A professional & quiet killer, Hyun-jun. He arrives at a house where he expects a man to be killed by him, but he only finds a girl to expects him to help her suicide. She shouts at dazed Hyun-jun. "What's the matter? It's your job, so you just kill me" She decides to kill herself after the loss of 7 years love, but she feels unfair that she just commits suicide calmly with overdosing sleeping pills. "You should do it by yourself. I am not a helper for suicide." He gets angry at her, forgetting what he does. Hyun-jun & Jin -young begin to meet like this. While they continue to meet, quiet Hyun -jun gets talkative, and Jin Young only dreaming of death begins to think of tomorrow. What a shame for both! Why do they meet day by day in spite that they always argue in vain?
Although this film is categorised as romance, I didn't really begin feel it until the middle and you don't really see it until the very end and even then, it isn't delved into that much. There are several funny moments, but they're not the obnoxious in-your-face humor, which I rather enjoyed. I'm also all for morbid humor, which was why I chose to watch this in the first place. However, within the dynamics between the two main characters, one of whom is still suffering from a break up who seems to just go by each day reluctantly and indifferently, and the other who has a job killing people and comes home to a mother who seems to be constantly intoxicated with an overworked toilet - it's interesting to see how they affect the other at the end. There's also a theme of how sometimes, the things you least expect will happen (mini spoiler: like his mother being diagnosed with uterine cancer instead of liver cancer - in fact, her liver was fine). I did love the two characters though - they amused me. ^^
All in all, I give it a 7.8/10. I don't know where I got the 0.8 from, but it feels like a good score.
