Synopsis
A few years ago Madonna released the CD containing the characteristic background noise of the LP records. The popularity of the LP's was overwhelming when the era of the popular music began in Korea. People experienced the first taste of the popular music through their first love, the LP records, although they are now hard-to-found items in the music market today. In this film, the LP record plays the important medium from which the love story unfolds. Kang Su-Ha, a recent graduate with the major in Education, gets posted to a small country town as a primary school teacher. He is attracted to Yang Eun-Hee, another teacher who arrives at the town on the same day. They share some time together, listening to each other's LP records and getting to know one another. The record gets accidentally broken by the students on the cleaning duties and the love letter written by Su-Ha never reaches the recipient as Yang Eun-Hee leaves the school for overseas with her fiance. Then, Corny Francis's 'Don't Break the Heart That Loves You' plays the mediating role for the encounter between Kang Sooha and Yoon Hong-Yeon, the over-aged student at the school. This film contains countless scenes depicting the good old days with great detail, the scenes that are hard to find in the cinema today. The long-forgotten items like the LP records and other nostalgic sentiments that once were part of our lives are found in abundance in this film, which recreated the 60's with the sensibilities of the late 90's.
