Summary: not enough talking
Review: I liked the concept and story (and the actress is pretty), but I felt like not enough stuff happened. Worse than that, stuff kept almost happening and then didn't. Mainly people who should talk to each other would just kind of look at each other awkwardly and then pass by. I especially wanted the main characters to talk to each other at the end...arrrgh! All in all though, a nice film. I thought the ending was fairly bitersweet though, unlike some previous reviewers.

Summary: A love story with some twists and some 'what-ifs'
Review: Incorporating the 'time travel concept', two ham radio students (boy/girl, of course) talk to each other on their ham radios, only to discover they're from different times. They discover they go/have gone to the same school and gradually develop a love interest. There are many other factors such as the respective male/female friends each have in their own present time. As the story evolves, we see most of the main characters are linked with each other, regardless of 'time-displacement'. To paraphrase another reviewer, the ending is beautiful, poignant and powerful.

Summary: A Sweet Drama
Review: Summary: This movie is a gentle love story that accurately portrays S. Korea in the 1970s and the present. Amazingly, a ham radio is the catalyst of the relationships and the cornerstone of the plot.

Acting: Yoo Ji-tae and Kim Ha-neul are fairly young actors, so there's room for improvement. Kim Ha-neul relies on her cuteness a lot, but she's getting better.

Historical Background: The symbolism in the movie might not make sense if you don't know anything about S. Korea's history.

This movie alternates between the present (2000) and 1979, a watershed year for Korean politics as the S. Korean president was assasinated. The '70s are fondly remembered by the older generation as a simpler time (albeit under military rule).

Korean male/female relationships: According to my native Korean friends, college guys and girls who like each other often flirt in a "mean" way. That's another cultural difference that Americans might not understand.

Anyways, all my girl friends have enjoyed this movie; I'm not sure whether guys would like it.
