i just finished watching letters to juliet (2010) earlier which stars Amanda Seyfried, Chris Egan, Vanessa Redgrave, Gael García Bernal, and Franco Nero. it's a romantic comedy shown early this year. sophie, portrayed by amanda seyfried, is a budding writer and works for the new yorker magazine as a fact checker. sophie with her fiance victor (gael bernal) planned a trip to verona, italy for a supposedly pre-honeymoon. victor, a chef by profession, upon reaching verona, got so caught up looking for suppliers for his brand new restaurant in new york. he was so passionate about the whole thing that he eventually forgot about the real purpose of their travel, the honeymoon. sophia instead went sight-seeing by her lonesome and came across this house where juliet capulet used to live. sophia became curious when she found women weeping and writing letters afterwards insert the scribbles in the bricked walls. sophia waited for all the people to leave and watched as this lady collect the letters. she followed where the lady headed like a spy and she was led into a house where the letters are gathered. she found that juliet have secretaries who writes back to those with 'love problems.' the story started when sophia found a letter (which dated back fifty years ago) hidden in one of the bricked walls. the letter was about a woman named claire, troubled because she turned her back on the man she love the most fearing her family might not approve of him. sophia thought, although it's been 50 years, to respond to the letter with an aim to find some closure on the letter sender's end. an english man came to juliet's house asking who wrote the letter sent to her grandmother claire. sophia with so much enthusiasm admitted she was the one who responded to claire's letter but to her surprise the bloke even blamed sophia because his grandmother is now on a quest to locate his true love named lorenzo bartolini. sophia did not give up and followed charlie, the english man who crashed in juliet's house. she even volunteered to join charlie and claire to find lorenzo to charlie's disgust. off they go to find lorenzo. claire learned sophia was abandoned by her mom while she was 9, charlie's parents died because of a car accident and claire, married another guy who happened to be charlie's grandfather. to make the lengthy story short, sophia and charlie fell in love after getting to know each other. claire found his lorenzo, sophia left and went back to victor even though she was unhappy and heartbroken to be apart from charlie. charlie then chased sophia but when he saw from afar she was with victor he left broken hearted as well. back in new york, sophia presented the story (based on claire's tale) to her boss and he then eventually agreed to publish it. she received an invitation to claire's wedding to be held in where else but verona, italy. sophia then realized her engagement with victor is not working thus she decided to call it quits. during claire's wedding sophia mistook patricia as charlie's ex-girlfriend because of the namesake. sophia again was broken hearted but she learned charlie's with his cousin patricia not his ex. she then professed her love for charlie and it was a happy ending.
that's what i hate about watching korean tv series/soaps, i get addicted.
i started watching that darn tv series yesterday. i started with episdoes 8-11 then i missed out 12-15 simply because this online site that hosts the videos no longer have the rest of the clips. i was so disappointed. so, i ended up watching the very last one which was episode 16. fine. as long as i knew that t'was a happy ending i'm ok with it though am still yearning to go to quiapo once of these days and look for the dvd lol. who wouldn't like hyun bin right? his pretty face and killer bod.
