fuckyeahasiandrama: Title: Sunny (2011) Director: Kang Hyung-chul (Speedy Scandal) Scriptwriter: Kang Hyung-chul Cast: Yoo Ho-jung, Jin Hee-kyung, Ko Soo-hee, Hong Jin-hee, Lee Yun-kyung, Kim Sun-kyung, Shim Eun-kyung, Kang So-ra, Kim Min-young, Park Jin-joo, Nam Bo-ra, Kim Bo-mi, Min Hyo-rin Synopsis: The next work of Director Kang Hyeong-cheol of “Speedy Scandal”. About the fun incidents that happen when women search for their high school friends. Why This Film is Awesome: I know, I know. It’s been FOREVER since I’ve done one of these. What can I say? I haven’t been inspired for quite a while. Until now. I have a tendency to make fun of Asian films and their penchant for nostalgia. Mainly because there’s SO MANY films that rely so heavily on “the good ‘ol days”. That’s fine but it can very easily get old. While Sunny is based on a group of older women who reminsce on the adventures of their younger days, each character is so lovable in their own unique way that you invest in their stories and their wellbeing. So much so that you will cry with them just like I did. Multiple times.  The cast was awesome. I was especially impressed with Jin Hee-kyung and Kang So-ra who played the older and younger version of the group’s leader Ha Choon-hwa, respectively. I went with a friend of mine who’s an Asian film newbie and she walked out wishing she had done high school the way these women did.  I think that’s the great thing about this film; it’s fun that is recognized (and desired) universally so everyone can relate even if their school days were not nearly as exciting. So take as many people to see this as you can. I guarantee they will all love it.
