Korean Movie: Love, So Divine (2004)
Love, So Divine is a story about Kyu-sik (Kwan Sang-woo), a fledgling Catholic priest whose ascendance to full priesthood could have worked out if not for his old pal Seon-dal, who causes him to make a fateful mistake. As a result the two offenders are sent off to the church in a small village to get atone for their errors. As luck would have it they run into lively Bong-hee (Ha Ji-Won) who has just returned from the US to visit her boyfriend. After the vibrant girl becomes Kyu-sik’s assistant, the life of the soon-to-be clergyman takes an unexpected 180 degree turn.
A lot of my friends have been asking me why I watch so many Korean dramas/movies. Well, my response would be: “I dunno”. Maybe I just want to look for something funny with pretty Asian faces. Anyway, like other korean movies about one guy and girl going through some tricky situations, this time, Love, So Divine involves a hunk and a sassy girl. What’s unique about this movie compared to others? Well, it involves a forbidden love because the guy is supposed to be a priest. And of course they will find a way to get together. Else, that’s the end of the movie.
My sister recommended me to watch this movie. So, I think it’s worth watching too. The best part about the movie is when they perform after the wedding. A “great” choir performance. Can we find it in anywhere else? Yar. You can see from the clip below.
