YesAsia Editorial Description

Directed by Park Heung Sik (My Mother, Mermaid), I Wish I Had a Wife is a charming romance starring two of Korean Cinema's most popular and acclaimed thesps - Sol Kyung Gu (Public Enemy and Jeon Do Yeon (Secret Sunshine). Released in 2001, the film makes no effort to jump out and grab attention, but rather pulls in viewers with its light humor, and the way it makes its characters' lives feel so familiar.

Bong Soo (Sol Kyung Gu) is a lovesick bank teller who can't get marriage off his mind. He records videos for his future wife, telling her how curious he is to find out who she will turn out to be. When he meets a former classmate, he thinks he's finally found his match. Meanwhile, a teacher (Jeon Do Yeon) who works across the street from his bank is secretly in love with him. After a few accidental meetings, she works up the courage to ask him out, but is rudely rebuffed.

그녀가 그를 부르고 있다, 애타게...
김봉수... 아파트 단지내의 조그만 은행에서 일하는 입사 3년차 대리. 직장생활을 시작한지 3년간, 아니 학교 다닐 때 까지 합하면 23년동안 지각한번 하지 않은 그가 어느날 무단결근을 감행한다. 이유는 단하나, 갑자기 멈춰 버린 출근길 지하철 안, 모두들 핸드폰으로 누군가에게 전화를 하는데 자신에겐 이럴때 전화할 사람이 하나도 없다는 걸 발견해서다.
그러나 봉수는 아직 모른다. 자신이 근무하는 은행과 마주보는 보습학원에, 김봉수를 바라보며 조그만 사랑을 키워가는 스물 일곱의 여자, 정원주가 있다는 사실을... 김봉수와 정원주는 매일 마주친다. 라면집에서, 은행에서, 버스 정류장에서...

Quiet tale of finding love Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
I love films like "I Wish I Had a Wife". They take their time to let a simple story unfold in a natural fashion and to let us really get to know the central characters.

Jeon Do-yeon and Sul Kyung-gu are splendid in the lead roles. Sul Kyung-gu is perfect as the all-too-typical male who desperately wants to find a spouse, but falls for the unsuitable beautiful woman with a past instead of the sweet-hearted teacher across the street. Jeon Do-yeon captivates as the mousy teacher who misreads the intentions of Mr. Sul.

Two moments in particular stand out in this film. First, the scene in which the power goes out in the subway car in which Mr. Sul is riding and, all around him, he sees the electronic glow of cell phones, as other passengers place calls to loved ones ... and he realizes that he has no one to call. Second, the heartbreaking moment when Miss Jeon tells her friend about her affection for Mr. Sul and that "he made the first move", when the viewer knows that she has misperceived the situation. These are wonderful pieces of film artistry.

I highly recommend this film for a general audience.

Another great Korean Lovestory Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Do you know the guy from "Oasis" ... Sul Kyung Ku ...
or the girl from "Harmonium in my memory", "No blood no tears", "The contact", "Happy end" etc.... Jeon Do Yeon .

Both really great actors meet in this lovestory. The story moves slow... but I`m sure you`will love it too!
