SYNOPSIS

Hong-Sil (Han Ye-Seul) lives frugally and have many odd jobs and saves every penny. Ji-Woong (Song Joong-ki) graduated college years ago but still lives like a college student and relies on the money his mother sends him. These two are neighbors and their apartment is sold and they need to move out within two months. Because of this inconvenience each tenant is compensated $7000. Hong Sil saw Ji-Woong's situation and made him a deal how to save money in two months so he can find his own place. This is where their funny romance will begin.

REVIEW

This is truly a one-of-a-kind comedy romance. You will not stop laughing and will relate to the characters. We've all been there (unless you're a chaebol) - financial struggles that we put our life on hold but all along the only thing that we really need and want is someone to share our struggles (problems) with; and will bring meaning to our life. I highly recommend this movie if you want to laugh and fall in love.
