Local weatherman, Lee Jung-Jae, has a car accident and wakes up with some minor holes in his memory, like who he was in love with before he got flattened by a truck. Pals from his college photography club try to help him piece it all back together, and lost luggage attendant, Chang Jin-Young, pitches in to get her mind off her own recent romantic misadventures. Being the stars, and having genuine onscreen chemistry, they start to fall for each other. But is it true love, or a car crash rebound? Slick, stylish,
and unashamed of being a crowd-pleasing romantic comedy, OVER THE RAINBOW
throws caution to the wind and spews shameless love confetti like the
big, candy-colored piñata it is. Its sugar cut with enough bitter
humor to keep things from going all saccharine, it's the performances
that make this movie a stand-out. The photography club is a rogue's
gallery of college kids all grown up, and going nowhere but to the next
bar. Lee Jung-Jae's eager-to-please dorkiness, and Chang Jin-Young's
"I just woke up" charm, are in full effect, and you'd have
to have had a lousy childhood for this movie not to insinuate itself
into your pleasure centers and start pumping out serotonin. Sliding
skillfully backwards and forwards in time, and as fun as being tackled
by a gang of cute animals, this is the most effortless romantic comedy
of the year. |
