Heart Attack (2015)

This isn't exactly a romantic movie, if you're looking for a romantic comedy, this is not. Actually, I'd say this movie is like those kind of films that invites you to think over lots of things about life, (everything from the perspective of our male character)... In other words: is like reading a diary, the diary of Yoon, is like sitting inside of Yoon's head and watch every thought that crosses through his mind and I absolutely loved that.

Probably what I loved the most about this film is that nothing really extraordinary happens, nothing extremely dramatic, unexpected or overwhelming; the film is not trying to capture your attention by doing anything movie- hollywood- like with the story (if you know what I mean)... What I'm trying to say is that this is just real life, to be more accurate the life of only one person displayed on the screen and is not a crazy, exciting, or amazing life. Yoon's life is nothing else but ordinary and (in my case) very relatable.

The plot is simple, the focus is not romance and the center of the story is Yoon and his thoughts. Even the way the movie was filmed was simple, it felt like there was someone just holding a camera and filming Yoon daily, not an entire production team living inside of Yoon's apartment. In spite of that it never felt mediocre or low budget, no, not at all.

I think the acting was really good, the actor who played Yoon succeed at portraying this typical young man that struggles to balance work, and life.

I will probably rewatch this soon, this is the kind of films that I like the most, Easy to watch but still really good, with great quality,and with a script that feels like reading a book; that's why I gave this a perfect rate.

Not your kind of romantic movie but will give you the romance of life.

Intriguing― that's my initial perception of the movie when I first watched the trailer, expecting something romantic from the leads but I received more than that after watching the movie.

The story is nothing extraordinary, it doesn't have the fancy plot and anything else dramatic, it's just something simple but I found it exceptionally beautiful. The characters are someone you can find anywhere in our society, common people, or someone you can relate to. It might give you time to think about how you deal with your life or work or relationships, or what you really want to happen. Or answer question like why it's important to have a breather once in a while. Take a break, that.

Casting was great, thus fits the role and had delivered the acting right. If you know Sunny, you can always expect more and he will exceeds that. I cannot think someone that can embody the character of Yoon better than him, on how weird but realistic he is. Davika and Violette did their part also.

For a movie that was calmed, I felt so many emotions while watching it. I don't know why but even it has a serious tone, I found some scenes so funny and the dialogues and monologues are beautifully written that made it so much interesting for me. I cried so hard yet laughing after that. Other may find it boring because nothing much is happening, but it represents the life of many and that's what it makes it a good movie.

Overall, it's a ride of fun, reflection, loneliness, love, passion, death and life.
