A Good Rain Knows (好雨时节), a romantic comedy directed by South Korean director Hur Jin-ho and set in Chengdu one year after the 2008 earthquake struck, will hit theaters on Jan 20.
The film tells a love story between a teacher in Chengdu and her old friend, a South Korean businessman. Mainland actress Gao Yuanyuan and South Korean actor Jung Woo-sung play the couple.
Hur is known for directing melancholy love stories such as Christmas in August and One Fine Spring Day, but says the new film will be a warm one to comfort those who survived the disaster. It is part of the two-film Chengdu, I Love You (成都我爱你) project. The other film is directed by rocker Cui Jian and Hong Kong veteran Fruit Chan.
