Korean Movie: "The Marriage Life" 결혼이야기

**This is one of the movies on the top 101 Korean movies list.  It was the fourth most highly attended Korean film between 1990 and 1995.

I'm trying to watch movies from the top 101 Korean movie list. This is the 2nd one I have watched so far.

My Review: I found this movie on the Youtube channel (KoreanFilm) where the top 101 movies are uploaded. The movie is very funny. It shows what happens after marriage. Before getting married you are happily in love, but then once you are married things change. You start to notice all of your partners bad habits. The guy who shines shoes was my favorite character. He was so funny and kept reciting metaphors against marriage.

Year Aired: 1992
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Length: 95 mins
Where to watch: Youtube user KoreanFilm (with English Subtitles)

Main Cast:

Choi Min-Su as Kim Tae-gyu
