hyung tae is a young man, working his guts out for his game company.. he spends all his time in front of the computer.. literally married to his games. he has no interest in relationships although he has quite a few admirers... he has no time for that even, as he is lacking behind time and his production team is lagging... the new game that he has created.. it either makes or breaks his career.
"who r u?" is a new chat game.. where everyone gets an avatar and involves in some 3-d chatting environment with their chat partners.. they can even tour virtual places which feature the real seoul city layout in the game.. when they recruited beta testers for the game... hyung tae comes across a nickname "byulee"... and develops interest with this tester..
in ju works in an aquarium, dressed up as a mermaid to clean the tanks... she was once a very good swimmer.. but an accident left her deaf. with her hearing aid, she is cold, quiet and very reluctant to interact with people. she did not want to play "who r u" at first..but eventually when she did.. she was approached by "mello" .. and as time goes by.. she began to find a good friend and confidante in him....
hyung tae (mello).. unable to contain his curiosity.. managed to find out from "byulee" that they are in fact working in the same building.. aiming to make byulee fall in love with the game and with mello... he went to find her.. and after knowing in ju... he was so mesmerized by her independence and her take on life... he finally falls in love for the first time.. in ju however have a less-impressive impression of him.. and made it known to "mello"... especially when hyung tae desperately tries to convince her that people on the net are not to be trusted... she gets even more irritated... although at the same time... she finds herself attracted to hyung tae as well.. hyung tae himself is frustrated too... does in ju likes mello or him?
when byulee asks to meet.. hyung tae is torn between his identities...
actually when i watched the movie yesterday night on scv.. i had missed half of it... when i watched, hyung tae had already fallen in love with in ju... haha... not exactly the freshest idea for a movie.. but it's always nice to watch something sweet... i think hyung tae is easier to identify with... he is both confused and afraid... both his identities are in conflict with each other.. one being in ju's confidante, the other a loser in her eyes. he tried hard to play down "mello" but made things worse instead.
in ju is quite my favourite kind of female lead... weird tempered, resistent to life and very very enclosed. it's funny to see how she always just take off her hearing aid when hyung tae says something bad about mello.. (although very sad for him) and finally.. when she found out that mello is in fact hyung tae.. she runs away and sobs miserably. hyung tae mistakes that for her disappointment and asked her if she was angry because mello turned out to be a loser. she gets even more angry.. and eventually.. she said that.. she was angry because she did not know anything while he knew it all.. just when hyung tae decided that he would just leave... the latest ad campaign for "who r u" came up...
"among all the nicknames.... there is only one her. i once gave her an island... now i will give her the seas."
turned out that hyung tae put her picture and his love into the ad campaign...
sooo sweet... soooo nice. haha.. shall rent the vcd later... go get it~!
