Flying Kiss

About This Movie

Flying Kiss is this quirky little gem from 2014 that marries comedy and romance in an unexpected way. The tone is light, even as it grapples with the heavier theme of illness—our lead's tuberculosis diagnosis creates a kind of bittersweet tension throughout. You can really feel the pacing shift as her dreams are put on hold, and it gives the film a unique rhythm. The performances are decent, with a certain rawness that feels genuine. It’s distinct in how it balances humor with heartfelt moments without tipping into melodrama. The practical effects—especially in showing the impact of her condition—are subtle but effective, adding depth to the story. It’s not your typical rom-com fare, for sure.

Good exploration of dreams vs. reality.Interesting character dynamics.Not your standard rom-com.
