One Fine Spring Day

One Fine Spring Day is a South Korean feature film released by Sidus and Applause Films in 2001. Directed by Hur Jin-ho (of Christmas in August), the film is a portrait of a love affair - from its blossoming in spring, to its decline as the years pass.

Plot
Sound engineer Sang-woo meets local DJ Eun-soo on a recording trip in the quest for nature's voice. They succeed in capturing various sensual sounds as well as each other's tenderness. Their love flourishes as spring comes along, but Sang-woo's ever intensifying passion often reminds Eun-soo of her tragic past. She knows only too well how passion can vanish like a sound, and how love always surrenders to its end.

Popular culture
The character Eun-soo, portrayed by Lee Young-ae was the first to say the phrase "Do you want to eat ramyeon?", which later grew to exemplify a pick-up line meaning, "Do you want to sleep with me?". It was followed by a scene with broken hearted Sang-woo (Yoo Ji-tae), being offered soju with his ramyeon by his father.
