ALTERNATE SYNOPSIS:
Two individual stories make up this exploration of yearning and love lost. In the first story, a hotel bellboy finds himself hopelessly attracted to the gorgeous model that uses the hotel as a secret rendezvous with her boyfriend. In the second tale, a phone operator betrayed by her businessman-lover commits suicide but is saved by a driver, who will do anything to make her forget the past. These two stories unexpectedly intertwine to the model and phone operator re-appear, one year later, bring hope and turmoil to the bellboys and the taxi driver's lives.

Directed by Kim Yui-seok (Chinese Restaurant Peking, 1999) and staring Jang Dong-kun (Friend) and Jin Hee-kyung (I Wish I Had A Wife) the film involves a doorman, a taxi driver, a telephone operator and a leg model.

Like a Korean 'Chungking Express' it tells the story of a handful of misfits centered round a hotel. Very watchable and compares very well with 'Chungking Express' although it isn't as left field. Both stories in this movie is as strong as each other and each character is given time to flesh themselves out.

The dark seedy tone of the movie wraps itself up nicely at the end given every character a little hope to look forward to ...

I enjoyed the movie but it will be limited to those who like little stories about odd characters who can only find themselves at night ...
