Korean Movie: Windstruck

Police Officer Kyung Jin (Jun Ji-Hyun) met Myung-Woo (Jang Hyuk) in a not so romantic way. Myung-Woo was trying to capture a theif when he Kyung-Jin mistakenly accused him of being the thief. Somehow they were handcuffed to each other for a whole day and got to know about each other. This was the start of their love story. They went on a trip and got into an accident where Myung-Woo almost died but Kyung-Jin saved his life. After that incident their lives went on and their love deepened. However, death haunts his target and this time took the life of Myung-Woo in a crime scene where Kyung-Jin thought she killed him. Kyung-Jin was so depressed with the loss and was never able to move on. She promised herself that she would find justice for his death by capturing the person in the crime scene before 40 days and after that she will move on.

I laughed so hard at the first part of the movie especially when they were teasing and joking around. As expected of a typical Korean story, the second half was full of tears. Starting at the part where Myung-Woo almost died. I cried so hard in the end when Myung-Woo is already leaving earth. Kyung-Jin was so hopeful he would stay but he couldn't, too bad. The title of the movie Windstruck was taken when Myung-Woo promised her that he will become the wind when time comes that he has to leave earth and this was evident with the pinwheels all turning in the room. It looks so nice, I tried to make our little room like that but there was not that much wind coming from the outside. LOL

Just an additional information about this movie, this has a sequel Sassy Girl. It may not be a sequel but Sassy Girl is linked to this movie because of the progress of the story. Will be writing about it also.
