A roundup of classic Korean romance films: moving love stories (1–10)
Rain and You
Rain and Your Story is a Korean romance film released in 2021, starring Kang Ha-neul and Chun Woo-hee.
The story begins with a letter sent to a deceased friend.
Two people who have never seen each other exchange letters only on rainy days.
As they share updates about their lives and write about their worries, the letters they trade on rainy days gradually bring their hearts closer together.
Will the two finally meet in the end? In an age where messages can be exchanged instantly, this film reminds us of the warmth and importance of feelings conveyed through handwritten letters.
Introduction to Architecture
Misunderstandings are a part of romance, aren’t they? With that in mind, I’d like to introduce a film called “Architecture 101.” In it, a male architect played by Uhm Tae-woong is commissioned for a job by the woman he had a crush on during their student days.
This becomes the catalyst for them to grow closer and resolve the misunderstandings from their past.
Incidentally, the director, Lee Yong-ju, graduated from an architecture program, so the story may be based on his own experiences.
Keep that in mind as you watch.
Love Again: The Second Proposal
Starring Kwon Sang-woo, “Love, Again: A Second Proposal” is a lively romantic comedy that’s full of ups and downs yet fun and uplifting.
Although the divorced couple thought they would never see each other again, they keep crossing paths and overcome various problems together.
But then a new romance sparks a love triangle?! The highlight is watching how the relationships between the men and women evolve.
It’s a great pick when you want a relaxing movie that makes you think about divorce, marriage, and love.
My Wolf Boy
Song Joong-ki has appeared in many major hits, and he has a lot of fans.
One of his early-career works is A Werewolf Boy.
It tells the story of a boy who behaves like a wolf and the girl who takes him in, depicting their romance.
It’s also a film with a theme of family love, so it’s recommended for fans of human dramas as well.
Enjoy watching as the boy’s mysteries are gradually revealed, keeping you on the edge of your seat.
New Year Blues
Many people may not have seen a romance film in the ensemble style.
That’s why I’d like to recommend New Year Blues.
It’s a comedy that depicts the chaos that unfolds between Christmas and New Year’s.
The protagonists are four couples, with their individual stories presented in alternating segments.
It’s a must-see for fans of ensemble comedies.
Another highlight is the star-studded cast, including Yoo In-na.
