Overview

Spending Christmas without a boyfriend has been a long-term jinx. Jeong-hae, who spent all her twenties at the factory, booked a ticket to Vancouver as soon as her time deposit matured. She was determined for her last Christmas of her twenties to be remarkable. Her travel plan, however, quickly vanished when she belatedly learned about Canada's new visa requirement, so she had to instead embark on a journey to seek a Pyeongyang naengmyeon restaurant which her deceased father uniquely enjoyed. Her excitement quickly turned to disappointment. She was destined to return home alone, but a spontaneous decision led her to meet a man who would break her jinx.

Review

Jeong-hae believes that she has a Christmas jinx and plans a trip for herself, leaving behind the exhaustion from her work. When the trip gets canceled by an unexpected mistake, and nothing seems to go as planned, she isn’t disappointed for long and takes everything in strides. This film takes a road movie format, following Jeong-hae’s pursuit to find the Pyeongyang naengmyeon that she had with her father in her childhood. And just like how she gladly welcomed the northern lights at the naengmyeon place she finally finds, her Christmas jinx will continue to be replaced with her small joys. (KANG Jin-ah)
