Over the Rainbow (Korea 2002)

Jin-soo, a tv weatherman, met a car accident. Fortunately, he didn't suffer any serious physical injuries. However, he later realized that he has lost a certain part of his memory. He had partial amenesia.

Then, a vision of a woman came to haunt his memory. In order to know who she is or was, he sought out the help of his high school friends. But it was Yeon-hee who had helped him the most to solve the puzzle of his lost memory.

"Over The Rainbow" is one of the fascinating love stories that came out of the Korean movie factory. Although predictable and may lack the gripping mystery (that may or may not hold the audience to it), it is very enjoyable and has a "barkada movie" written all over it.

It has a great ensemble of cast that makes up for the somewhat simplistic style of the film. It is funny. It is heart-warming. It is a feel-good movie that would make you wish for a rainbow after singing in the rain! :-p

Note: Is it just me or is the song "Over the Rainbow" really such a sad song? Despite its words of hope, I feel some desperateness about it. :wipe tears:
