Just recently, a Korean girl I know told that she has decided not to have children because she doesn’t see the point of bringing a new life into this world. Isn’t that depressing? Well, this movie brightened up my mood because it presents the same issue — a woman who doesn’t want kids but wants to be with the guy she loves, not knowing that he already has a child. This setup creates plenty of comedic moments, but it also serves as positive propaganda for having children. Kids in a relationship may shake the romantic love a little at first, but they elevate the relationship to an even better level and can only deepen the love.

The official title of the movie is a little misleading: Heartman: Rock and Love. Sure, there is one rock song, but the rest of the movie is just a classic romantic comedy. The film has some originality, but if you’ve seen many Korean movies of this type, you’ll notice quite a few elements that feel copy-pasted. The main actors were good, but I expected more from them — their emotions didn’t quite come through. The supporting actors, however, were excellent and really funny.

If anything, please support and watch this movie for its message.
