On the afternoon of August 1, many well-known film critics, directors, screenwriters, and entertainment reporters in South Korea couldn't wait to come to the premiere venue of "My Sassy Girlfriend" and prepare to participate in the movie.

This movie, written and starring Lee Jae-chul, has already whetted their appetite.

Many of them took the initiative to contact the connections in LOVE and sought qualifications through various ways, wanting to get a sneak peek. Most of the directors and screenwriters present also have a learning mentality, and in their opinion, those who have won the Oscar must be much better than themselves.

In the South Korean film and television industry, in terms of qualifications, Lee Jae-chul is only a fledgling, but his status can be seen from this premiere.

When the invitees are basically there, the security guards close the door and the venue is quiet.

Kwak Jae-yong took the lead on the stage, Lee Jae-cheol was one step behind, Jun Ji-hyun held his arm, smiled quietly, and the little bird was like a person. The crowd at the scene began to applaud, and the reporter hurriedly raised his camera to take pictures.

A good match.

People can't help but sigh in their hearts.

"Thank you very much, everyone who came to the premiere of "My Sassy Girlfriend" in your busy schedule, I am Guo Zairong, the director of this film......" poured nearly 10 minutes of speech, Guo Zairong said energetically, and the audience listened to it extremely boring.

When it was Lee Jae-chul's turn, his speech was much more concise.

"My Sassy Girlfriend is the joint effort of director Kwak Jae-yong, me, Jihyun and others, and it is of great significance, and it will not disappoint everyone. ”

To others, "significant" refers to LOVE's first work, but Jun Ji-hyun knows that it is more about her and Lee Jae-cheol.

Sweetness filled his heart, and the smile on Jun Ji-hyun's face became even brighter. This smile fell in the eyes of everyone in the audience, and the same women felt amazing, and many men even swallowed saliva secretly, itching in their hearts.

"Guo Zairong XI and Zaizhe have said a lot, I will not delay the time anymore, you are happy watching the movie. She smiled, closing the show for the premiere.

The scene burst into applause again, and Lee Jae-cheol and the three sat in the first row of the audience. The top lights fade out, the projector starts running, and the LOVE logo appears on the screen.

The premiere of "My Sassy Girlfriend" got to the point.

The subtitles float by, and the first scene is a mountain in the twilight, and a man stands under a tree on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance out of nowhere, and the narration sounds, it is Lee Jae-cheol's magnetic voice.

"Two years ago, she and I buried a time capsule here, and we met here two years later. ”

However, she did not come. ”

"Well, I'll keep waiting. ”

In just three sentences, a story is outlined.

As the hero and heroine meet, waves of jokes continue one after another, and many viewers already have tears in the corners of their eyes, wiping away tears with tissues from time to time.

For two hours, the venue was filled with happy air.

Although there were some small twists and turns in the plot near the end, the ending returned to a good one. After years of separation, they finally reunited by chance, and their hands clasped again.

The movie ends with the melodious "Canon" and the clip of the hero and heroine "bravely" entering the bar, and Lee Jae-chul's voice resounds.

"Destiny is a bridge between you and your loved ones. ”

The credits drifted by, and the audience remained silent, waiting for a song. The theme song that passed by in the promotional video, but was unforgettable, "I Believe".

“I believe

Not with you though

But it's not a parting either

……”

The familiar singing echoed in the venue, Jun Ji-hyun smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of happiness. In the dark that others can't see, Lee Jae-cheol holds her jade hand, just like at the end of the movie, with ten fingers interlocked.

The lights on the top came back on, and many people froze in their seats, similar thoughts flashing through their minds.

The filmmaker defines this as a comedy, and I get joy from it, but why is it a little sad?

"Lee Jae-cheol, is 'My Sassy Girlfriend' really just a comedy? Tears were faintly visible on her beautiful face, and her nose was slightly red, apparently not only because she had laughed too much.

"It's certainly not just comedy. Lee Jae-chul replied, "It still has love." ”

"As long as it makes you laugh, it does its job of making you happy. ”

"But if it can only make the audience laugh, and it can't remind them of the past and understand certain things, then it's a 'movie that can make people laugh,' not a comedy. ”

The woman was silent for a moment, then asked, "What do you want to express through My Sassy Girlfriend?"

"Love is enduring, love is unending. Lee Jae-chul said seriously.

"The Bible?" the woman wondered, then wondered.

"I'm just talking about the love of men and women, not that big heart. The man shook his head, then glanced at Jun Ji-hyun without a trace. At the moment, she is being interviewed not far away.

"The words of the sages that have been passed down for thousands of years, no matter where they are placed, always make sense. ”

……

By the end of the premiere, twilight had covered half of the sky.

Instead of choosing to go to a restaurant, Lee Jae-chul took Jun Ji-hyun to an old place, the Starbucks they had been to.

"I miss it. Looking up at the signboard that had been renovated several times but had not changed its style, Jun Ji-hyun said, "Why do you think of this?"

"It's a memorable place. Lee Jae-chul said with a smile.

"Hmph, just remember. Jun Ji-hyun grabbed his arm, and even through the mask, he could hear the joy in his words.

When you enter the store, the layout has changed from before, and it should have been renovated. There were several people lined up at the front desk, and the business was very good, and the two stood at the end of the line, no different from ordinary couples.

"A glass of lemon tea, a vanilla Frappuccino. "It's their turn to order," Jun Ji-hyun said.

"Pick a big cup. Lee Jae-chul added.

"I want a jumbo cup. Jun Ji-hyun tugged at his sleeve.

"You've been around for a few days, you can't eat too cold. ”

"I'm happy today, just this once, not for example. "She's coquettish.

"Frappuccino for a jumbo cup. Lee Jae-chul said helplessly.

"Okay, wait a minute. The waiter bowed politely.

After paying, the two of them grabbed their drinks and sat down in a slightly remote location.

"At first, I thought that a rich boy like you would like coffee more, but I didn't expect that I thought too much. Feeling the rich vanilla flavor in his mouth, Jun Ji-hyun said.

"Feeling distressed?" said Lee Jae-cheol.

"yes, my wallet was so deflated after that day. ”

"It seems like most of it went into your stomach, and I didn't eat much. ”

"That's what I don't want to waste. Jun Ji-hyun looked serious, "I knew you didn't like it, so I invited you to eat fried rice cakes, so that your wallet would be better." ”

"But to see you eat so much, to be honest, I'm surprised. Lee Jae-chul sighed.

"Ah, that doesn't count, I ate it because I held on!"

Chatting and drinking, time passes unconsciously. While there was still a glimmer of light in the sky, the two left Starbucks and headed for the Han River Bridge.

"The bridge hasn't changed much. Looking at the rolling Han River, Jun Ji-hyun leaned into the man's arms and raised his hand to brush away the hair that was blown by the river breeze.

"You and I haven't changed. Lee Jae-cheol hugged her slender waist and said.

"Hopefully it will always be like this. ”

"As you wish. ”

The last of the waves on the river faded, and the street lights on the bridge gradually lit up. Lee Jae-cheol pulled Jun Ji-hyun over and looked down into her eyes.

"I love you. ”

"Hmm. Jun Ji-hyun looked at him gently and tiptoed to kiss him on the lips.

The same place, the same people, the confession back then, finally got a response.
