Obviously from reading the summary you can guess that this love story will not end how we all want it to. Still, I'm glad I watched it once. The leads had a quiet love but because they had such good chemistry you could feel their love when thier just doing things together like cooking or magic tricks. The acting really was superb. The music was lovely. Even though the story is slow paced I was never bored.
Watch this only for Kim Nam Gil. The heroine's exaggerated, hysterical acting and crying seem very out of sync with the movie's quiet, melancholic tone. But apart from that, a fine movie. Ceaselessly depressing but definitely worth a watch.
And the lovemaking scene at the end is really hot despite this being a tragic love story.
