The romance Be With You isn't labeled as scif but it could be. It's a time traveling tearjerker in which an amnesiac mother (Son Ye-jin) comes back from the dead, only to fall back in love with her husband (So Ji-seob) and child (Kim Ji-hwan) again. The rebirth of affection for the kid is easy to understand: He's quick, conscientious, loving, and adorable. The return of warm feelings for the dad is tougher to fathom. He seems to be cursed with bad luck, made worse by an inability to act responsibly despite being the sole caregiver for their orphaned child. Upon returning to earth, she might've been better off being smitten with her husband's best friend, a baker (Ko Chang-seok) with a better job and a sweet willingness to take on parenting duties, no questions asked.
Well, there's no explaining love. And to his credit, Be With You's father is handsome, earnest, and hasn't lost his swimmer's build despite dropping out of competition years ago. (Is it all the bike-riding?) He's also devoted if a bit dim. Some people prefer a partner not as smart as them, I guess. I only wish he wasn't telling all those little fibs all the time. Honesty is such an important part of a relationship — especially if it's only going to last the rainy season, no matter how often the cars get washed and how many four-leaf clovers you paste to your window.
