Eight individuals are facing seperation in their lives. The passionate fire fighter, tries to propose to his lover, but he misses his chance every time. In the meantime, she becomes anxious whenever she hears a siren. Suk-Hyun intends to break up with her jobless lover, Ha-Suk, and he begins an agency that helps other lovers to break up. Joo-Young is mad at her son's troubles in school, but she realizes that she has little time to spend with him. Soo-Eun, with a hearing impairment and a burn on her face, falls in love for the first time, but she doesn't have the courage to come out in his presence.
Not surprisingly, the title of Sad Movie sums up the whole thing. Melodrama has been the most popular genre in South Korea for decades, it dominates the film industry and Koreans simply can't get enough of the bitterness of love.
I usually don't think too much of these kinds of films, as it easily can get a little too sappy for my taste but Sad Movie hit a sweet spot. It got some very adorable moments and a nice soundtrack. If you think you would somehow enjoy a film that's all about the worst parts of a relationship, then you should give this one a chance.
Genre: Drama/Romance
