Ditto & Sympathy : Not bad, but not good either...

This movie is about a love story between a couple, each representing North & South Korea. Cho In Sung as Chui Soo, son of a rich businessman in South Korea, and Kim Sa Rang as Young Hee, daughter of a North Korean diplomat. Both with their very own agenda (one to get better school results and the other to escape a marriage proposal), crossed path in an archaeological expedition. Then, the lead actor fell in love with the lead actress.

I would think of this movie as an indirect sarcasm to describe the political relations between North & South Korea. There were some juicy humor here and there, but not good enough to allow this movie to stay in ones memory that long. And as I was almost pushing myself to the limits trying to recall the story, it would be really hard for me to recommend this movie to anyone. Not that its bad.., its just isn’t good enough.. even with the handsome Cho In Sung in it !
