Korean dramas, or maybe I should call them romances, always attract me more than the Hollywood type. Some fall into the same general love story clichés. But quite a few are really exceptional for their genre.
They don't shy away from taking a different dramatic direction. They even purposely take this route I think. Which mostly takes them much deeper than your average Hollywood story. It makes you connect. Where with another Hollywood story, you would leave the cinema thinking about the popcorn that was exceptionally tasty this time around. Happiness starts as a sweet and interesting story about two totally different people, who happen to be at the same place at the right time. But it develops into a journey about life's choices. A lot of people have the dream of living a quiet live, in the middle of nowhere with their loved one. But is it enough? Will it satisfy you? Or do we prefer the life of a teenager. Partying and barhopping, while puking our guts out the day after. Where do we find our happiness? | ||||||||

I love non-hollywood type movies as well, a good change of pace. This film looks interesting.
I love Korean movies. Thanks for the great suggestion!
