You Are My Sunshine (Korean: 너는 내 운명; RR: Neoneun nae unmyeong; lit. 'You are my destiny') is a 2005 South Korean romantic drama film written and directed by Park Jin-pyo, and starring Jeon Do-yeon and Hwang Jung-min.[1][2][3][4][5][6] It was released in Korea on 23 September 2005.[7]
The official English title is named after the Jimmie Davis song "You Are My Sunshine," which is used on the soundtrack.
Seok-joong, a farmer in his mid thirties, is desperate to find a wife and settle down. After backing out of a scheme to set him up with a Filipino bride, he falls head over heels in love with a local dabang delivery girl, Eun-ha, and starts showering her with gifts. Although Eun-ha is initially unimpressed, she is eventually won over by his kindhearted nature, and the two get married. The couple's marital bliss is short lived, however, as Eun-ha tests positive for HIV/AIDS, and is then tracked down by her abusive ex-husband, which forces her to run away and fall back into prostitution.
