Viva! Love (Hangul: 경축! 우리사랑; RR: Gyeongchuk Uri sarang; lit. "Celebrate! Our Love") is a 2008 South Korean romance film directed by Oh Joum-kyun. It won Best Film at the 45th Baeksang Arts Awards, as well as several Best New Director prizes for Oh.
Bong-soon is a middle-aged housewife who runs a lodging house. She lives with her good-for-nothing husband who's quietly having an affair, and her selfish, unemployed daughter Jeong-yoon whose boyfriend Gu-sang is a tenant who owns the neighborhood laundromat. When Jeong-yoon finally lands a job, she moves out and abruptly breaks up with Gu-sang. Bong-soon sees the heartbroken Gu-sang drinking away his sorrows, and taking pity on him, she takes him home and attempts to comfort him. One thing leads to another, and the two sleep together. To her great surprise, Bong-soon ends up pregnant with Gu-sang's baby. Despite the age gap and the neighbors' disapproval, the two fall in love and Gu-sang makes Bong-soon feel like a giddy teenage girl again.
