Daddy-Long-Legs
Daddy-Long-Legs/ 키다리 아저씨/ Kidari ajeossi ** (Korean)
Movie 99mins
A sort of melancholy romance story. Implied tragedy. I did like how when the truth became known, they re-showed the flashback scenes with the two in switched places. Fav character(s): The director and his brother.
A somewhat sheltered little girl loses her loving parents at a rather young age, but She manages to meet life's changes head on. One day, she received a gift of shoes from an unknown admirer.. when she arrived at the collage admin in a rush to pay the tuition, she found it had just been paid. She thought to find the person who paid it only to meet a dead end.. so she accepted the help from her unknown "daddy-long-legs".
After collage time was over, she gains employment as a staff writer for a radio show and is given an offer to move into a place close by while the unknown owner was away on sick leave. Soon after, a friendly co-worker moves in, and she falls in love with a guy who works the counter at the company record store.
Then one evening, after her laptop broke, she switched over to the owner's computer and saw timed emails show up, the owner had written letters to herself? In these letters, the owner describes a one-way desperate love and a horrible disease that would soon rob her of her memories. Unable to find the guy described, she decided to air the letters on the radio.
