It’s a South Korean fantasy-romantic film directed by Kwak Jae-yong (creator of “My sassy girl”).
The plot is very very thin and is about Kyungjin(Ji-hyun Jun), a police officer who falls in love with Go Myung-woo(Jang Hyuk), a physics teacher.
The first hour is filled with couples attraction, humor, cooking dinner, dancing together in rain and vacationing in the country side etc.,like every other romantice movie goes… But the second hour is definitely the stronger, and where things get more interesting after Go Myung-woo is accidentally shot and killed. She gets depressed by his death and attempts to kill herself, but he comes back as the wind and stays with her…
The heart of “Windstruck” is obviously Ji-hyun Jun for her excellent performance as a cop, lover... and dialogues of this film….“I won’t be so sad anymore I’ll believe that you’re always with me. If you miss me, come back anytime. Even as the wind, come back as the wind” are so touching..
Director takes a risk with a plot turn that does not allow a neat, predictable happy ending and it makes the film more convincing and relatively unique.
Verdict: Emotional romantic story
★★★★☆
