REVIEW

Great romantic comedy! I'm not a fan of India (where most of the backdrop scenes are) but I love Gong Yoo and the idea of destiny. This movie somewhat reminds me of an old movie by Robert Downey, Jr “Only You” where Marisa Tomei went all the way to Europe to get a glimpse of her so-called soulmate. Overall, great entertainment value, great actors and the ending is really satisfying. 4.5 out of 5 stars!
