Love Phobia (with Cho Seung Woo and Kang Hye Jung)
Summary in short: Guy and girl like each other since young but they only get to meet 3 times in 10 years because girl keeps disappearing without a word.
Comment: Typical melodrama which might be boring to others but I liked it thanks to the pair of charismatic leads. I prefer the first half when it’s light and happy while the later half is very heavy, but still effective. I’m confused about the ending; I think I got it but I’m not sure I got it right.
Side note: Cho Seung Woo and Kang Hye Jung were still a couple when making this movie. They just broke up recently. Sigh…what a waste; they are such a lovely couple.
Heavenly Forest (with Tamaki Hiroshi and Miyazaki Aoi)
Summary in short: Girl loves guy but guy just treats her like a friend. He realizes that he truly loves her after kissing her and it was too late already because she disappeared without a word.

Happy Birthday (with Louis Koo and Rene Liu)
Summary in short: Guy and girl love each other but because of girl’s stubbornness and insecurities, they carried an on-off relationship for 7 years. No matter what, the guy will always send birthday greetings the girl until...
Comment: My mind was away a few times while watching this movie. It’s a bit slow but I find it less manipulative compared to the other 2 movies above. The ending is not that shocking because they did give obvious hints during the movie. After finishing it, I feel bitterness for them.
