When Romance Meets Destiny




This is a romantic comedy about two brothers who have very different philosophies about love.

Gwang-sik, the older brother, is very passive and shy; he can't always confess his love for his lover and hides when a rival appears although he has been in love with her for 10 years. Gwang-tae, who is 7 years younger than Gwang-sik, has met 70 times as many girl friend as his elder brother. He's the playboy and has his own dating policies---"don't sleep with a woman more than 12 times." He sticks to his own free style about life and love. They have one thing in common; they both never have said "I love you." Gwang-sik is because he was too shy to say that and Gyeong-tae never loved anyone although he has dated 70 women.


It is quite funny to see how these two guys are different throughout the movie. Gwang-sik fails to be with his lover, as he blows up some chances due to his passive character. On the other hand, Gwang-tae, intending to meet a slender woman, participates in the marathon race and he falls for the sexy Gyeong-jae there. A few days later, he meets her again and begins a hot and cool love affair with her. He is tormented by his policy that he should break up with her before sleeping with her a 12th time, but Gyeong-jae first bids farewell. Though he should be happy about her farewell, his feelings about her are unusually serious.

I didn't see this movie, but I heard it was really funny. I like both of main actors, so I'd like to see it.
