I'M A CYBORG, BUT THAT'S OK
If you can find this movie of Netflix, it's worth a watch because it is a very unique love story with excellent characters, plot structure and comedic elements, without trying too hard.
Starring Su-jeong Lim, Rain, Hie-Jin Choi and directed by Chan-wook Park, it is a whimsical story about a girl who is taken to a mental institution because she thinks that she is a cyborg. Subsequently, she doesn't eat, but only "connects" herself to appliances and her other "friends" which include a soda machine, a light, a television and other machines.
She finds someone who is equally "touched" who thinks that he can be invisible if he wears a paper helmet and walks like a rabbit. Together they find out how to be "normal", in as much a way as a cyborg and a rabbit thief could be.
Without giving away the plot and surprises, it is filled with funny moments that are also pretty heart warming. The characters are very well acted and the storyline moves with ease. A highlight is when the male role convinces the female role that he has to "fix" one of her machines, thus allowing her to eat otherwise she will die.
I didn't know what to expect from this one, but it was one my quirky favorites which is a must watch if your on a date with someone with an open mind and doesn't mind subtitles.
