Movie Watch: Always/Only You (Korean Movie)

*** a lot of SPOILER alert - don't read if you don'want spoiler, you've been warned!!! ***

There's this Korean Movie that I've watched morethan 20times now and I'm not exagerating at all. I'm just the type of person that can watch a movie that I like over and over and over again. Well, the title of the movie is Always / Only You - Main characters are played by So Ji-sub as Cheol-min (from series Master's Sun) and Han Hyo-joo as Jung-hwa (from series Spring Waltz and Brillian Legacy).



Jung-hwa, due to an accident when she was in college is blind, while Cheol-min has a dark past - he's an ex-MMA and he previously worked for loan-sharks as collector.
They met during Cheol-min's duty as a parking-lot attendant of the building where Jung-hwa is working. She (after work) normally spends time with the old man who previously worked there - however, he resigned and Cheol-min replaced him. Jung-hwa doesn't know about it, so when she arrived at the booth, she thought she was talking to the old man - and that's when Cheol-min realized that she's blind.
The next day, Jung-hwa returned to the booth to watch the television series on Cheol-min's tv, and when she was about to go home, she was almost hit by a car and needs to be sent to the hospital due to foot/leg injury - of course, it was our hero who brought her to the hospital and sends her home.
As Jung-hwa's way of thanking him, she gave him a concert ticket (2),  but since Cheol-min doesn't anyone to go with him, she volunteered herself (and now we have their first date).
After the concert, they decided to eat, but due to Jung-hwa's talkativeness and insistence of knowing Cheol-min's past, he got irritated and berrated her for being too inquisitive. When they got to Jung-hwa's house - the air is a bit awkward, so he told her partially about his dard past. The next day, she started avoiding him.
After a few days, while Jung-hwa is opening her house door, her boss at work appeared and with a bit of force enetered her house. Her boss liked her so much but he's married, so he tried lto force himself on her. Fortunately, our hero arrived to give her something when he heared about the commotion.
As an ex-MMA, Cheol-min gave her boss what he rightfully deserved. Still, Jung-hwa is not happy, because she's thinking about her daily life (how she'll earn money and such). Cheol-min offered to help out, but due to our heroin's pride, she didn'accept that.

A few days after (again...), she went to the booth where he's working and asked if they can go somewhere since she resigned from work. (Now, we are off to their 2nd date).
On the day of their date, Cheol-min gave her a Golden Retriever, as her guide dog and they name him Dinga. While on their date, they each got a stone that represents each other , so if they're not together, that will be their memento. (Hhhmmm, looks like they are telling us something, right?).
They decided to live together and Cheol-min went back to boxing. On Children's day, Jung-hwa asked Cheol-min if he can accompany her to visit her parent's where their urns are kept. That's also when it was revealed how her parents died and she became blind. And Cheol-min realized that he had something to do with that accident.

A lot still happened, and that's the best part - so I hope you watch it for you to find out.

What I love most about this movie is how the story progress, their chemistry and how good they act - again these are just my opinion so you can make your own opinion once you watch the film.
