A couple of days ago I watched Secret Sunshine. This is a South Korean film made in 2007. It follows the story of Lee Shin-ae who is recently widowed and together with her only son, settles in her late-husband's town. Tragedy soon befalls her and the film is an exploration of grief, faith and acceptance. The final scene with her friend and potential boyfriend Kim Chong-Jan is beautifully realised. Kim Cong-Jan is played by the fantastic Song Kang-ho. Some people have criticised the artificiality of the plot but are missing the film's point. I would receommend the film highly.
