A romantic nuclear bomb couple movie?

Identifilter: A modern-day east-asian movie about a girl who was apparently built as some kind of bomb or war weapon?
Roughly 3 years ago, I saw a commercial spot on television for a movie involving a girl in a romantic relationship, but apparently she wasn't entirely human because she was changing into some kind of war weapon or bomb or something. I think the promo might have run on G4. It was live action, and was NOT Machine Girl. I originally assumed the movie was Japanese, but it could have been Korean I suppose. The two images I most strongly remember from the promo are the asian couple sitting on a park bench, with lots of city skyline scenery, and a large explosion (possibly nuclear.) Maybe the girl was some kind of nuclear bomb?
Around once a month I google the odd keywords but always come up empty. Does anyone know of any movies that sound similar to this?

Best answer: Sounds like "Saikano", which was originally a manga, then an anime, and finally a live action version. Perhaps you saw the last one mentioned? Trailer here.

Response by poster: I believe you are correct, willmize. If that isn't the trailer I saw, it's close enough that i probably wouldn't remember the difference anyway! Unless somebody magically comes up with a better answer in the next few hours, I'm marking yours best answer.
