【新闻】“错过爱情”英文评论★翻译 鸣谢:Joyce-ts *************‘Lost in Love’depicts lovers lacking courage to tell truth She has a crush on him. But she cannot ask him out because she's timid and shy. Worse, she helplessly observes how he suffers from a broken relationship with another woman. She is always close by him, but he thinks of her as just a good friend, not a woman for a deeper relationship. After all, love is elusive, isn't it? "Lost in Love" (Sarangeul notchida), directed by Chu Chang-min, is about people who have difficulty in telling the truth and lack courage when it comes to relationships. The subject is familiar with Koreans (or other Asians) because cases of being unable to reveal true feelings abound due to the cultural tradition of cherishing reticence over garrulousness. The pain of failing to talk about affectionate emotions is best showcased in "Love Letter," a Japanese romantic film by Shunji Iwai, which still mesmerizes Korean fans. The surprising revelation at the end of the 1995 classic is so irresistibly moving - even by today's enhanced filmmaking standards - that it still leaves many Korean moviegoers with sad tears in their eyes. Audiences of "Lost in Love" are also likely to shed tears - not because they are moved by the indescribable affection toward their lovers featured in the film but because they may struggle with irresistible yawning. The main character is Yoo-jae, played by Sol Kyung-gu. He's a college boat racer and then becomes a coach later. Short-tempered and insensitive, Yoo-jae lives alone in a dark little apartment, littered with beer cans, dirty clothes and garbage. But Yoo-jae is a fairly lucky man because Yeon-su (Song Yoon-ah), his college friend, has a crush on him. Not a short-lived crush, but a long-term one, though why she loves such an incompetent man in the first place is a mystery that is never fully explained in this supposedly romantic film. The story goes back to the college days when the two are good friends. And it takes a huge leap of faith when Sol, 38, pretends to be a college student in his early 20s. From the very opening scene, Yoo-jae gets dumped by his girlfriend (perhaps she's much more foresighted than Yeon-su) and he shows the worst of a man when jilted: he breaks a window with his bare knuckles while drunk and even confronts his innocent coach who punishes him for skipping training sessions in the name of coping with the breakup. Immature? As with most men, Yoo-jae is not only immature but also utterly insensitive. Some of the refined scenes in the movie happen at bus terminals. The first bus terminal footage is where Yeon-su struggles to make a decision about whether she should stay one night in a remote village for Yoo-jae, who is serving in the army (Sol pretends to be a low-ranking soldier but he looks like a general). In the country's military service system, visitors usually can bring the soldiers out of the barracks and stay one night outside - a sort of brief, informal leave. Yeon-su, however, is not sure whether he gets the message: staying one night, certainly, means more than just talking about their college days all night.
