Virgin Snow (Korean movie 2007)

Virgin Snow/Hatsuyuki no koi is a romantic movie collaboration of South Korean actor Lee Junki (starred in The King and the Clown) and Japanese actress Aoi Miyazaki (starred in Nana). The movie takes place in Kyoto (first part of the movie) and Seoul. Lee Junki plays Kim Min, a South Korean high school that moved with his dad to Kyoto while Aoi Miyazaki plays the role of Nanae.


This movie obviously showed the expected language barriers. The lead cast used a little bit of Japanese, a little bit of Korean, some broken English and a whole lot of hand gestures in communicating with each other.


It wasn't that great but it wasn't that bad either. The storyline is simple. This movie might be okay for people who have never watched dramas before because it is kinda cute, but that might be as good as it can get I think. Miyazaki Aoi was really cute in it though. Also the pinky promise, stamp, sign and copy thing was cute.
