Four years ago, news of the remake of the movie "The Unspeakable Secret" caused a stir among Asian cinema fans. "The Unspeakable Secret" is a Taiwanese film directed by and starring Jay Chou, which made a big splash in 2007, becoming one of the classics of Chinese romantic films.

Remaking a classic is no small challenge, but the Korean version has proven its appeal by receiving the love of a large audience. After causing a fever at the Korean box office during Tet, “The Unspeakable Secret” has set a release date in Vietnam.

The Korean version of "Unspeakable Secrets" opens up a world full of romance and mystery, where music is not just melodies, but also a bridge between two hearts. The film revolves around the story of Yoo Jun, a piano genius with outstanding talent. However, a wrist injury forced him to temporarily put his promising music career on hold.

Love is like a miracle that starts with a song

To heal his injuries, Yoo Jun (played by Doh Kyung Soo) decides to return to Korea and participate in a student exchange program. Here, he accidentally discovers an old music room, where mysterious melodies are hidden. It is these melodies that bring him to Jeong Ah (played by Won Jin Ah), a mysterious girl with a cold appearance but a warm heart.

Whenever that melody plays, Yoo Jun and Jeong Ah are able to meet, talk and share their deepest feelings. Their feelings blossom naturally, but are also filled with obstacles because of the secret behind those melodies.

The short dates on campus made Yoo Joon, who always seemed withdrawn and sad, become much brighter and happier. Jeong Ah herself fell in love with Yoo Joon from the first day they met, and that first love, like a miracle, gave her the courage to overcome the ironic fate behind that song.

In Hee's (Shin Ye Eun) sudden confession to Yoo Jun deeply hurts Jeong Ah and she decides to run away. While searching for Jeong Ah, Yoo Jun discovers her biggest secret, and the truth about the melody that brought them together...

The Korean version features a familiar cast, including EXO member Doh Kyung Soo, Won Jin Ah (Hellbound, She Would Never Know) and Shin Ye Eun (The Glory, A-teen). The director of The Unspeakable Secret is Seo Yoo Min, who wrote the screenplay for many successful films such as The Last Princess.

The Korean version of The Unspeakable Secret not only recreates the classic scenes of the original Taiwanese version, but also brings a fresher color thanks to the modern setting, poetic images and delicate storytelling. The warm, nostalgic tone of the film helps to increase the emotional depth. In particular, the classic "piano competition" scene - one of the most impressive scenes of the original The Unspeakable Secret - will also be recreated with careful investment and talented acting by DO Doh Kyung Soo.

Jeong Ah also fell in love with Yoo Joon from the first day they met, and that miraculous first love gave her the courage to overcome the ironic fate behind that song.

Music, a core element in the story, will still be an important highlight, helping to connect the feelings between the two main characters. The sweet piano melodies not only bring viewers into the romantic world of Yoo Jun and Jeong Ah, but also create deep, thoughtful moments.

"The Unspeakable Secret" is not only a simple romantic film but also brings deep emotions about love, time and things that cannot be changed. With a captivating story, realistic acting and touching music, the film promises to become a memorable work for Vietnamese audiences.
