"Woman on the Beach:" Koreans also can do "light" romantic

bittersweet comedies. What holds this film together is the natural acting and the original (when is the last time you saw this) insights into the eternal man vs. woman wars.
A man and his girlfriend accompany a well-known film director for a stay at the beach where he hopes new ideas will allow him to meet a fast approaching script deadline. Very soon, it becomes apparent the somewhat star-struck woman has her feelings returned by the director and, before a full-tide cycle can complete, they evade the third-wheel. They then return to Seoul but the director, realizing the void, returns to the same barren, off-season beach where loneliness (and perhaps that deadline) leads him to a woman he thinks bears a strong resemblance to the first one.
I know, I know, it's hard to become much interested in such but it's the mood of the film, not so much the "plot" which contains the charm.
Don't think this is a light film, however. It is as intelligent, clever, and wise a treatise on modern love as a piece of fluff such as "Sleepless in Seattle" can but dream of.
