Joo-wol (Ha) is a novelist suffering writer’s block and he has not been able to write anything for the past couple of years. A hopeless romantic, he looks to find artistic inspiration in every woman he meets, but ends up only with despair and heartache. One day, his publisher asks him to come along to a book fair in Germany for a change of pace. There he meets Hee-jin (Kong), a film distributor who is there to survey the European film market at an event in Berlin. Unsurprisingly, he falls in love again, and after returning to Seoul, he manages to convince her to go out on a date. As their relationship progresses, Joo-wol writes a bestselling detective novel with a main character loosely based on Hee-jin. However, with this new popularity he begins to discover more than he would like to know about his girlfriend’s complicated history with men.
With a background in stage and dance, Jeon Kye-soo’s feature debut as director was the 2006 musical comedy <Midnight Ballad for Ghost Theater>. He followed with a contribution to the 2008 omnibus <If You Were Me 4> and the feature <Lost and Found> (2010). <Love Fiction> is his third feature film.
