The Greatest Expectation is a 2003 South Korean romantic comedy film.

Plot

Chang-sik (Im Chang-jung) lives strictly by the freeloader's handbook, doing the rounds of free samples in department store food sections and sponging off of his older brother. Mi-young (Kim Sun-a) nurtures grandiose dreams of becoming a TV actress but has failed every audition because she just can't act. Because the two are unemployed, live in the same neighborhood, and have similar schedules, they are bound to run into each other, and they do. One day, Chang-sik and Mi-young are walking around distractedly when they end up in a head-on collision. Chang-sik's coins spill out from his hands and scatter all over the ground. His precious coins! He chases after every single one but ends up 10 cents short. He viciously turns to the Mi-young but she refuses to give him 10 cents.

They become sworn enemies after this incident, but then come across the chance of a lifetime. By chance, they witness a hit-and-run involving old man Hwang together. The next day, to their amazement, they see a banner advertising a ₩5 million reward to eyewitnesses. Of course, each person eagerly offers to be a witness and ends up getting tangled up in something they hadn't bargained for. What have these two slackers gotten themselves into?

gollark: Certainly not to the extent that you'd expect piles of dead ones.

gollark: Maybe. Not massively more than the other brands, as far as I can tell.

gollark: Guess I'll just... continue using my incredibly dubious backup disk.

gollark: Hmm, "bee apioform", all the cheap disks are SMR nowadays.

gollark: There's *one* Toshiba drive model which they actually have enough data for to draw reasonable conclusions from.
