This film was released in 2003 (dvd released in february 2004, so it's not exactly a new film), but I just watched it two nights ago. It's a story about a girl name mina (Lim so jeong) who lives with her single mom, misuk (Lee mi suk). She meets a guy of her dreams Young-jae (Kim Rae won) and falls in love with him. Though I really think this movie was more about the mom and daughter than Mina and young jae.
...ing refers to the present continuous tense that used to express in english words. It's a simple and beautiful story, and I am so glad I watched it. The leads did an excellent job. Lim so jeong (the lead from "A tale of two sisters") is a great actress, she proved that in her previous film, and continues to show that she can play a different role this time. The soundtrack is also very nice (i have mine on order already). The film itself is so beautifully shot, you have to give it to first time director Kim Jin for doing such a wonderful job. I'm glad she made this film, with such an eye and mind to create this film....
I kind of regret that I did not watch this earlier. It's been out for over a year, and I never crossed it. It's actually out of print and no longer distributed by the publisher (according to yesasia), so I had to find another source to pick it up. One site had it, but I didn't want to buy it from them, as they tend to over charge, give bad service (and I didn't really know how good this film was). So I decided to drop by the local korean music/dvd store (usually my last option or when i'm extremely desperate to get it on the same day) -- and got real lucky to get this limited edition version. (the one site that had it, wanted $85 bucks + shipping). After watching this film, I wouldn't have minded paying the 85. It would've been worth every penny.
