You Are My Sunshine (Hangul: 너는 내 운명; RR: Neoneun nae unmyeong, literally: "You are my destiny") is a 2005 South Korean film written and directed by Park Jin-pyo, and starring Jeon Do-yeon. It was released in Korea on 23 September 2005.
The official English title is named after the Jimmie Davis song "You Are My Sunshine," which is used on the soundtrack.
Seok-joong, a farmer in his mid thirties, is desperate to find a wife and settle down. After backing out of a scheme to set him up with a Filipino bride, he falls head over heels in love with local dabang delivery girl Eun-ha, and starts showering her with gifts. Although Eun-ha is initially unimpressed, she is eventually won over by his kindhearted nature, and the two get married. The couple's marital bliss is short lived, however, as Eun-ha tests positive for HIV/AIDS, and is then tracked down by her abusive ex-husband, who takes her away and forces her back into prostitution.
You Are My Sunshine was the ninth most successful domestic film of the year, selling 3,051,134 tickets nationwide, and grossing US$17,530,124. It also became the best-selling Korean melodrama film of all time, before its record was surpassed by Maundy Thursday a year later.
