YesAsia Editorial Description

From director Yoo Sang Wook comes his latest drama The Wind Mill Palm Forest, starring Kim Min Jong and Kim Yoo Mi. A young and promising lawyer Kim In Seo (Kim Min Jong) goes to a dockyard to investigate a case relating to intellectual property rights. In Seo sees Hwa Yeon (Kim Yoo Mi), a female worker who acts just like her male colleagues. One day she gets drunk and he carries her home on his back. There In Seo meets Hwa Yeon's mother, who is paralyzed, and Hwa Yeon's grandmother, who delights in telling him stories about how the family grows palm trees in the remote mountain areas where the plant cannot normally survive.

Told in flashback, In Seo hears how Hwa Yeon's grandmother married a local fisherman, only to then discover that he had a daughter, Jung Soon (also played by Kim Yoo Mi), just two years younger than herself. Her husband regularly beat her up, but she and Jung Soon became good friends. However, the good days didn't last long...

  兩年前,年輕有為的律師金仁錫來到一個偏僻小島的船廠,結識了一名女司機 --- 車華燕,仁錫被華燕的純真與美貌深深吸引,於是兩人開始交往。華燕告訴仁錫她的母親全順在年青時結識了船長,彼此也一見傾心。直至有一天,船要起航了,在臨行的前一晚,全順醉倒在這條船上…… 清晨,船長留下了一棵棕櫚樹,並著全順不要離開,一定要等他回來……但直到華燕出生,棕櫚樹苗也變成了棕櫚叢林,船長卻再也沒有回來,可憐的全順卻一直在苦苦地等待。華燕表示自己不會像母親那樣苦苦等待一段不真實的愛情,所以她不能接受仁錫的愛,最後仁錫只能逃往首爾……

  Two years prior, KIM In-seo, a young, competent lawyer arrives at a shipbuilding site on Geoje Island to handle a case involving patent rights. There he meets Hwa-yeon, who is working as a site transporter in the site. In-seo falls for her and suggests to her that they could keep a relationship going between them but Hwa-yeon stubbornly resists declarations of love, saying that she can't live her life just waiting for a lover, telling her that she is too preoccupied with her mother and grandmother's sad stories. Her strong hatred begins to center on the palm forest, and she wishes it would go up in flames. In the end, In-seo leaves Hwa-yeon alone on the island, quickly returning to Seoul......

Surprising and beautiful film Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
"Windmill Palm Grove" is a beautifully executed, multi-generational love story. It is, indeed, a moving love story wrapped within a powerful tale of unrequited love. For a non-Korean like me, it offered a glimpse into the class-consciousness of Korean society, but that is only a small part of this complex film.

In order to pull this off, both skilled scriptwriting and deft direction were needed and both are present here. This is a film that very effectively unfolds and becomes deeper and more engrossing as the film progresses. I recommend "Windmill Palm Grove" very highly for anyone who seeks an involving love story. You will not be disappointed in this lovingly acted, lovingly filmed love story.

Not bad Customer Review Rated Bad 7 - 7 out of 10
If your are feeling sad and lonely, suggest you don't watch this film because this is full of emotions and sad memories from the grandmother to the mother and to the daughter. But the ending is good but they could have done better.

A love story will touch your heart Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
Beautiful script, splendid sceneries, graceful music and good casts make a piece of literary and artistic work. Three relations out of three generations are all well presented during the 107 minutes show time.

In-Seo is a very promising young lawyer from Seoul. He came to Geojae island as a patent counselor of a shipbuilding manufacture and stayed there for a year. Hwa-Yeon is a young woman welder who works in the shipyard. In-Seo and Hwa-Yeon have been attracted to each other almost at their first sight. Their social status is so different…. acompany with the love story of Hwa-Yeon’s mother and grandmother, is a love story which touches people’s heart.

The story starts with In-Seo’s trip to Gangneung National University for a special lecture. It was cold and misty. In-Seo sank into his reminiscence on the bus ride towards Gangneung. The freeway uproar fades away when In-Seo starts his narration. I have to say that KimMinJong’s voice provide a very sentimental touch to this scene. It caught the audience’s emotion immediately. KimYouMi’s disposition fits Haw-Yeon’s character perfectly. This is a must see for love story lovers.
