Page 198 Obsession at the Heartbreak Library

– February 28, 2009Posted in: Spoilt Reel

The library might not be the typical setting for romance but Heartbreak Library is not your typical love story either. Librarian Eun Soo (Eugene) found Jun Oh (Lee Dong Wook) tearing up the page 198 of every book in the library. One thing led to another and Eun Soo found herself wanting to find out more about Jun Oh while she’s recovering from a broken heart as well.

This is not your usual romantic story wherein the two protagonists instantly fall in love with each other the second their eyes met. Director Kim Jeong Kwon weaves a nice tale of holding on and letting go; of living the past behind and making a new start.

There were parts in Heartbreak Library that were dragging but at least Eugene’s character was there and it was enough for me to stay interested with the movie. But overall, the message it tried to convey was clear and I loved it.

Eun Soo (Eugene): Why does love drive everyone crazy?

I really don’t know the answer to that one. But I know for a fact that Heartbreak Library is a must see, especially for those who recently had their hearts broken or trying to let go. The movie emits an aura of hope that makes the audience feel good once the end credit starts rolling.

*Spoiler*
Jun Oh and his girlfriend got into a car accident and she died on the spot. He recovered from the trauma and in the end, ended up with Eun Soo.

“Love in the past never changes because it remains in your heart forever.”

I think this was the message. The actual page was not seen in the movie. The book was included in the list of overdue books. That’s how Eun Soo found out about the fate of the girlfriend.

@rebzombie:
i don’t get it though. towards the end of the story, eugene brought the guy to what seemed like a buddhist temple. if i understood the lines correctly, it was some sort of cemetery? and there was a message there that says MIN SOOK wishes forever with ——. i forgot the character’s name. i was confused there. why did he cry? did he forget that he’s been in that place before? was he still suffering from his post traumatic memory loss? and which book was it? the overdue book that eugene took from the girl’s mom only had 196 pages. where did she get the idea to take lee dong wook to the temple? where did she get the message “love in the past….”

i like this movie though. i love how it showed hope for new love, moving on and letting go.
