Remember that Korean movie that was shot in Boracay in February early this year? It stars former SES member Eugene (Kim), Lee Seon Gyun, Lee Min Gi and Lee Su Gyeong among others. It was originally titled “Feel So Good” and was earlier reported to be released in May.

I thought that that movie has been relegated to the freezer but alas, it was reported last week that it will finally be shown on December 24 in Korea. It has also been renamed “Romantic Island,” which IMO suits the movie better.

The new playdate is good since December 25 is a holiday in Korea. Hopefully, couples will march to the multiplexes to watch the film (and book the earliest flights to Boracay — don’t forget the swimsuits!)

PLOT:
A poor but vivacious lady, Soo-Jin (Su-kyeong Lee) takes a vacation to an exotic island for the first time, totally free from work and her family. A rich but cold-hearted gentleman, Jae-Hyuk (Seon-gyun Lee), secretly visits the island for his estranged fathers funeral. Jae-Hyuk bumps into Soo-Jin at a hotel and attracted by her lively spirit, Jae-Hyuk asks her to be his tour guide during his stay on the island.

A famous idol star, Ga-Young (Eugene), is stressed out from her hard schedules and takes an impulsive vacation. A hopeless clerk, Jung-Hwan (Min-gi Lee), gets a free ticket to the island from his friend. Spoiled, Ga-Young sees Jung-Hwan standing alone at the airport and asks him to carry her bag and to take her to the hotel. Mr. nice guy, Jung-Hwan cant turn her down and he becomes her companion to the island.

A father and husband, Joong-Sik and his wife, Yoon-Suk, take their very first trip abroad to the island. In the romantic island, Joong-Sik tries to make his wife the perfect vacation, presenting an unforgettable memory with him for the last time.
