Word of mouth is spreading as people certified “Life is Beautiful” with their “teary shot” on SNS. It is said that the movie left a deep lingering impression with a story that repeats laughter and tears indefinitely.
“Life is Beautiful” is the first jukebox musical film in Korea where the main character Se-yeon (played by Yeom Jeong-hwa) and her husband Jin-bong (played by Ryu Seung-ryong) sing about their lives with exciting rhythms and melodies.
The story begins with Se-yeon’s absurd demand that asks her husband to find her first love for her birthday present. Jin-hong reluctantly travels to the destination of his wife’s past with her throughout the country.
