Plot
Simple, sweet-natured farmhand Seok-Jung (Hwang Jeong-Min) longs for a wife. He is certain that he has found her the instant he catches sight of lovely Eun-Ha (Jeon Do-Yeon). She is far more experienced and sophisticated than he is, a difference made starkly clear by her job at a sleazy café where she delivers intimacy and coffee to the guests at the aptly named Beast Motel. No one is more surprised than she is when his unquestioning devotion wins her over, and she falls for her impassioned suitor. Seok-Jung thinks he has found the perfect love, but Eun-Ha is a woman with a past that has resulted in an HIV infection, and her former life casts a shadow that threatens not just their marriage but also his place within his family and community.
Notes
What begins as a daffy romantic comedy of opposites attracting gradually darkens and deepens as writer/director Park Jin-Pyo examines the steadfastness of unconditional love and the outside forces that seek to destroy it. It is a graceful transition into melodrama, made all the more poignant by Seok-Jung's naiveté and Eun-Ha's vulnerability. The intense chemistry between the two actors ensures that while the latter half of the film is nominally about AIDS and the high cost it extracts not just from its victims but from everyone close to them, it is far more a testament to the bond between lovers. A box office success in Korea, the film received seven nominations for Korea's Blue Dragon Awards, winning for best director, best actor and best couple.
