Shinbu sueob (2004)
7/10
Warm and smooth romantic comedy
23 September 2015
Warning: Spoilers
If you search for a passionate-hot romance, this is not for you. This movie says the story of an emerging love from hate and fondness during time. This love goes against duty, loyalty and commitment to Catholic church. It still catches my eyes at 2015 even though I have seen amazing Korean movies recently.

I think the idea is not too fresh but the setting is lovely. It happens in a Korean quiet village when a modern sassy girl jump in to a church with two young seminaries who will be priests in a month. One of these seminary students try to baptize her while they gradually fell in love.

The side characters are amazing, too. The father is a lovely grandpa with broad point of view, letting the young man and woman get close. The nun is funny and better than all, the second seminary student who is Kim's friend is an attractive character. While he had watched porn and like hanging out with ladies (though it's never been clarified in the movie, he took a road to become a devoted priest at last. Somehow he finds it wonderful to live and work among people as a priest instead of staying in seminary and study; he is a man of practice.

Just it is a bit shallow at the end, I would like to see at least a kiss between the main actor and actress. And also a bit more of his pleading with god trying to avoid temptation before it. Briefly I would say that I preferred to witness more passion in the movie scenario.

If you like a well-made comedy romance for a lazy evening, I strongly recommend it!
