Plot Summary

A highly intellectual but socially awkward linguist believes that love is purely a matter of correct communication and that by mastering the Korean language, one can achieve true love. He attempts to prove his theory by helping a woman who is famously unlucky in love. However, his rigid, linguistic approach to romance clashes with the woman's more emotional and intuitive understanding of relationships, leading to humorous and chaotic situations.

The film received mixed reviews, with praise for its unique premise and the performances of its lead actors, particularly Ryu Seung-ryong. However, many critics found the execution to be uneven, with some aspects of the humor falling flat and the romantic storyline lacking depth. Audience reception was also divided, with some enjoying the witty dialogue and fresh concept, while others felt it didn't fully deliver on its comedic or romantic potential.
