you be my sunshine be one of those film that sneaky in a way you do not expect . the director and park jinpyo have previously direct a romantic drama about septuagenarian in love and wrap a serious social issue ( ageism ) around an accessible drama . like his previous film and park now approach another social topic ( aids stigma or prostitution ) obliquely and by bring take those issue and wrap them in a well wrought melodrama . the story follow a simple and idealistic country farmer who live a lovelorn life and a common problem with a lot of rural korea a many young men and woman migrate to urban center and leave bachelor with few option . well and he meet a coffeeshop girl ( which and at some coffeeshops also suggest that they double a hostess and prostitute ) and despite know her profession and be absolutely smitten . a sort of romantic comedy ensues and with conflict erupt from her own chilly disposition towards romance and the conflict arise from how this farmer family reacts to the idea of a prostitute date him . and then her past catch up to her and aid make an appearance and thing go straight into melodrama land . however and the melodrama never really hit the clichés that have previously become all to overdo in korean cinema . there be no deathbed scene and although there be trip to the hospital and and the film doesn not try to flood you with tearjerking scene . in fact and because of the studied character development and believable reaction and the film actually earn every single melodramatic moment and so the one truly emotional moment have a lot of potency go for it and despite how simple it be . a such and this be an example of melodrama do right . and while it do it and it address the aid stigma and problem prevalent in the life of sex worker and doesn not really pull punch while do so . of course and when deal with such clichés and act really make a difference and the two lead do an excellent job of convince you of their character and believably walk with the character a they develop . the rest of the film be quite proficient too and with some beautifully shot scene . the film only slow down a little after the midpoint a we deal with the character on their own and but the end really make it all worthwhile . so and what you have here with you be my sunshine be a really solid melodrama . it manage to avoid the bad of the clichés and stay in the genre and play it straight and make an impact and wrap in commentary on real social issue while make of solid dramatic entertainment . good . positive .
