Bag om The Picture Bride

Could you marry a man yoüve never met? Three Korean women in 1918 make a life-changing journey to Hawaii, where they will marry, having seen only photographs of their intended husbands. Different fates await each of these women. Hong-ju, who dreams of a marriage of `natural love¿, meets a man who looks twenty years older than his photograph; Song-hwa, who wants to escape from her life of ridicule as the granddaughter of a shaman, meets a lazy drunkard. And then there¿s Willow, whose 26-year-old groom, Taewan, looks just like his image ¿ Real life doesn¿t always resemble a picture, but there¿s no going back. And while things don¿t turn out quite as they¿d hoped, even for Willow, they do find something that makes their journey worthwhile ¿ each other.
