Love Forecast (Korean: 오늘의 연애; RR: Oneului Yeonae; lit. Today's Love) is a 2015 South Korean romantic comedy film co-written and directed by Park Jin-pyo.[3][4] Starring Lee Seung-gi and Moon Chae-won, the film depicts the relationship between men and women as being as delicate and complex as the weather.[5][6][7][8]
Synopsis
Weather reporter Kim Hyun-woo (Moon Chae-won) is known for her beauty and elegance on television, but off-screen, she drinks and swears a lot. Hyun-woo has been friends for 18 years with Kang Joon-soo (Lee Seung-gi), a mild-mannered elementary school teacher who gives too much of himself in his relationships but always ends up getting dumped. Joon-soo has secretly loved Hyun-woo for years, but she claims she doesn't feel any sexual attraction between them, and he's had to stand by and watch while she fawns over married colleague Lee Dong-jin (Lee Seo-jin) and goes on a blind date with nice but boring photographer Yeom Hyo-bong(Jung Joon-young). Fate turns out that the childhood friends are destined together.
