Au Revoir, UFO (2004)

Korean title: 안녕! 유에프오 (An-nyeong! Yu-e-peu-o)

What’s popping:

I wouldn’t call it poppin’ because it’s really sad news :-(. The leading lady in this drama/romance committed suicide in 2005. She was 25!!! :-(

Lee Eun-joo (이은주) was found hanged in her apartment by her brother. Marks on her body indicated that she tried to slit her wrists as well. There was a letter written in blood at the scene. It read: “Mother, I’m sorry. I love you.”

Well, I managed to only watch 15 minutes of the show on Monday morning and thought it was pretty cute.

The plot:

The romance also stars Lee Beom-soo (이범수). In a town where everyone believes in UFOs, a blind girl (the late Lee Eun-joo) falls for a kind-hearted bus driver.
