Finding Mr. Destiny / <김종욱 찾기> 2010

Directed by: Jang Yoo-jeong / 장유정
Release date: December 2010

Ki-joon loses his job in a travel agency due to his picky personality and launches his own business which is dedicated to finding clients’ lost first loves. Much to her father’s dismay, Ji-woo rejects a proposed from her present boyfriend. She claims she can’t let go of her first love, whom she met while traveling in India, and her father drags her to Ki-joon’s office. Ki-joon and Ji-woo begin their search for her first love, not an easy task as his name, Kim Jong-ook, is a common one. In the end, will love once again triumph? But whose love for who?

An uneven film, with some funny parts and some annoying parts. The interaction in the lost-loves-found office between Ki-joon and his brother-in-law is a hoot. High on the list of annoying, for me, is the theme of one person being obnoxious yet the other person managing to fall in love with them (the same for Hello Ghost and My Sassy Girl). My take: CD
