Yoon-ju is a graduate student of fine arts and is working on her graduation exhibition. One day, while she is searching materials for her project, she runs into Ji-soo at a junk shop. Watching Ji-soo in an odd place, Yoon-ju finds herself drawn to her. After their initial encounter, Yoon-ju once again runs into Ji-soo at a convenience store, and the two eventually start dating. Never having enjoyed dating men, Yoon-ju finds Ji-soo fascinating and becomes completely infatuated with her.
Our Love Story portrays the journey of a relationship between two women and all the little bumps in the road that every love story has. It's very intimate, and the film feels like a window in which the viewer peeps into, watching private moments. I love that the film doesn't go near melodrama-territory, keeping it more real and grounded.
Contrasting this show of great film making and understanding of the imperfection of a relationship is the fact that director Hyun-ju Lee retired from the business in the wake of being guilty of sexual assault against another woman. She was stripped of her awards and received a two-year jail sentence.
Genre: Drama/Romance. 1h 39min.
