i got il mare based on kfc's review but was wondering about the title. i got the korean version w/ the red cover.

as far as i can tell, the title is si wor eh. why is it called il mare by kfc?

You'll know once you watch it - the name of the place this all takes place at is 'il mare'... I really love this film. If you end up liking it, you might also try Ditto.

oh, i understand where il mare came from. just wondering why they didn't use the english title "a love story" on the cover or "si wor eh" (the korean title) on the cover.

i can't read chinese, but is that what it says on the HK version?

Ahh - I see what you're saying... I have the Spectrum DVD too and it does indeed say A Love Story on the cover... I don't read Korean, so I just assumed it was called Il Mare since that's what I see it as everywhere. Even IMDB lists it as Il Mare.
