Koreans are very good at switching from comedy to melodrama all within 90 mins ... the tone to the last third of Sex Is Zero was somewhat sad but it's something that happens to many girls.Originally posted by M©+square:I tot it was one of the saddest movie i've watched.

Originally posted by littlestream:Not a movie but was at the video rental store last evening. Saw this drama, titled "Save your last dance for me."
Extracted from yesasia website:
From SBS (Seoul Broadcasting System) comes Save Your Last Dance For Me, a hit new drama starring Eugene, formerly of popular band S.E.S.! Eugene co-stars with Ji Sung of the hit gambling drama All In, and the two play a couple whose touching love is arranged, and then disrupted by sudden chance and the vagaries of fate.
Soo Jin (Eugene) is a pure but unsophisticated woman who runs a small resort inn with her father. Soo Jin is just an ordinary girl, but her life changes when she meets a man (Ji Sung) who's completely lost his memory. She takes him in and cares for him, and even gives him a name: "Jan Ho". Love blossoms, and soon wedding bells can be heard. But on the night of their wedding ceremony, Soo Jin's father passes away. And soon after, Jan Ho disappears too! In the blink of an eye, the two people Soo Jin loves most in the world have left her. But Jan Ho has his reasons for disappearing: his real name is Hyun Woo, and he's heir to a large conglomerate. Even more, someone is plotting to kill him...

"APRIL SNOW" DRAWS ONE MILLION VIEWERS IN SHORTEST PERIOD OF TIME
The movie "April Snow," starring Bae Yong-jun and Son Ye-jin, drew one million viewers in the shortest period of time among all Korean movies ever shown in Japan.
The Japanese daily Sankei Sports quoted UIP, the movie's distributor in Japan, as saying that the number of people who have seen "April Snow" since its nationwide opening at 400 theaters on Sept. 17 had exceeded one million as of Sept. 28, the 12th day of the movie's screening.
So far, only two Korean movies -- "Swiri," starring Han Seok-kyu, and "Windstruck," starring Chun Ji-hyun -- managed to draw more than one million viewers in Japan. Sankei Sports also noted that "April Snow" broke the record of "Windstruck," which took 22 days to draw one million viewers, and once again attested the feat to Bae's unrivaled popularity in Japan.
"April Snow" is well on track to bringing in 1.5 billion yen (about 15 billion won) in ticket sales by this weekend, and is likely to easily meet the distributor's goal of 3 billion yen, said Japanese sources.
UIP is confident that "April Snow" will break the box-office record of "Windstruck," which grossed a total of 2 billion yen, as more young women are coming to see the movie these days.
Meanwhile, the movie's lead actor, Bae, said in a message sent via UIP that he was happy to hear the news that the movie had drawn more than one million viewers, and added that he was impressed to receive a positive response from Japanese audiences, as "April Snow" symbolized a new challenge for his acting skills.
