Daddy Long Legs (Kidari ajeossi) is a 2005 South Korean romance film. It was one of four Korean movies screened at the 2006 International Fajr Film Festival in Iran. The story is loosely inspired by the 1912 novel Daddy Long Legs by Jean Webster.

Young mi Cha, is a young woman who has lost her parents and struggling to fend for herself. She receives the assistance of a stranger who pays her university fees and sends her gifts. She affectionately nicknames her benefactor "Daddy Long Legs". After completing her studies and initially struggling for work, Young mi eventually obtains her dream job as a program writer in a nationally syndicated radio station. On top of this, it has been arranged for her to stay rent free in a nice house that the owner vacated due to health reasons. Young mi believes that her good fortune is the work of her "Daddy Long Legs". One day, Young mi receives an email from the owner of the house. The email was date stamped to arrive at the house's computer on that specific day, though it was written and sent a year earlier. The email details a love story written by the unseen owner of the house. The writer confesses that she has secretly been in love with a guy since her school days. In order to be near him, she worked hard to obtain a place in the same course at the institution he was studying in. Although she didn't have the courage to introduce herself, she was happy to see him every day. The writer explains that when he got a job at a radio station, she followed him there. But then she was diagnosed with a terminal disease which would cause her to lose her memory and then die. The writer's greatest fear is not of dying, but of losing her memory, which is why she wrote the email to be sent to herself in the future. Young mi is deeply touched by the story and decides to air its contents via the national radio program to locate the young man with whom the owner of the house was in love. The story is serialized and dramatized on the air, quickly becoming an audience favorite. Meanwhile, Young mi meets Kim Jun ho, who works as a librarian in the radio station. They spend time together and Young mi begins to fall in love with him. Young mi then discovers that Jun ho is the love interest mentioned in the email. Young mi decides to end their relationship, guilty with the knowledge that someone somewhere out there has been in love with him for years. Young mi also investigates her "Daddy Long Legs", eventually learning that her current job and accommodations were the decisions of the radio station's director. She confronts him, but it turns out that the director was only acting on behalf of his younger brother, who chose to provide Young mi with her school fees and asked that she be given her current job and his house to live in. It turns out the director's brother is Jun ho, who is also the writer of the email. Jun ho had switched genders when writing the email, and lost all of his earlier memories of Young mi when they were students together and he loved her from afar; when they met in the radio station's library, it was the first time for both. Young mi is devastated by this news. She reconnects with Jun ho and they spend as much time together before his illness relapses and he dies.
