    국가 정보 기관을 대표하는 아버지를 둔 대학생 철수, 현재 그의 삶의 목표는 오로지 여자 뿐이다. 매일 나이트나 돌아다니며 여자 꼬시기에 혈안이 되어있는 자칭 ‘선수’ 철수. 그러니 그의 학교 성적이 좋을 리는 만무한 일. 어느 날 그에게는 청천벽력 같은 교수님의 명령이 떨어진다. 연변에서 진행 중인 남북합동 고구려 상통 고분 발굴단에 참가하지 않으면 졸업을 시켜줄 수 없다는 것이다. 이 물좋은 한국의 서울을 떠나 연변으로 가라니, 철수의 속은 까맣게 타들어 가지만 졸업을 못할 경우 떨어질 아버지의 불호령을 견뎌낼 재간이 없다. 게다가 발굴단에 북한 여학생들이 참가한다는 소리에 솔깃해진 그는 단호히 연변으로 떠날 것을 결심한다.

    북한 외교관 딸로 누구보다 똑똑한 엘리트에 외모까지 빼어난 영희. 그녀의 고민은 빨리 시집을 보내려는 아버지의 성화. 겉으로는 모든 면에서 조신한 모범생이지만 남한의 랩을 몰래 들으며 줄줄 외우는 그녀 역시 보통내기는 아니다. 그녀가 남북 합동 발굴단에 가게 된 것은 그것이 아버지의 성화에서 벗어나기 위한 최고의 수단이었기 때문이다. 연변에 도착한 철수는 북한에서 온 여학생 영희에게 첫눈에 반하고 연변의 여행 가이드 일평의 도움을 받아 그녀에게 접근하기 시작한다. 하지만 도도하기 이를 데 없는 영희에게 접근하기란 쉬운 일이 아니다. 게다가 그녀 옆에는 한시도 그녀와 떨어지지 않는 혜영이 있기에 접근은 점점 어려워만 지는데…

    Love Improbable Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10
    In "Love Impossible", Jo In Sung plays Chul Soo, the son of the man who heads South Korea's National Intelligence Service. Chul Soo is a college student who neglects his studies while he throws himself into the endless pursuit of girls. Lacking enough credits to graduate, he gains extra college credit be agreeing to head up a team of South Korean students to travel to Yanbian, China on an archeological dig. In Yanbian Chul Soo meets and immediately falls in love with Young Hee (Kim Sa Rang), the daughter of North Korea's top military officer. Young Hee is heading up a team of North Korean students who also will be working on the dig. The upright and virtuous Young Hee will have none of Chul Soo's silly antics. Can Chul Soo overcome her resistance and win her heart? And can two people from such warring backgrounds hope for a life together?

    These kinds of improbable "opposites attracting" romantic comedies practically write themselves and the filmmakers here don't really try anything new or fresh. Through most of the film, Jo In Sung overplays his skirt-chasing character. Kim Sa Rang fares much better and the film's setting of Yanbian provides some interesting local color. "Love Impossible" is a pretty dopey affair, but it ends nicely.

    Not as funny as I thought Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
    I bought this movie a year ago because I like Cho In Sung. Somehow, I did not feel like watching the movie until today.
    I thought I knew how the movie ended and did not think I would like it. I also thought this was a laugh out
    loud movie but it is not. It is kind of like a nice romance story. The only few parts that made me laugh were Cho
    In Sung, especailly the part when he had his mouth wide open and water just drooling out of his mouth when the girl was talking to him,

    The ending is touching but not realistic. Honestly, I cannot see moving myself a very strange country just because I love
    someone.We are talking a lifetime commiment to a cause you don't beleive in and have to raise the kids that way too. That
    is like throwing your whole life away.

    North meets south Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
    Very Good Movie. North meets south, fell in love and find its way to be together again after 5 years, inspite of their cultural & political differences. It is also a story of how a playboy became a completely changed person because of the girl he fell in love with in a foreign land. Love every minute of it.

    Very nice Customer Review Rated Bad 7 - 7 out of 10
    Niceeee...movie. Again, this movie shows how they conquer their love regardless if they belong to south or north Korea. The ending too is very nice. The guy coming to North Korea because of his undying love for the girl asking her hand in marriage in from of policiticians, of course, in real life this will not happen. Very entertaining.

    Worth it Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
    THis movie in the beginning seems like any other movie you've seen with a playboy hooking up with an innocent girl. Cho In Sung (in the story) tries many different ways to get hooked up with the girl. She is from North Korea which is very different from any love story because Jo In Sung is from the south. As he tries countless times, she slowly falls in love with him. She knows that although she may love him, she can never be with him. Their relationship is found out and she is sent back to North Korea.
    First it may seem like a typical love story, but then part of it has political problems. For example the North and South. They can't be together because of this.
