Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

This is one of those films that leave you with a pleasant feeling inside. It is a mystery and love story all in one. The way the film unfolds is so delightful. You find yourself wondering and hoping at the same time. There is nothing dramatic in the story, but the drama nevertheless is there... in the ordinary unfolding of daily life.The two actors play their parts well. It is easy to act dramatic parts dramatically, but it is very difficult to bring out drama in everyday events in life. The actors succeed in bringing out the drama through the course of things that we do every day and yet take for granted. All in all, a fine film.Highly recommended.

This movie is adorable! I normally wouldn't see a Korean film since I don't understand Korean.BUT a friend showed this to me and I loved it!!! It is such a cute love story, sort of like a Korean "Sleepless In Seattle" or "While you are Sleeping". It is a story of a man who loses some of his memory and tries to piece it all together. While this is happening, there are flashbacks to the past. It is very intricate and you want to immediately watch it again after the first time just to see all the clues you missed in the first time. I'm normally NOT attracted to Asian men BUT the leading man gets MORE AND MORE adorable as the movie continues.The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is because nothing is perfect.

Very interesting movie about a weatherman who is slowly regaining bits and pieces of his memory after an accident, and the pieces are leading him on a quest to find a college sweetheart known only by him as "Rainbow." But he just cannot remember who Rainbow is. He was always secretive in school, so none of his college friends know the lady's identity. This is a mystery romance, well-acted and well-made. The "rainbow" mystery in a way reminds of the "rosebud" mystery in the movie "Citizen Kane." (This review is in regard to the dvd version with English subtitles.) The Korean film industry has another winner in "Over The Rainbow."

Well, I saw this movie on the flight Paris-Seoul in August 2002. I guess if you don't speak korean, the only chance you'll have to see this film is to grab a Koreanair flight... Unfortunately ! If recently in France, Asian cinema is getting stronger, it is more the japanese and chinese/HK/Taiwanese cinema that are getting the lion's share. Nothing much for the korean... It is the story about a guy who became partially amnesiac after a car accident. No big deal (except some embarassing gaffes) but he makes strange dreams about a girl he loved and whom he doesn't remember. His doctor tells him that this is a way for the memory to reconstruct itself, it means that this is an important fact, and that he should try to remember it. So our hero, who's weather man on TV, starts an investigation : who was that girl (whose face we don't see of course). So the movie is about this investigation. The guy is reconstructing his past, his college's years, but since he was kind of a secret guy, his pals, guys and girls, never knew whom he was really in love with... Obsessed with finding the girl he once loved to reconstruct his memory, he starts to see things differently at work and he doesn't notice he's slowly but surely falling in love again with a real girl, not a dream. And when he does notice that, he wants to give up his quest because that mystery girl doesn't mean anything anymore. Will he be able to embark in a new story and finding out why and by whom he was so obsessed in his past ?... As you guessed, it is a nice little romantic movie, but so far from the Meg Ryan's... Everything is done subtly and you enjoy being carried away in that story because it doesn't explain things like you're 12 and not knowing anything about human relationships. And people do not act like they are stupid teenagers who don't dare giving a kiss... It is not corny mainly because most of the movie is about reconstructing a past love just to know the ID of that girl, nothing more. And the present love slowly emerges from that, and when we become aware of that, other problems rise... Overall, if it is not very surprising (still a little bit), it is still very pleasant because the way it is done and very charming mostly because of the actors I must admit. Charming enough to fight the sleepiness caused by the jetlag... How many movies can do that for you ?
