hyeon bin revisited

waaa...my eyes got a watery not because of dust but because of hyeon bin in a millionaire's first love. yes, i am a sucker for romantic movie plus those with handsome hunks.

i first mentioned him when i watched my lovely samsoon. and today, thanks to 8tv which has taken to showing korean movies every saturday night, i have a chance to grab this movie. actually this movie was nothing to shout about. it was anything but great. just a typical korean love story. rich boy met poor girl. poor girl changed rich boy's perspective on life. poor girl had fatal illness. poor girl died, rich boy grew up and became a man. read here if you want to know the details.

but somehow the plot just fits (maybe i was just mesmerised already) and the story ended just as how everyone expected one typical love story would end.

the part which made my eyes watery was the one where the boy gave the girl her early birthday present in the form of short notes all rolled up in a bottle (messages in bottle). the girl was supposed to read one a day but she rushed to open all because she was scared she would not live to read all of them. and she did all these while she was pouring with tears. so kesian.

this part made me realised the importance of words too...sincere thoughts which ought to be relayed more often instead of bottled up. why can't i be more expressive verbally?? that is not just me eh? putting them down in words would not be a problem. if anything were to happen to me next time, i do not want to lose my ability to express myself using written words. that would be so torturing.

anyway, this also reminded me...i have also received messages in a bottle before...about 7 years ago from 4S4. i still have them intact. ooh, that was so sweet of them. hey, people out there...do something like this for your loved ones lah. girls especially will fall for this man. old trick but still so workable.

ohohoh, before i forget to blurt this out...why must the female protagonist always be weak and meek to receive love in movies? i think this is a reflection of real life right? tell me if i am wrong. they must always be soft, gentle, and with at least shoulder length hair. i am totally out of the league. :'( there goes that handsome guy dream. anyway, it is a dream... so yeah, i can still dream just make sure two feet are planted on the ground at the same time as well.
