Killing Romance

Yeo-rae (Lee Ha-nee) is an up-and-coming celebrity, moving rapidly from record-breaking sensation to singer to actress, and all the world loves her madly. Until, that is, her execrable acting in a terrible movie, complete with faux-pas gesture, makes her a laughingstock. She flees to a remote island, where she meets wealthy and handsome entrepreneur Jonathan Na (Lee Sun-kyun). In no time at all, they are married and seven years later, return to Korea for a business venture of his. However, he has shown himself to be a controlling narcissist who views Yeo-rae as a possession, which makes her very unhappy. She does not know how to extract herself from this situation, until she meets young neighbour Bum-woo (Gong Myoung) who turns out to be her biggest fan, and together they hatch a plot - or two....

It is almost impossible to exaggerate how charming this film is - part musical (complete with great choreography), part comedy, part poignant love-story, part adventure; well, part everything, really! It is easily the most enjoyable movie I've seen in years, and I know for sure that I will never look at tangerines or ostriches in the same way again! And yes, you must see the film to understand that last sentence; highly, highly recommended, and kudos to the filmmakers for their wonderful work!
