Even though I’ve probably seen every love story cliché play out on screen, there are just some films that never fail to give me the butterflies—no matter how cheesy they might be. This is especially true for Korean onscreen romances. They have a certain indescribable charm that I cannot resist. Part of it is in the storytelling, but there’s always the beauty of South Korea in the backdrop, which gets me every time. And let’s not forget the handsome oppas. I mean, what’s not to love here?
