to all fanatics of kwon sang-woo. u gotta watch this movie cos u'll fall in love with him even more. haha! kiddin' ! u'll enjoy watchin this cos there's never a dull moment. lots of laugh actually. :) here's the summary courtesy of hancinema.net read on. :)<br>
In the film, Kyu-sik (Kwone Sang-woo) is an exemplary theological student. In a month, he will be ordained and become priest, a dream he has pursued for years. But God throws him into an embarrassing situation: Because of his trouble-making friend Sun-dal (Kim In-kwon), Kyu-sik makes a grave mistake during a formal ceremony at church. The school authorities order the two to spend a month at a small church in a remote village, offering them a chance to restore and strengthen their commitment. But things don't go as planned, especially when the priest-to-be in question is terribly handsome - actor Kwon is Korea's top-rated heartthrob and his popularity is literally soaring.
When Kyu-sik happens to meet Bong-hee (Ha Ji-won), a high-spirited young woman who had just returned from the United States to capture the love of her boyfriend, something mysterious is at work. Bong-hee, it turns out, is a niece of the kind-hearted priest (Kim In-moon) who manages the small church in the countryside. At first, Kyu-sik does not have any romantic feeling toward Bong-hee. Rather they fight with each other while working for the church. But eventually they, well, develop some intimacy. From this point on, it is awfully easy to predict where the story will go. Director Huh In-moo seems to know the danger lurking in this plot, so he opts for some comic scenes to sidestep what might be objectionable. As a light-hearted Romantic Comedy, the film makes clever use of "Deo Gratias," a Latin phrase meaning "thanks be to God," Kyu-sik repeats the phrase when he prays, and explains to Bong-hee that it may well sound like a secret code. "This is how we thank God, and we do it in a sort of secret way because we tend to be shy about saying 'I love you' in front of others," Kyu-sik says. Love, the movie implies, is a secret thing that is shared by only the couple who deeply understand each other.
The film also presents details of the Catholic Church, including upbeat performances by the choir. These elements are expected to appeal to Catholic viewers, something that apparently pleased Catholic leaders in a specially prepared preview.
