Probably not the type that everyone will like

I have recommended this film to many friends.
Of course, after reading it, very few have strong reactions.
A more polite one would say, "Maybe I was in a wrong mood when I watched it." A
tougher one would directly say, "I can't watch it halfway through."
Indeed, the plot of this film is slow, and it can even be said that there is no plot. Gently, slowly, move forward.
Let's say it's a love movie. From the beginning to the end, the hero and heroine never involved a word of love, and they didn't even have a formal relationship.
But if you don't even count romance films, then it can't be classified, it's so simple that it doesn't seem to have a plot.
However, it made me unforgettable.
Isn't it love, so where does that faint melancholy come from?
No drama? So where did the last shock come from?
I have been watching this film for some years, and I have never rewatched it. Maybe I want to keep the original feeling, so I can't remember much about the specific details.
But I still remember that smile, the calm and calm smile on the male protagonist's face, the constant smile...
Maybe the whole atmosphere is the kind of feeling worthy of that calm ink painting.
Unforgettable.

Christmas in August quotes

  • Jung-won: [Sitting on a rubber tire in his old school playground] When I was a kid I always sat alone in the playground after the other boys had gone. Thinking about my late mother, it struck me that we'd all disappear in the end... my father, my sister, all my best friends.

  • [last lines]

    Jung-won: [narrating] I always knew that feelings of love would fade - just like old photographs. But for you... you will always remain in my heart, as you are in my last moment. Thank you, and goodbye.
