Memories of a Monthly Romance Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10

I thought Madeleine was the name of the lead female character, but is actually a nostalgic bakery delight that evokes romantic reveries for lead blonde boy Ji Suk. Nostalgically this being a 2001 K-movie it also features a number of actors in early parts including Ha Jung-woo from “The Chaser” as an ex-flame of Hee Jin’s and E.T. Teacher Soo-ro Kim as the ‘Madeline’ baker. But main players are lovely Min-ah Shin (the sexiest ‘fairy’ in K-films) and actor In Sung Chou from “The Classic” with Ye-Jin Son.

Hairdresser Hee Jin (Min-ah the fairy) after closing up the hair salon bumps into old school flame Ji Suk on his late night paper round. Being head strong Hee Jin doesn’t beat about the bush asking Ji Suk to date her for a month and only gives Ji Suk a shared bike ride home to consider her date proposal. Ji Suk agrees to date for a month after they ride bicycles in the rain together. Being a hairdresser Hee Jin also changes Ji Suk’s hair color to a fetching blonde look (what is it about blondes with Min-ah, first Hyuk Jang in “Volcano High” and Cho Seung-woo here). But Ji Suk and Hee Jin are chalk and cheese. Hee Jin loves her computer game ‘Fortress’ where Ji Suk prefers classic literature. He likes to walk quietly through life; she’s the sprinting go-getter. Ji Suk though meets up with another school friend who asks him to attend her rock band concert, afterward asking Ji Suk of his ambitions and present dating situation. The girl having similar arty tastes causes Ji Suk to consider a date with her, but not revealing his monthly agreement with Hee Jin. After a school friend’s re-union meal Hee Jin then learns of Ji Suk’s fondness for the ‘other’ girl, feeling betrayed. But the real complication is when Hee Jin discovers she’s pregnant with Ji Suk’s child. Even more so when Hee Jin’s ex-boyfriend also believes he’s the father. As you can imagine, one life to the full monthly date here.

A well-written film of innocent school day infatuations revisited again by these two young adults, ‘living’ in sweet love and facing heartbreak and tragedy by their own actions, but experience leading them to mature love, happiness and understanding. It’s a ‘hopeful’ not a pregnancy-abortion film (a tragic outcome relates to an accident ironically), and the ‘sex’ is only revealed later by Hee Jin’s pregnancy. Music is excellent and the live ‘rock’ songs give an added luster. Romantic film, but caution should never be thrown to the wind.
