Movie #1908 ........................."Tune in for Love" (streamable Netflix)

Movie #1908 "Tune in for Love" (Netflix streaming) This is the first south Korean  romance MOVIE that I saw (in comparison to the two t.v. shows I experienced) , and I liked it.  It was a bit long (again, could use better editing like the t.v. show episodes), but it had a strong theme --- it reminded me that everyone needs at least one person in his/her corner for life --- in this case it is a girl he met when he was a teenager, and he keeps running into her the rest of his life, until he can't live without her.  It's a haunting story, and it was very believable how they kept running into each other --- the bakery and the woman who works in it are the constants; they keep in touch through her or the place.  Once again, a couple of moments I missed, and again not sure why, but for the most part the story was easy to follow, but not handed to you on a platter --- sometimes you have to work for the meaning behind the scene, and I like that about the style.  I would give this a 4 out of 5 and recommend this, esp. as an example of this south korean romance genre.
