Story Sadder Than Sadness MV illegally leaked
by javabeans
Do you think Lee Bo-young is upset that her face is upside-down in BOTH photos?
With promotion heating up for the upcoming melodramatic film Story Sadder Than Sadness featuring Kwon Sang-woo, the latest dustup centers around the illegal leaking of a music video featuring a song from the soundtrack sung by Lee Seung-chul, “그런 사람 또 없습니다” (There’s nobody like that person). The video was leaked to an online portal site before it was officially ready and therefore hadn’t been through its final editing stages. A more finished version was released the following day (watch below) and the film will be in theaters on March 14.
The story seems pretty self-explanatory: Kwon Sang-woo and Lee Bo-young are in love, but for some reason she marries Lee Beom-soo instead.
I dunno; I’ve never been that excited about this movie, but doesn’t it look like just the kind of thing that would have been a hit in the mid/late ’90s? (i.e., indulgently tragic). Which is my way of saying that even if it turns out to be good, it feels pretty behind the times.
(Also, after seeing the MV, I kinda feel like I’ve already seen the movie. Right?)

No offense, but it looks depressing. I stopped watching the MV in the middle, because I couldn't take it anymore. I like Kwon Sang Woo, and I wish he'll be paired up with Kim Ha Neul again in a comedy or action film. lol. The woman (Lee Bo Young) is pretty though.

It's rehashed from the 90's.
Kwon Sang Woo always chooses these types of roles.
Doesn't he ever get bored of them?

I agree - the MV basically gives away the entire movie. *Spoiler?* KSW and LBY are in love (and probably knew it each other since their school days) but unfortunately, KSW has a terminal illness so he decides to give LBY away to a good man (LBS), because we all know that she can't survive without a man by her side when KSW dies. And thus, the reason why LBY decides to marry LBS. instead. However, she'll probably find out about KSW's illness sooner or later and goes to be with him until his final moments. The end. *end of spoiler* Hopefully something trippy will happen.

LOL@ Lee Bo Young upside down in both pics
yeah, I don't really like the design of the poster. The "upside down" thing they're trying to do doesn't really work when there are 3 people, it seems.

the story is good & i love kwon sang woo!
the reason why lee bo young marries lee beom soo is
because kwon sang woo's character is sad.
He has stomach cancer,so he lets lee bo young
marry lee beom soo.
its a tear-jerker story, obviously because of the title..
also, kwon sang woo's new drama " cinderella man "
is coming soon
i heard han eun jung( full house ) is the female lead
but han hye jin( jumong ) is also choosen to be kwon's
leading partner.

That right '' a story sadder than sadness''. Kwon sang woo casting with many sad cast: bad love, straway in heaven & story sadder than sadness.
But I think Lee Bo Young & K won sang woo will make a new cute couple.
I like lee bo young in long hair. she so pretty & cute.
Love you Priness Lee bo young & wating for you (* *)!

I don't think korea's film industry has had any recent box-office hits with melodramatic / tragic plots and with good reason. They've been done to death in films and series already and with a title like "story sadder than sadness", there's just no way I'm going to run to the cinema to watch this. With the way the world economy is, do we really need to fork out more money to watch a story that is sadder than sadness? And pray tell, what can possibly be sadder than sadness??????

Lee Bo young looks alot better upside down than she does right side up. Kwon sang woo is one hot man. I'm looking forward to KSW's new drama as well. Even though it sounds a bit absurd.. Hopefully, I'll be laughing and not crying...

Whoa, is it true that Korea has the highest rate of cancer's patients?
the story is old, and why she has to be so lucky and still sad to have 2 men that love her so much!! :P
Still I love sad movies, so I can make excuse to cry my heart out while watching it, I probably watch this,
I hope it lives with the title - it has to be sadder than sadness!

@ # 5 Melica --> I nearly spit my corn chips laughing at the "I think it’s the title which is stupider than stupidity" comment. That is exactly what I thought when I heard the title. Plain STUPID title.

for you detractors you are all idiots...first of all it's a literal translation of the title so it won't carry the same meaning when translated into English. Next, the fact that it's a melodrama may seem cliche, but no more so than the pathetic irony that is Hollywood. It's a tragic love story no different and yet as time-less as Romeo & Juliet...self sacrifice in the name of love...how can that be "90's"? Lastly, even the critics who went in expecting another cliche film about love and death praised the film for its ingenuity and though the cancer role seems repetitive in Korean storylines, it's something all Koreans can relate to. So make your invalid and ignorant statements, this was a GREAT movie and have yet to find ONE Hollywood film or drama that could compare in the least with Korean films/dramas...hence why they're the most popular form of international entertainment.

The movie look really good. I like the plot but the title is just so cheesy, in English I guess? I don't know. They should totally rename it, something unique and interesting to watch, grabbing our attention and that fits the movie.

Before seeing the film, I read the post here and the title 'A story sadder than sadness' put me off but in the version of the subtitles I saw the title was different -'The color blue' or something.
I didn't watch the clip above before I saw the film and am glad I didn't it as it would have put me off even more. I just caught the first 5 seconds of it now and had to stop it. (This clip wasn't even in the version I saw but I could see how it would fit.)
If you like tear jerkers definitely get this movie. Don't forget the tissues.

I've just seen more of the clip above and I'm like 'What?'. This MV and the movie are (almost) totally different-it's like they made 2 movies with the basic plot but changed a whole lot of things in each version.
I like the movie version best.
Watch them and see for yourself.
