Synopsis

An omnibus film of the romances and breakups of five couples:

Soo-jin (Kim Hyo-seo) works in a cafe in Seoul. One day, she receives a call at work from a Polish man in Rotterdam, who tells her the story of his missing fiance.

Eun-hee (Jung Yu-mi) shows up one night and blames her ex-boyfriend Hyun-oh (Yoon Kye-sang) for ruining her life. Although she has a new relationship, she is still upset that Hyun-oh breaks up with her.

Se-yeon (Yeom Bo-ra) seduces Young-soo (Oh Chang-seok), who is rumoured to be dating a man. Young-soo's long-time lover Woon-chul (Jang Seo-won) is heartbroken when he makes a confession and decides to end their relationship.

Indie bandmates Hye-young (Yozoh) and Joo-young (Yoon Hee-seok) discuss about love while taking a walk in Namsan park.

Reception

BeyondHollywood: "Come, Closer is arguably one of the few truly honest films about modern relationships to have emerged from Korea of late. Touching and insightful, it manages to avoid most of the philosophical excesses that genre outings tend to be prone to, and suggests that Kim Jong-kwan may well be a talent to watch."[1]
