More Than Blue


Was watching this Korean movie last night. Its called More Than Blue. If I were to know it was such a sad sad movie, I would not watch it. The sadness still lingers in my heart even when I woke up today. Still sad.

The story is about this guy, K, who was abandoned by his mom when he was 13 years old. His dad passed away a year before, due to cancer. Cream, is a girl who lost her family in a car accident. These two people continue their lives filling in each other's longings like family, friends and lovers. But K has less than 200 days to live due to cancer too. (It seems to me that in all Korean drama or movies, the lead actor or actress tends to die of an illness, be it heart problem, cancer or leukemia.) When he's gone, he knows she'll be all alone. K decides to find someone who can be with her for the rest of her life. Joo-Hwan is a dentist, a kind and gentle soul. But most importantly, he is a healthy human being. Joo-Hwan falls in love with her the moment he sees her... but Joo-Hwan is engaged. His fiancee, Jenna, who is a photographer, sleeps around and some how, K managed to get some pics to prove that she has been unfaithful to Joo-Hwan, hence asking her to break off their engagement so that Cream can be with Joo-Hwan. Jenna refused to initially, but she agreed to do so with a condition, that K allows her to take his photos. (Not sure why she wants to do that)... may be she finds it interesting to take pics of a person who is dying and trying to find a life partner for the woman he loves.

Well, Jenna didn't keep her promised and K had no choice but to reveal those pics to Joo-Hwan and the engagement was called off. It was heart breaking to watch the part when K chose the wedding gown for Cream and he was crying his heart out knowing he won't be the one marrying this woman that he loves all his life.

But the last part of the show, time went back to the part of seeing things from Cream's side. She actually knew what he was going thru and trying to do and as K didn't want her to know he was ill, she kept along the secret with her and played along with his wishes. But the sad part was that at the end, after he passed away, she couldn't bear to live her life without him, she killed herself to be with him, and the stories ended so sadly. I just can't seems to find the right words to use to describe the ending ( too emotional for me... )... but I guess this kinda love only exist in the movie.. in the wonderland... who would do such act in the name of Love.. ????
Anyway, enjoy the OST attached here. The OST is very nice. Don't forget to On your Speaker.
