...Sunshine. That's the literal Chinese translation for Miryang, a town to which the thirtysomething widow Shin-ae (Jeon Do-yeon) has retreated with her young son Jun. In Miryang, people are friendly and compulsively helpful, especially a garage mechanic (Korean superstar Song Kang-ho) who is clearly, clumsily smitten by Shin-ae. She needs all the help she can get when another tragedy befalls her. She joins a Christian fellowship and indulges the mechanic's devotion.

That's why the film's one slice of heterosexual sizzle is the kiss between M.J. and the smitten Harry - the girl's mouth tastes like strawberries to her erstwhile beau.

But when asked questions about his professional career, Rudd has a tendency to overplay his breadth of experience. A week after he became leader, Rudd's eight...
...faux scion of a Polish count; a marijuana-runner on the North Carolina coast.” Enter debonair White House correspondent Lee A. Lescaze. They meet for drinks. He compares her to a character in a Ford Maddox Ford novel and she’s pretty much smitten. Darling narrates an eerie scene of gazing from her apartment window at the silhouette of Lescaze and his wife behind drawn curtains only a block away. He has three children too, but no matter. Montage: standard affair tropes (stolen kisses, seedy hotel rooms, and the like). Careening towards the gossipy tell...
