Yeonpung yeonga (1999) Love Wind Love Song

Directed by Dae-yeong Park

Starring Dong-Kun Jang, So-young Ko

Tae-hee lives and works in Seoul, he has recently split from his fianc and is looking after his ill father. Young-suh lives and works on Cheju as a tour guide ferrying people around the Island, neither are outwardly searching for love but both are in need of it.

A gentle romance set on the beautiful Island of Cheju, Tae Hee takes a well deserved short break and he and Young-suh constantly bump into each other till he asks her to be his guide around the Island, a favour turns into friendship which gradually takes a romantic turn to love.

They plan to meet before he has to fly back to Seoul but when she gets there she finds hes already gone on an earlier flight, her friends and in particular her mother are quick to put Tae-hee down as someone just looking for a holiday fling but Young-suh doesnt give up hope, love has taken hold and she doesnt want to let it go.

Pure escapist romance in a beautiful setting, the film has some nice little touches such as Young-suhs English classes where the phrases she learns reflect the state of the romance and her feelings. So if you just want to chill out especially with your partner, this is an ideal film.
