April Snow (South Korea, 2005)

In-soo and Seo-young, who are both married, meet in a hospital after their respective partners are involved in a car accident. This leads them to discover that their spouses had been having an affair and they begin one of their own. Their relationship grows as they approach each other for consolation.

April Snow is Korean melodrama done right, and one of the best drama films I've seen in a long time. It tackles an awkward subject when it's revealed two spouses are having an affair and their partners are left to deal with both their loss and infidelity. The melancholy lays over every scene like a thin sheet, and the sorrowful music plays on your heartstrings. Highly recommended.

Genre: Drama/Romance. 1h 47min.
