Plot

Disguised as a travel agent, “Su-ji” is a government spy with six years’ experience who can’t reveal her career to her boyfriend “Jae-joon.” After she lies again, her boyfriend breaks up with her and leaves without notice, leaving her struggling alone with her sadness. Three years later, while chasing an industrial spy in disguise as a cleaning lady, she happens to run into Jae-joon. He’s become an international certified accountant, and seeing him throws her feelings into doubt.

Jae-joon has become tired of his girlfriend’s constant and suspicious lies. In one phone call, he tells her he’s leaving Korea to study in Russia. Three years later, disguised as a distinguished international accountant, he enters the NIS (National Intelligence Service) as an agent in its overseas branch. He’s a newbie who got a late start, but he’s highly motivated and takes off on his first field mission, chasing a Russian crime organization, when he runs into Su-ji. It’s shocking to see her now as a hotel cleaning lady, but his affections for her are as strong as ever…

Lying is part of the job, secrecy is the name of the game in "My Girlfriend is an Agent".

It is a must watch movie as far as I am concerned!!!

I cannot even begin to talk about KSW, he will astound you; the character he plays in this movie is so tragic that watching him is a bit painful. You may want to hug him, chastisize him for the choices he has made, and you'll definitely sympathize and cry with him.
Although the story is about pure love (does "pure" love even really exist in real life?) and sacrifice, I somehow felt (and it may just be the pompous me) a stronger connection to the movie for its human-ness (that is being human, being alive is a painful, lonely, sad, sordid beautiful thing).
Good news, I have stopped crying Smile I was starting to feel ridiculous...
I have read somewhere that people should have a certain distance when reading a book or watching a movie or whatever as not to get too involved. Personally I lack the distance thingy, a movie, drama or a book can affect me terribly. Sometimes, I have to skip to the end of the book in order to prepare myself for an eventual unhappy ending. Some days I just can't handle a tragic ending, so I refuse to finish the book, drama or movie and instead imagine one ending of my own. Talk about denial Duh
Anyways, I would like to know what movies and drama have made you cry rivers, and what exactly set them apart.]]> Chickencry

Anywho, I digress from my main purpose which is to tell all of you about this horrific drama I have watched recently called "the person I love." I was probably punished, for my reasons to watch the drama were not exactly pure. Hmm... I have this thing for men's eyes, well some men anyways like Yosuke Kubozuka, or Jo Dong Hyuk (who played in this particular drama ). Their eyes are pure poetry Big Grin and so... I watched "the person I love" so that I could once gaze/feed upon the beauty of J D Hyuk's eyes. However this drama was a serious drag, and the ending was insanely loose and inane. This is the second drama I've watched where J D Hyuk plays the role where he falls for a woman who has been betrayed by her companion in the most heinous, villainous way (usually involving rich unscrupulous younger lady).

In other words, stay away from "snow in August" as well, unless you enjoy seeing middle age ladies suffer. After all a woman in her 30s can only experience 2 things in a K drama, social stigma if she is still single(Hit here you go you spinister you) or betrayal/abandonment by husband if she is married... until the successful hottie (sometimes young lad) comes in and rescue her from her wretched life (unless she ofcourse dies from some mysterious disease).

I have of course watched some good,excellent dramas as well, but that's not what this post is about, haha. It is about dreamy soulful eyes and awful dramas. If you cannot resist both, then watch strawberry on shortcake (but heaven have mercy on your soul for your will never recover the time spent on this horrible drama... maybe only the tiny tidbit parts where Yosuke K appears on the screen will get you through; he's got both the eyes and the talent). Wow, I feel better now, finally unburdened after this long rant. I am out of here Chickendetermined]]>

    In remotest town which is not specifically identified. There is the Hotel Venus adjoined in the back of the Venus Café where people emotionally wounded and with a past are living. Chonan, who lives in the room #01 in an attic works as a waiter for the café and a handyman of the hotel. While he cooks and does the laundry for the residents, he lost his vigor because of his past that he has not been getting over with. The room #1 is shared by two residents; an alcoholic ex-capable, illegal doctor called "Doctor" and "Wife" who used to be an able nurse, now works as a hostess for living in the hopes of Doctor's come back. In the room #3, a girl whose name is Soda lives. She came from a deserted land where is no flowers grow and is dreaming to open her flower shop. In the room #4 is occupied by a boy called "Boy" who is left behind at the café when he was a kid. He always carries a gun and calls himself a "Killer" as he longs to be a strong man. Then, there is an owner of the hotel who watches over the residents, an old drag queen "Venus" who is mysterious and one-legged.

    One day, a drifter-like man and a girl come to the Café Venus. The man asks, "Show me the back of Venus". This is the password for hiding in the hotel and they became the residents of the room #2.

    A quiet man as if he would avoid communicating with the others and a girl who never smile. The man called Guy gets a job at the construction site and the girl whose name is Sai shuts herself up in the room with her meals left uneaten. Nevertheless, Chonan keeps delivering her meals to her room that starts to melt her mind. She becomes to help Chonan for his laundry service. Venus watches Sai through Chonan as he used to be.

    Boy who wants to be the strongest doesn't like the existence of Guy. He is irritated by the attitude of Sai who is interested in him while she treats Guy like a kid. On the other hand, Soda, who used to be cheerful doesn't look fine. Chonan realizes that she is worrying about something but cannot do anything but watching over her.

    Doctor and Wife keep fighting each other. While Wife tries to bring Doctor who loses himself to alcohol back to life, but as he watches Guy working without uttering any complaints, Doctor loses his confidence. Doctor no longer has his energy to fight with Wife and she finally leaves the hotel depressed.

    On Sai's birthday, they have a small party. Sai is too shy to overwhelming but enjoy the party with the residents. However, Sai breaks the potted anemone that is given by Guy through Chonan.

    Chonan who is worrying about Soda, finds out drugs in her room. Soda is doing an illegal job ordered by the flower shop owner telling herself that it should be for her dream. Cho Nan tries to persuade her to stop working for him but she runs him down as he has no guts to live, to say nothing of a dream. Chonan begins to tell her about what happened to him. Three years ago, just as he started to live his girlfriend, she was killed in an accident. Soda listens to his story without saying anything. On the next day, Soda is gone.

    Boy is fuming in the café Guy tries to sooth him waving around a gun. While they are jostling around, the gun explodes and the bullet hits Sai. Given first aid by the illegal doctor in the town, she saves her life. The accident leads to disclose the past between Guy and Sai.

    When someone opens their mind, the other closes their mind. Appearance of Guy and Sai makes the residents quietly living see their own life. Would the time come when they smile?
