I just finished watching Heaven's Postman on Dramafever. It was so touching! Heaven's Postman Is a movie written by Kitagawa Eriko, a Japanese screenwriter and now one of my writing idols. She is a huge name in the asian screeplay world and has written many award winning screenplays a list of these can be found here: http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Kitagawa_Eriko ).
Han Hyo Joo (Shining Inheritance) and Hero Jaejoong of the Kpop super group TVXQ star in this melodrama about a promising CEO of an IT company who becomes a postman for the dead. After an accident, Shin Jae Joon (played by Hero Jaejoong) falls into a coma and is given the ability to travel between the real world and heaven. He delivers the mail from the bereaved to the dead in heaven. He meets Jo Ha Na (Han Hyo Joo) by chance and she becomes interested in his work, especially since she's the only one who can see him.

BEWARE! SPOILER ALERT!
Now for my opinion.This movie was at first a bit odd. It was different because of it's lack of music but the plot was interesting enough that I didn't want to stop watching it. The two main characters interact in a calm way and match each other well even though it seems they won't be a perfect fit at first. The scenery at the field with the red mailbox is simple but beautiful. I myself being a traveler at heart,wish I could go there. Nearing the end you can see what's coming and can't help but wish otherwise.
Ha Na at one point turns and says her contact moved and everything was blurry. When that happened I couldn't help but think, "No!!! Not now! They're finally hitting it off!" In the coffee shop she loses sight of him completely which really freaks her out. When he disappeared completely, I didn't cry as I had expected I would, although I did come close. Luckily he was awarded a chance by God to live (for those who choose to watch, pay extra attention to the bus driver!!). I bawled like a baby when Ha Na and Jae Joon reunited though. And of all places to meet each other again, it's in the POST OFFICE!! It was so unbelievable touching and sweet, I loved it so much. And for those of you who don't watch the end credits, in this movie, if you don't you won't reach a definitive end. This movie is a must watch for you K-fans out there! It seems like such a fantasy, and makes you wonder if this could really happen. Kudos to every participant in the making of this movie!!
