Lump Sugar is a 2006 South Korean movie directed by Lee Hwan-kyung. The movie revolves around a young woman named Min (played by Lim Soo-jung), who lost her mother at a young age and has since been living with her father. The movie begins with Min trying to raise money to pay for her father's medical bills. She takes on odd jobs, such as delivering newspapers and working at a coffee shop. She is seen as a hardworking and determined individual who is willing to do anything to help her father. Her life changes when she meets Gyeong-su (played by Oh-seong Yu), a man who runs a food truck selling Korean pancakes.

Gyeong-su initially appears to be a gruff and unapproachable person, but Min slowly gets to know him and discovers that he is a kind-hearted individual. The two bond over their shared love for food and Min's father, who is a pastry chef. As Min and Gyeong-su spend more time together, they begin to develop feelings for each other.

However, their happiness is short-lived as Min's father's condition worsens. She is faced with the difficult decision of whether to continue pursuing her relationship with Gyeong-su or to focus on taking care of her father.

The movie explores themes of love, sacrifice, and familial responsibilities. It is a heartwarming story that showcases the importance of human connections and the power of food to bring people together.

The film is anchored by strong performances from its cast. Lim Soo-jung is fantastic in the role of Min, delivering a nuanced portrayal of a young woman struggling with her responsibilities while trying to find happiness. Oh-seong Yu, who plays Gyeong-su, provides the perfect contrast to Min's serious personality with his charming and humorous character.

Il-seob Baek, who plays Min's father, delivers a moving performance that captures the essence of a caring and loving parent who is facing his mortality. His character's love for pastry-making is also an important element of the story, as it serves as a connection between him and Min.

In addition to the strong performances, Lump Sugar is also visually stunning. The movie is set in Seoul and features beautiful shots of the city's streets at night. The food truck and the delicious Korean pancakes that Gyeong-su sells are also a feast for the eyes.

Overall, Lump Sugar is a touching movie that is sure to tug at the heartstrings of its viewers. It is a testament to the power of love and the importance of family. The movie delivers a powerful message without being overly sentimental, making it a must-watch for fans of heartwarming dramas.
