The plot of the 1998 South Korean film "Christmas in August (Palwol ui Christmas)" is simple: photo shop proprietor Jung-Won (Han Suk-Kyu of "Shiri") is terminally ill, a fact that he has only shared with his father (Goo Shin) and sister (Oh Ji-Hye), and none of his closest friends.

Da-Rim also finds herself attracted to Jung-won, and she is gradually able to coax the quiet but kind shopkeeper out of his shell.
