Windstruck

Another nice Korean movie from Jeon Ji hyun in year 2004.
"Windstruck" shares the same leading actress and director as an earlier popular Korean film, My Sassy Girl. As a result, Windstruck contains several subtle references to the previous film. For example, a photo of Jun Ji-hyun from My Sassy Girl is visible on Kyung-jin's piano (while playing the piano). Plus the final scene of Windstruck, in which Kyung-jin meets her new soul mate (played by Cha Tae-hyun, the male lead from My Sassy Girl) on a train platform, is similar to the beginning of My Sassy Girl and her character from My Sassy Girl is distraught over the death of her true love.

Also, when Kyung-jin is chasing Sin Chang-su she tells a random citizen to act as a steppingstone to climb over the wall just like when she accidentally steps on a runaway soldier (played by the same actor) when she and Tae-hyun visited the amusement park during her birthday.

Kyungjin plays the piano in both movies.


Windstruck opens with Gyeong-jin (Jeon Ji Hyun), a tough cop with a take-no-prisoners attitude, in pursuit of a purse snatcher. Unfortunately, she ends up arresting the wrong man, a meek high school teacher named Myung-woo (Jang Hyuk). Luckily, the confusion is cleared up, but to Myung-woo's chagrin, he ends up being paired with 'Dirty Harriet' again a few nights later while taking part in a voluntary patrol program.

But after spending an evening handcuffed to Gyeong-jin while chasing bad guys, Myung-woo finds himself helplessly smitten by the fierce beauty.

However, like every other Korean romantic melodrama, 'happily ever after' seems hopelessly out of reach when Gyeong-jin's gung-ho police work collides head-on with Myung-woo's penchant for chivalry.


What surprise me in this film?(Most touching scene)

In the first half of the film, Myung-woo told that his only memory of high school was his high school trip. The book and the photo is found and returned to Kyung-jin in the police station. The photo showed that on Myung-woo's trip, Kyung-jin was nearby. This proved Myung-woo's "I'm always beside you" was true to Kyung-jin. Kyung-jin rushed out to locate the finder of the book, ultimately ending up in the train station, where she is saved by Cha Tae-Hyun's character (credited as The Guy). Myung-woo whispered that The Guy is the one with the soul like him. Kyung-jin whispers that "he is always beside her."

There is one part where Kjung jin and Myung-Woo are dancing under the rain.
