Synopsis:
The movie started with a girl, named Kyung-Jin on the verge of jumping off a high-rise building and then flash-back on the start of the story. The story started with Officer Kyung-Jin who has mistaken a school teacher, Myungwoo of thief and quickly apprehend him despite his protest of innocent. After the misunderstanding has been cleared, both are fated to meet again when Myungwoo became a voluntary to attached to an officer for crime prevention campaign and unluckily the officer is Kyung-Jin. The first half of this movie is about the meeting, falling in love with each other and when Myungwoo informing Kyung-Jin that if he were to die, he wanted to come back as a wind (the soul of the title). Then, Myungwoo almost got himself killed in a freak accident when their jeep veered off the cliff, but was quickly saved by Kyung-Jin.
Then, the second half of the movie tells how Kyung-Jin pursue a ruthless cop-killer from downtown club to a vacant manufacturing plant. During that time, Myungwoo overheard that Kyung-Jin is pursuing a criminal and rushes over to help her. However unexpected things turn out for the worse and will forever change both their lives.
Review:
To me, this is the best romantic comedy from Korea. I have never cried so much watching this movie over and over again. The acting from both leads are superb with the ever Jun Ji-Hyun giving her best performance in this movie while Jang Hyuk plays an innocent but loveable Myungwoo. Both clicks and the on-screen chemistry are extremely good. The movie has a good start, a good middle and a great ending. The whole story is extremely well told - we have laughter, a little romance, sadness, high motivation, action, forgiveness and finally a second chance. The whole movie was assisted by the greatness of the movie soundtrack make the whole movie perfect. As this is a very old movie, it is still one of my favorite movie of all time. Director Kwak Jae-yong has hit the jackpot with this movie.
Verdict:
A perfect 5 star out of 5. Any movie director should take some reference of this movie to make a good movie.
