Late Blossom (Korean: 그대를 사랑합니다; RR: Geudaereul saranghamnida; MR: Kŭtaerŭl saranghamnida; lit. "I Love You") is a 2011 South Korean film written and directed by Choo Chang-min about the love story of two elderly couples.[1][2]
After opening quietly to little fanfare, the indie slowly gained positive word-of-mouth and critical praise, and eventually became a box office success with over 1,645,505 ticket sales,[3] as well as a cultural darling among industry peers.[4]
The film is based on the manhwa I Love You by Kang Full. It was serialized online in 2007 and later published in three volumes. In 2008, it was turned into a play and drew audiences of more than 120,000 by 2010.[5]
