Tune in for love, tune out thereafter.

Tune in for Love stars Kim Go-eun (Goblin) and Jung Hae-in (he was also in Goblin as the baseball player, wow, I'm getting good at this, lol.) The movie revolves around their love story spanning from the early 90s when one of the few sources of entertainment included the radio (remember dedicating a song for your crush?),then came the email era in the late 90s, until the early 2000s that ushered in the mobile phones. Hyun-woo (Jung) always seems to have wrong timing with all his personal stuff contributing to them failing to keep in touch. They eventually reconnect and when Mi-soo finds out about Hyun-woo's past, it placed a question mark on whether their relationship that stood the test of time can survive what Hyun-woo did before he met her.

Having been exposed mostly to the fairy tale qualities of most K-dramas as one local director puts it, it's always nice to see the "normal" side of Korea. Minus the trench coats, bright lights, and extravagant cars, you can even mistake old Seoul (I'm assuming that's the setting) for Manila. The story was grounded, featuring two normal teenagers trying to make their way to adulthood. The cause of delays in their relationship seemed natural and not forced. While it was still too coincidental that they ran into each other again on multiple occasions (meantime I've barely seen my crush in PayMaya and we work in the same building),it's forgivable and let's charge it to "life has a funny way of helping you out." The conflict also seemed shallow and could've been easily avoided. If there was more to what happened in Hyun-woo's past which prevents him from sharing, we'll never know as we're left on our own to guess as we weren't given much to go on. Overall, you get the feeling that the writer wanted to flaunt more the musings the radio DJ is spewing (and they should because they're good, like how your mobile phone is like carrying around everyday a photo album of the people we love) but the overall story didn't hold up quite as well. You will still get what you came for but you might just feel a little underwhelmed.

Skip below if you haven't seen it, includes minor spoilers

Some of the notable takeaways and thoughts to ponder on include: Sometimes stupidity can lead to something romantic - like failing to give the password for the email account you created for your significant other so you can keep in contact. Mi-soo kept sending emails to the unopened account in the hopes that someday Hyun-woo would figure it out. You can feel the ecstasy on both sides when he did finally figure it out and saw the numerous messages waiting for him, and when Mi-soo finally got a reply. When Hyun-woo said he has pictures of times he considered as good memories and he only had a few hanging on his wall, it was the sweetest thing when he saw Mi-soo again after their fight and instead of rushing out to be with her, the first thing he does is take a picture of her. Since everything now is instant, it removes the thrill of waiting. Waiting for him to call, waiting for his SMS or email, waiting, and thinking of how wonderful the next time will be when you're together. On the flipside, with everything instant, there is no wasted time and you're able to make the most of the time you have together. Both with pros and cons, but people now probably will never experience how it was to wait by your mailbox for the next love letter to arrive.

slowpaced and...

Longlasting, with a message ever so important in our social media digitized society we live and have to exist in, though some try to avoid it as best as one can (miself),but big brother has decided that every information from the public shall be told or informed through a digital platform so to steer the boat in times like this is nearly impossible.

Its a teenage movie where anger inbetween tweeters blossoms and fatal things happens, and the film is about why, how and howcome things happened. Its a very well acted movie, them boy actors are really gifted specimens of the trade, and carries the film on their not so broad but sturdy shoulders. The story has some twists of surprise, but bombards you with message frames flipping and plopping the screen, screaming their messages of '' eder and galle'' in pure korean, a language i do not speak, and the cc's dont cover. Its also difficult to follow the speed that the brave new world of 1984 fuctions these days, the genre has come to stay, so bear over with me.

But most of all its a realistic framework of conflicts presented in this film so do you have time, see it. A recommend from the grumpy old man.

Weak story - only for fans of the 2 stars

What a weak and irritating story. They didn't even show his crime properly. Only for fans of Jung Hae In and Kim Go Eun. Actually they aren't well cast here. He is better in a sweeter role than this troubled ex con person. Not convincing. She has a rather blank face especially at crucial moments. Don't bother.
