Welcome to Storyflix. In this video, we will explain Positive Physique. This movie tells the
story of a major film student preparing for his graduation project as a movie director.
His script wins a grand prize, but he faces difficulty after difficulty while finalizing
the film. He then asks his ex-girlfriend to play the main role in his production.
His girlfriend is understandably surprised at his bold request, but she agrees in any
case. Will he complete his production with success? Let's find out in Positive Physique!
Positive Physique begins by showing a family consisting of a father and a mother, also a son
and a daughter, watching a television drama in the living room. The son, a young man named Kim
Hwan-dong, later told his family that he had won a film scriptwriting competition held at his campus
and would make a film based on the script he had made. He looks so happy to have won the
competition. The plan is that the campus will fund the film because he is a scholarship recipient.
However, he and Hwang In-guk, his best friend, meet their lecturer to collect funds for the
film's production, both of them are disappointed because their campus did not provide funding for
their film. The Professor then asked Hwan-dong to recruit one of the top film actors to convince
the college to be willing to fund their film. The man suggests Hwan-dong to recruit Bang Hye-jung,
an actress who is quite successful in the entertainment field, and which is also a
student on the campus. However, In-guk explains that Hye-jung's popularity has dropped drastically
when bad rumors about that girl spread on social media. Hye-jung was reportedly on hiatus from
the entertainment world after the bad rumors spread, and now her whereabouts are unknown.
The Professor says that she is a nice girl and the rumors have not been proven until now.
Long story short, Hwan-dong then tried to contact Hye-jung, but she didn't pick up. He
also feels pessimistic that she probably doesn't want to talk to him anymore. Not long after,
Hye-jung called back. But now, even Hwan-dong is reluctant to pick up the phone from her.
Hwan-dong's childish attitude irritates In-guk to death that he has wasted a great opportunity.
Hwan-dong turns out to have his reasons why he is reluctant to contact Hye-jung.
They had a love affair several years ago. But decided to separate at the end.
The scene then switches and shows a flashback to three years ago when Hwan-dong and Hye-jung first
met at a movie theater. After watching the movie, they stop by the same cafe.
They greet each other, with Hwan-dong rather awkwardly saying that Hye-jung is
a pretty and popular girl on campus, so it's natural that Hye-jung doesn't recognize him.
But then, Hye-jung recognizes Hwan-dong as one of her juniors at the same faculty.
After that, they went for a walk while chatting casually. Hwan-dong compliments Hye-jung's beauty
and suggests she try auditioning to become an actress. Unexpectedly, becoming a famous actress
is her dream. She has attended a hundred auditions, but all of them were rejected.
Hwan-dong seemed taken aback by this, but Hye-jung was surprised by his reaction.
Hwan-dong then explains that he admires her who never gives up and keeps fighting for her dreams,
even though she has failed many times. Hearing Hwan-dong's words praising her
hard work to achieve her dreams and not only seeing her beauty, but she also becomes a little
interested in Hwan-dong. Since he has a good sense of humor, Hye-jung invites him for a date.
They talked about many things during the whole day, from their favorite drinks,
favorite music, and much more. Hwan-dong soon realizes that they don't have much in common.
However, Hye-jung is a very pleasant person to chat with and has a great sense of humor,
so Hwan-dong feels comfortable being around her. At the end, they finally kiss on a date.
In the present, they agreed to meet somewhere and discuss a film project.
They two looked awkward when they finally met again after a long time. Hye-jung said that
she had read the script sent by Hwan-dong, and was not interested in taking part in his film project.
Knowing this, Hwan-dong seemed resigned because he had already expected her rejection. But then,
she changes her mind after seeing how desperate Hwan-dong is. His film project is in danger of
failing if he doesn't manage to get a famous actress to play in the project. After signing
the contract, Hye-jung left. Unexpectedly, Hwan-dong tore the contract, because,
in the contract, he did not mention the contract value, so he tore it up and told Hye-jung that he
made the contract professionally and would meet Hye-jung soon to discuss it. However,
he soon realized that he had made a mistake by ripping up the contract.
