rebound scenario (same with her, since she recently had broken up with her boyfriend). Before they got together, they resolved all their previous relationships. So, I give this movie a 5 out of 5 stars because of realistic-ness and sensitive storyline.

I'm off,

    Beautiful movie...but I didn't get the part in which she looks at page 196 of the book and he rips off a page in the sea...and also the words when he stares at his girlfriend's wish in the shrine. Who does say that? :)
