Has anyone seen the movie "Closer to Heaven" (directed by Park Jin Pyo, starring Kim Myung Min and Ha Ji Won)? Any thoughts?

Synopsis:
Ji-soo, a funeral director, happens to oversee the funeral services of Jong-woo�s deceased mother. Being old friends, they are excited by the unexpected reunion, but the reality is more bitter than sweet. Jong-woo is suffering from the incurable Lou Gehrig�s disease, and Ji-soo has been through two painful divorces. Jong-woo lightheartedly asks Ji-soo to just marry him. Ji-soo is surprised by the offer, but it doesn�t seem like such a bad idea to her. She wants to start a new life with the love that is starting to grow inside her, while the fear of losing Jong-woo scares her as well. Despite the disapproval of those around her, Ji-soo still goes through with the marriage to Jong-woo. As Jong-woo�s symptoms beginning to worsen with each passing day, Jong-woo gets easily irritable as he begins to lose control over more and more parts of his body. Even though he hurts Ji-soo�s feelings, all she wants is to stay with him and cure his disease.

It's currently shown with English subtitles in CGV Yongsan, and I believe in Cinus Myeongdong and Cinus Gangnam.
