My Dear Enemy
My Dear Enemy (Hangul: 멋진 하루; RR: Meotjin haru; lit. "One Fine Day") is a road movie starring Jeon Do-yeon and Ha Jung-woo as two ex-lovers who reacquaint themselves while driving around Seoul. The film takes place over one rather uneventful day, and subtle emotions and chemistry between the actors propel the narrative. This is the fourth film by South Korean director Lee Yoon-ki.
Plot
Lee Yoon-ki's deadpan comedy trails a pair of former lovers – he's a charismatic romantic and she's a no-nonsense realist – who bump into each other one year down the road. Hee-soo isn't the type of person to say what's on her mind, but you can tell that something is wrong. When, at a horseracing stadium, she tracks down her ex-boyfriend Byung-woon, her voice is laced with fury. "I want my money," she says, skipping even the barest of greetings. Byung-woon, for his part, looks like a man trapped. Despite his nervous smiles and warm assurances (that seem slightly dodgy), you can guess from the outset that he doesn't have the ₩3.5 million (US$3,500) that he borrowed from her a year earlier. "Don't worry," he tells her, "for sure I can get it for you by the end of the day." Not believing him, but not willing to let him out of her sight until she gets paid, she accompanies him for the day as he visits various old friends and acquaintances (all women) and tries to sweet talk his way into a loan. As both day and debt are whittled down, the pair fall back into old patterns, rehash unsettled gripes, and slowly come to see each other in a new light.

Dear Enemy
by: SuperheistDon't fade away!
There's something wrong inside me
And I can feel it climbing
It sucks me in and spits me out and then I'm left here dying
See through these blood shot eyes, this paper thin disguise
I pose the question in a letter to my enemy.
Don't drift away, don't fade away
I won't break!
And all I want is truth
Don't drift away, don't fade away
I won't break!
And all I want is truth
After all is gone
I'm losing all my strength to you
I'm losing all my strength to you
Ive no place to hide
Ive no place to hide
Ive no place to hide
Ive no place to hide
There's something in me trying
To get me out of this mess, I feel it multiplying
And through these blood shot eyes, this paper thin disguise
I pose the question in a letter to my enemy.
Don't drift away, don't fade away
I wont break!
And all I want is truth
Don't drift away, don't fade away
I won't break!
And all I want is truth
After all is gone
I'm losing all my strength to you
I'm losing all my strength to you
After all is gone
I'm losing all my strength to you
I'm losing all my strength to you
How could you let this fade, how could it slip away
I waited so damn long for me to feel this way
Give everything I am to make it go away
Fuck this misery and make it go away
How could everything just fade, how could it slip away
I waited so damn long for me to feel this way
Give everything I am to make it go away
Fuck this misery and make it go away
Don't drift away, don't fade away
And all I want is truth
Don't drift away, don't fade away
And all I want is truth
After all is gone
I'm losing all my strength to you
I'm losing all my strength to you
After all is gone
I'm losing all my strength to you
I'm losing all my strength to you
You're wicked
You're wicked
You're wicked
You're wicked
You're wicked
Fuck you!
Don't drift away, don't fade away
Don't drift away, don't fade away
