Old Miss Diary (2006)

Synopsis:
The Movie sees the graduation of a popular Korean sitcom to the big screen, a risky move which often sees concepts that worked well in small doses flounder when played out at feature length. Thankfully, that proves not to be the case here, mainly since the film features not only the same characters as the television series, but also the same writers and directors, all of whom help to recapture the same offbeat mixture of humour and romance which won over fans in the first place.

The plot revolves around Mi Ja (actress Ye Ji Won, take a look at So Cute), a down on her luck thirty-something woman whose life is going nowhere fast, and who seems doomed to live out her days as a lonely old maid. Things start to look up when she finally manages to land some work as a voice-dubbing actress, which brings her back into contact not only with a former crush, but a possible longshot love prospect in the form of handsome young producer Ji Hyun Woo (Ji Hyun Woo, also in the television series Over the Rainbow). This makes for all manner of complications, as does the odd behaviour of her three grandmothers, who seem to be making a late bid for romance themselves.
