Cafe Seoul

Am Comfortable Film About the Importance of Family
This is a nice story about a Japanese free-lance writer - Jin Isaka played by Takomi Saito - whose family ran and lost their confectionery shop after which the family members went their own ways. Jin writes about eateries and food. He goes to Seoul, South Korea where he discovers a small out of the way confectionery shop run by Sang Woo who has taken over the business after the death of his father. He has two brothers, Sang Hyuk who dreams of being a rock star but who has a secret and Sang Jin who wants to go "Big" with the confectionery business and goes head to head with Sang Woo. The story is about the struggle for survival not only for the business but for the family.
The only question I have is why if the story is about a Japanese writer who goes to Seoul, South Korea to look for a story and is carrying a Japaness-Korean language handbook and where they are having problerms understanding each other, are they tossing in English phrases every once in a while...
