Plot:
The film tells the story of Gao Yuanyuan, an English tour guide at Du Fu Thatched Cottage who lost her beloved husband in the 5.12 earthquake. She meets her Korean classmate Zheng Yucheng from college, and a poetic emotional encounter occurs between the two. Behind the scenes, the film is a new work by Korean director Xu Qinhao, who has directed "August Photo Studio" and "Spring Passes", starring Chinese and Korean stars Gao Yuanyuan and Zheng Yucheng. The title of the film comes from Du Fu's poem "Spring Night Joyful Rain", and the place where the hero and heroine Donghe and May reunite is in Du Fu Thatched Cottage in Chengdu. After experiencing the hardships of life, the two are no longer as simple as they were when they studied in the United States, and their silly dreams have been abandoned. The tit-for-tat between the two has a realistic flavor of the market. Even if Donghe is openly provocative like the character in the film directed by Hong Sang-soo, May can handle it with ease, which can be seen from May's lines about how to go to bed. From the title of "Good Rain Knows the Season" to the opening scene where Dongha adjusts his watch to Chinese time, it can be seen that this is a film about seizing the opportunity of love. It is also the first time that director Hur Jin-ho has tried a warm ending. The combination of Hur Jin-ho's signature timeless long shots and the first attempt at life-like handheld shooting makes the film vividly depict the passage of time and capture a special moment when feelings arise between men and women. Good rain knows the season, and it happens in spring. It sneaks into the night with the wind, moistening things silently. The famous poem "Happy Rain on a Spring Night" by the poet Du Fu has become an important element of the film. By chance, Park Dongha (played by Jung Woo-sung) who came to Chengdu, China on a business trip, met Wu Yue (played by Gao Yuanyuan), a classmate who had studied in the United States with him, at Du Fu Thatched Cottage. They were a couple in college, but lost contact after graduation when they returned to their home countries. This chance encounter made Dongha believe that he still loved Wu Yue, so he used various humorous and romantic ways to pursue her. When love was deep, Wu Yue told him a secret that was difficult to tell. The feeling of rain dripping on the cheeks dilutes the tears of old pain; the reunion that seems like a lifetime ago makes a love like tea experience the test of timelessness. Good rain knows the season. In the rainy season in a foreign country, encounters nourish and breed romantic and beautiful love stories. Believe in time and longing. Time can forget the pain and resentment of the past, and longing can remind you of your gentle care.
