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 a 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, which forces her to run away and fall back into prostitution.
You Are My Sunshine was the ninth most successful domestic film of the year, selling 3,051,134 tickets nationwide,[8] and grossing US$17,530,124.[9] It also became the best-selling Korean melodrama film of all time, before its record was surpassed by Maundy Thursday a year later.
