Maybe it's a South Korean trope - saturate the sad scenes with so much background strings that syrup practically drips down the screen, and one I'd just have to willingly accept. But tropes can sometimes be hard to bear if you're not used to them, such as the one in India where most of the films, even if it's a horror or thriller, devolves into a song and dance scene somewhere along the way.
"Sea Fog" is a superb production with A+ values - top notch cinematography, set design, and lighting. The acting, unfortunately, was weak in parts as it fell into a common trap of exaggerated expressions. What really subtracts from the power of the film, however, is the unnecessarily burdensome and annoying love story as well as the syrupy and over-loud background music. Take out those two elements that the film would be a joy to behold. AS it is now it's a chore to sit through.
