Yoon-Hee lives with her teenage daughter Sae-Bom. On a winter day, Yoon-Hee receives a letter from Otaru, Japan. Sae-Bom accidentally reads the letter and learns about her mother's first love, which she never spoke about before.
Moonlit Winter starts out like many films before it, but it still gets its hooks in you. Despite South Korea's yearning for sappy melodrama the film avoids desperate attempts at making the viewers cry, yet it has a strong emotional impact and towards the end it culminated beautifully accompanied by a lovely score. Great performances and a director who knew exactly how to pace the film makes it a great watch, not something that will blow you away but every once in a while you see a drama that makes it seem so simple to make you care abut the characters and that's always what I'm looking for.
Genre: Drama/Romance
