Ngayong Oktubre na ipalalabas ang movie ng Korean superstar na si Kim Rae Won at ng tinaguriang Queen of Romantic Comedies na si Gong Hyo Jin, ang “The Most Ordinary Romance.”
Romcom ang theme ng pelikula kung saan gaganap si Rae Won bilang si Jae Hoon, na sinaktan ng kanyang ex-girlfriend habang si Hyo Jin naman ay gaganap as Sun Young na niloko ng kanyang ex-dyowa.
