The
Cyrano Agency consists of four people from a theater troupe who
offers a unique cupid service for lovelorn clients. The company
intricately devises and implements schemes, custom tailored to match
the interests of their intended target, for the ultimate goal of
obtaining romance for their client. The boss and mastermind behind
the agency is Byung-Hoon (Uhm Tae-Woong).
Things
take a strange twist at the Cyrano Agency when a new client named
Sang-Yong (Daniel Choi) enters their office. Sang-Yong is a
straight-laced financial trader who is rather inept with personal
relationships. He has fallen for a free spirited woman named
Hee-Joong (Lee Min-Jung) and seeks out the Cyrano Agency's help. The
boss for the Cyrano Agency, Byung-Hoon, then notices that Hee-Joong
is his ex-girlfriend with whom he has really never gotten over ....
REVIEW
I loved the movie! The characters have great chemistry and camaraderie that one will want to join their gang; and be nostalgic of their own loved ones. The soundtrack is great that I have Agnes Baltsa on my itunes right after I watched the movie.
