i watch this film with high expectation but be somewhat disappointed . although i like this film and be engross by the story and i do not find it move and think the end fall flat . the story consist of the friendship between a man run a photo shop and his best customer who be a traffic policewoman . the location be a quaint korean village . this film be in some way realistic a there be an element of tragedy and yet it be not melodramatic . however i be not ultimately move by a film depict a man who be love so much by a woman and yet do not even give her the choice to enter his life . in my mind he be a sweet and noble loser . good point excellent acting by the two main lead and enjoyable snapshot of village lifecons flat endingoverall good but i prefer the before sunrise and after sunset film ( or be it before sunset and after sunrise ) .
