A fleeting romance Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
Someone needs to explain to me why so many Korean movies and TV series focus on the fatal illness/doomed romance theme. "Christmas in August" definitely falls within this category and, fortunately, succeeds admirably. Early in the film we learn that photography shop proprietor Jung Won (Kim Suk Kyu) suffers from a fatal and incurable disease (a disease which never is identified in the film and which seems to have no visible symptoms). Nice guy Jung Won is in his thirties, but has never married (because he knew of his illness, perhaps?). Nice girl Darim (Shim Eun Ha), who dispenses parking tickets for a living, begins to frequent his shop, at first to get photos developed. However, something other than the photos begins to develop -- Jung Won and Darim begin to fall in love with each other.

At the same time that this romance is blossoming, Jung Won is making preparations for his impending demise. He writes directions for his father to use the VCR, a new technology that baffles him. He visits with his old school chums one last time. He writes out directions for how the photo development equipment functions. He takes his own memorial portrait. There is one preparation, however, that Jung Won is unable to make; he is unable to tell Darim of his condition. Then one day he fails to show up at the shop and Darim is baffled by his disappearance...

"Christmas in August" succeeds by rejecting the conventions of its genre. Director Hur Jin Ho shuns histrionics and melodrama. Instead, he creates a quiet evocation of two human paths intersecting ever so briefly. Both lead actors give exceptionally good performances. Shim Eun Ha was born to play roles like this; her ability to convey subtle changes in mood and emotion is superb. And it is such subtleties that form the sum and substance of this winning film. If you demand stories told with bold strokes, then "Christmas in August" may not be for you. If you prefer a quieter, more naturalistic approach to movie-making, then, like me, you likely will enjoy this film very much.

alright Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10
Knowing he didn't have long to live, he tried to be as cheerful as he could and faced death bravely. The male lead did well but the film is slow and very quiet plus a bit dull.

 Light love story Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
Han Suk Kyu is really different in this film. He is soft and caring. In this film, he own a photo store were he met a girl and became a friend. The girl started to be infatuated to him without knowing that he is sick and will soon die. What's really sad is that they didn't even get to say good-bye to each other before he die. Sacrificial love, it will truly touch your heart.

A gift for us all Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
This is a moving and beautifully quiet film of a young man dying and finding someone to ease his pain at the end. The scene where Han Suk Kyu looks out the cafe window with his hand out of focus trying to touch Shim Eun Ha outside on the street is hauntingly poignant. A beautiful film with great performances and production.
