A MILLIONAIRE'S FIRST LOVE. DADDY LONG LEGS.

A MILLIONAIRE'S FIRST LOVE

Kang Jae-kyung is your typical rich kid. He’s arrogant, drives sporty cars, attends the big clubs and rides through school corridors on his motorcycle. As his 18th birthday approaches he’s set to inherit his grandfather’s fortune, but first Jae-kyung is required to transfer to a new school in Gangwondo and graduate. Until then all access to his penthouse, cottage and credit cards is denied. Should he fail to graduate or drop out then he loses everything. With little choice he heads out to the countryside and a small town in which daily life is far removed from what he’s used to.

Shortly after settling into his new home he meets 18 year-old Choi Eun-whan, who just happened to run into him back in Seoul. They don’t exactly hit it off; he’s far too stubborn and cool for school, while she sees hope for him and sets out to make him see it for himself. As they eventually draw closer, thanks to a set of coincidences and school projects they learn more about one another. Once during the rehearsal of a play at the school, Kang Jae-kyung notices that the play is actually like the incident that had happened in his life. His parents had died at an early age and Kang was temporarily kept at an orphanage at Gangwondo, from where his grand father had called him back to his home. Upon leaving, Kang had made a promise to his childhood friend (also an orphan)that he would return again but hadn't until his grandfather's will read that he would have to go to a school in Gangwondo. But by now neither had he remembered his promise nor remembered that girl.

So Kang asks someone about the writer of the play and is shocked to hear the answer to be "Choi Eun-whan." and it is understandable from the movie that he figures out that he had made that promise of returning to Choi Eun-whan and didn't remember it all the while. They then grow closer when Kang Jae-kyung goes to meet Choi Eun-whan and the love story grows but soon a shattering revelation will change these people forever.

DADDY LONG LEGS

Young-mi , is a young woman who has lost her parents and struggling to fend for herself. She receives the assistance of a stranger who pays her university fees and sends her gifts. She affectionately nicknames her benefactor “Daddy-Long-Legs”.

After completing her studies and initially struggling for work, Young-mi eventually obtains her dream job as a program writer in a nationally-syndicated radio station. On top of this, it has been arranged for her to stay rent-free in a nice house that the owner vacated due to health reasons. Young-mi believes that her good fortune is the work of her “Daddy-Long-Legs”.

One day, Young-mi receives an email from the owner of the house. The email was date-stamped to arrive at the house's computer on that specific day, though it was written and sent a year earlier.

The email details a love story written by the unseen owner of the house. The writer confesses that she has secretly been in love with a guy since her school days. In order to be near him, she worked hard to obtain a place in the same course at the institution he was studying in. Although she didn't have the courage to introduce herself, she was happy to see him every day. The writer explains that when he got a job at a radio station, she followed him there. But then she was diagnosed with a terminal disease which would cause her to lose her memory and then die. The writer's greatest fear is not of dying, but of losing her memory, which is why she wrote the email to be sent to herself in the future.

Young-mi is deeply touched by the story and decides to air its contents via the national radio program to locate the young man with whom the owner of the house was in love. The story is serialized and dramatized on the air, quickly becoming an audience favorite.

Meanwhile, Young-mi meets Kim Jun Ho, who works as a librarian in the radio station. They spend time together and Young-mi begins to fall in love with him. Young-mi then discovers that Jun Ho is the love interest mentioned in the email. Young-mi decides to end their relationship, guilty with the knowledge that someone somewhere out there has been in love with him for years.

Young-mi also investigates her “Daddy-Long-Legs”, eventually learning that her current job and accommodations were the decisions of the radio station's director. She confronts him, but it turns out that the director was only acting on behalf of his younger brother, who chose to provide Young-mi with her school fees and asked that she be given her current job and his house to live in. It turns out the director's brother is Jun Ho, who is also the writer of the email. Jun Ho had switched genders when writing the email, and lost all of his earlier memories of Young-mi when they were students together and he loved her from afar; when they met in the radio station's library, it was the first time for both.

Young-mi is devastated by this news. She reconnects with Jun Ho and they spend as much time together before his illness relapses and he dies.

these are two of the best DRAMA movies that
i've ever watched! :D

i promise you, i really got my eyes SWOLLEN from
these movies =,(

A MILLIONAIRE'S FIRST LOVE is my very first korean movie,
and whoa! i didn't know that my first korean movie would have a
sad yet romantic story =(

Waah! i really cried at that time and i can't stop
remembering those moments when i'm all alone crying. hahaha :)))

when i was still a child, there was this program in tv titled "Daddy Long Legs",
i kind of watched it and then liked it. it was so dramatic also, but not to the
point that i will cry. it is full of hardships in life and how Judy Abott face it.

so then when i saw this movie, i thought they will have the same story and characters, but then they were not. most were changed but still some details were known to me, and the GREATEST difference of it is that the movie
made me CRYYY! huhuhu =,(

hahaha :)))

but in the end, i love these movies♥

more updates to come!
kindly wait.. hahaha :)))

GOD BLESS ^_^