The next day, Hwan-dong and In-guk meet their professor to ask his promise because they have
successfully recruited Bang Hye-jung. But, the professor argued that he did not promise
anything and the university also refused to fund for their film project. The professor took
advantage of Hwan-dong's past who was involved in a romantic relationship with Hye-jung,
even though he wasn't sure that Hye-jung would agree to Hwan-dong's request to play a role in
the film. Having no funds for his film project, Hwan-dong thought of many ways to earn money,
including persuading his parents. Over dinner, Hye-jung expresses his intention to borrow money
from his parents. He was immediately rejected by his parents who said that they didn't care about
his dream of becoming a famous director. Moreover, they also do not have money because they still owe
the bank. Hearing this, Hwan-dong was angry with his parents and then locked himself in his room.
Not long after, his father came to see him and gave him an ATM card without his mother knowing.
His father finally willing to lend money, as long as he promises to return it and doesn't tell his
mother. Knowing that his father still cares for him, Hwan-dong immediately felt touched and cried.
However, the balance in his father's bank account is insufficient to fund the film's production,
so Hwan-dong is forced to work odd jobs to earn more money.
Shortly afterward, he meets Hye-jung again to discuss a professional employment contract.
Hye-jung then agreed and didn't care about the value of the contract.
Hwan-dong is impressed by her reason agreed to their contract, then treats her to a good meal
where they used to go often when they were still dating. They seemed to be having a heart-to-heart
conversation until the time had passed and they almost kissed because they got carried away.
Long story short, after successfully recruiting the famous actress Bang Hye-jung as the main
character, Hwan-dong also held a meeting with the film crew, including his sister,
Han-joo, who suffers from narcolepsy. It made her often falls asleep during the day.
There's also a male cameraman named Seung-bo, whose arm is injured. Seeing the two of them,
Hwan-dong becomes doubtful whether they can carry out their respective duties.
Hye-jung then tells him that her character has a younger sister in the film.
Hearing this, the professor then recommends a girl named Mi-young, because she is a junior student.
However, Mi-young didn't meet their expectation. Besides her face looking older than Hye-jung,
she also suffers from vocal cord disorders, so her voice sounds heavy. Because everything did not go
as expected, Hwan-dong immediately felt frustrated and down. He was already feeling pessimistic,
even before they started filming. However, In-guk tries to cheer up his best friend as
they have worked hard doing odd jobs to earn money to fund the film project. But it seems
Hwan-dong is still undecided about whether to continue with his film project or not.
The next day, when Hye-jung and the crew had gathered for a pre-shoot meeting, Hwan-dong didn't
show up. They even waited until the afternoon, but Hwan-dong didn't come. Tired of waiting too long,
Hye-jung decides to leave. She then visited Hwan-dong's regular diner and found him,
who turned out to be there drunk. Hye-jung then approached Hwan-dong and told him to stop being
a coward. She said that Hwan-dong's attitude of giving up easily reminded him of the moment of
their separation several years ago. At that time, Hwan-dong was the first to decide to end their
love affair because he was too cowardly to admit that Hye-jung was an actress. Hwan-dong seems to
be afraid that later Hye-jung will become more famous and will leave him. Therefore, Hwan-dong
decided to leave Hye-jung. Even though she didn't say it directly, Hye-jung implied that she still
loved him. Hye-jung then asked Hwan-dong to focus on film projects and not to bear the burden alone
because solid teamwork is the most important thing in making a film. Not long after, In-guk and the
film crew come to the diner to cheer Hwan-dong. They don't mind getting a modest fee because the
most important thing for them is experience and solidarity with friends who need help.
Hwan-dong and the others start filming the project, where Han-joo acts as an assistant
director who will help him. The professor managed to gather junior college students who
will be the extras. Although not fully recovered, Seung-bo can do his job as a cameraman very well.
Meanwhile, Mi-young turns out to be able to act well and her face now looks younger because of the
decent makeup. Even Hye-jung now really considers Mi-young as her younger sister. In-guk, who is the
producer, seems to be busy checking everything and making sure the shooting process goes smoothly.
After completing a fairly short filming process, Hwan-dong and Hye-jung were walking together,
and they decided to make up and have a relationship again. Hye-jung then revealed
that the bad rumors about her on social media were not true and were only the work
of certain people who wanted to bring down her popularity. While holding hands, Hwan-dong then
expressed his love for Hye-jung, and she also responded to him with a declaration of love.
The moral that can be learned from this movie is: it doesn't matter how many times we get knocked
down. All that matters is we get up one more because the world's greatest achievers are those
who have always stayed focused on their goals and have been consistent in their efforts.
