On his first shift, he is dismayed to pair with Kyung Jin. The two stroll the street and one group of delinquents are attracted to her.
They whistle at her and throw cigarette butts on the ground. You will be amused when the timid Myung Woo decides to avoid them but the furious Kyung Jin demands them to pick them up.
When they refuse, she beats them up badly as she can never tolerate their behaviour. After seeking her revenge, both return to the police station to find the spare key missing.
Sure enough, the father comes with his men. Myung Woo tries to make Kyung Jin apologise to the fellow but to no avail. Upon seeing her going to flare up, he pacifies her. He demands the man to apologise to Kyung Jin and she is impressed by his guts.
Myung Woo is relieved when they get the keys from her colleague. The following scene have both patrolling the street again. Myung Woo is worried that she might run into trouble again. Sure indeed she sees a drug trafficker and wants to shadow him.
The poor soul has to climb walls with her. Finally, she finds the man with his gang, wanting to exchange a deal at a warehouse. She demands them to stop — even knowing that she is alone. The usual happens — one man starts a gunshot and the rest start killing each other. The mastermind flees and the drug trafficker is fuming mad.
He is actually an undercover and demands to know which unit she comes from. Kyung Jin is silent this time because she is in the wrong. They return to the police station and there is no spare key …… again!
This is so hilarious when they have to visit the toilet together. They have to adjust to each other brushing the teeth and washing the face. Even when they are sleeping on separate beds, they are still linked by the handcuff. However, you will have another surprise in store again. Kyung Jin wakes up, yawns and loosens the handcuff! He is about to see her after work when she informs him that she is running after two robbers. Worrying about her safety and knowing that she is reckless, he rushes to the scene.
He tries calling out to her but ends up confronting the robber instead. One of them is already captured while another tries to hide between the walls. He gets stuck there. He ends up in the same situation. The police finally nap him and Myung Woo is miserable when others ask what he is doing there.
From then on, she has not wanted to touch the black pieces on the piano again. Myung Woo pretends that her food tastes good although it is too hot for him. Here, he re-teams with the gorgeous star of that film, Ji-hyun Jun ' Il Mare ' in an attempt to recreate its magic in the form of a semi-prequel.
Thankfully, as the original was followed by countless inferior imitations, Kwak at least makes an effort to do something slightly different with 'Windstruck', a film of two quite different halves and which pays as much attention to the bitter as it does to the sweet. Although there is nothing particularly new on show here, Kwak succeeds in creating an amusing and genuinely moving highpoint in a genre that is as plagued with as much dross as that of the Asian ghost story.
Ji-hyun Jun plays Kyungjin, a police officer who finds herself chasing down a suspected bag-snatcher on her day off. However, the man she catches turns out to be Myungwoo Hyuk Jang, ' Volcano High ' , a passer-by who was himself trying to apprehend the real criminal. In an unsurprising turn of events, the two are partnered together after Myungwoo volunteers to patrol the red light district looking for unruly students. I'm not sure if this is a common practice in Korea or a contrivance of the plot, but soon enough the mismatched pair is falling deeply if touchingly dysfunctional love.
However, events take a tragic, if somewhat expected, turn and Kyungjin is left questioning everything and searching for a reason to live.
I assure you, though you can probably guess pretty much everything that happens in 'Windstruck' from the above synopsis, I can honestly say that I've included no spoilers.
The film sets out its stall right from the beginning, with a Korean cover version of 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door', and the slow-motion sight of Ji-hyun Jun throwing herself off a building. Kyung-jin rushed out to locate the finder of the book, ultimately ending up in the train station, where she is saved by Cha Tae-hyun's character credited as The Guy.
Myung-woo whispered that The Guy is the one with the soul like him. Kyung-jin whispers that 'he is always beside her.
Windstruck shares the same leading actress and director as an earlier popular South Korean film, My Sassy Girl. As a result, Windstruck contains several subtle references to the previous film. It is also worth noting that throughout both movies Jun Ji-hyun's characters have an overall cheerful and sassy personality but soon revealing sadness and emotion. When Kyung-jin is chasing Sin Chang-su she tells a random citizen to act as a steppingstone to climb over the wall, just like when she accidentally steps on a runaway soldier played by the same actor when she and Tae-hyun visited the amusement park during her birthday.
In the start of My Sassy Girl she is distraught over a boyfriend that died though the reason was never disclosed before meeting Cha Tae-hyun, and in Windstruck her boyfriend Myung-woo died due to hunting Sin Chang-su.
The explains why the final scene of Windstruck in which Kyung-jin is saved by new soul mate played by Cha Tae-hyun, the male lead from My Sassy Girl on a train platform, is very similar to the beginning of My Sassy Girl , essentially setting up Windstruck as a spiritual prequel to My Sassy Girl.
Other versions may not have all tracks. The film was ranked 8th best-selling Korean film of , selling 2,, tickets.
