Recently, a friend of mine let me watch this Korean drama movie. The original language is Korean, and not wanting to ruin the original feeling of the movie, I watched it with English subtitles. It's called "The Classic". The title fits because there are so many clichés in the movie. It's about a girl who is having boy problems. (Her best friend likes the same guy and makes her write love letters to the guy.) At the same time, she's reading the diary of her mother's first love, whose situation was very similar to her own.
Although a movie with a lot of clichés would be not very good, it sort of made the essence of the movie. You could predict what the characters would do or what was going to happen next, which sort of made it funny.
While I took the first semester of English over summer, my teacher constantly said, "Don't use clichés." It's hard to, but sometimes that's the only way to get to the point. I thought that it was interesting to put many clichés together in a pack. I don't think that I've seen anybody use that many clichés all at once, which made the movie pretty unique.
Here's the DVD cover:
