Love Hurts. This simple statement expresses everything there is to know about Jin-ho Hur’s One Fine Spring Day, a movie that is about the awkwardness of attraction and the pain of a burning passion suddenly doused. It is about love found, love enthralled, and finally love lost.

They’re out in the country, although you wouldn’t know it by Sang-woo’s many electronics, including a cellphone and his job as a sound engineer dubbing voices for TV shows.
