Secretly Greatly (2013)

My heeartttt

This movie was a unique experience that left me feeling a range of emotions. The movie began on a light note, with scenes that were playful, humorous, and full of life. The characters were full of energy and kept me entertained throughout. However, as the story unfolded, the tone shifted, and the scenes became more serious. The characters faced more problems and the direction of the movie became increasingly clear. The cute moments between the characters were heartwarming and showed how their relationships began to develop and grow as they spent time together. The heartbreaking scenes were so well executed that they left me feeling emotional and connected to the characters, but it was the ending that shattered my heart. It was a perfect blend of all the emotions that the movie had elicited in me. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who loves a film that is full of life, emotions, and great storytelling.

This was a really good movie

Story
The story was great and well thought through, but it wasn't really unique. There a lot of movies with a similar plot. This movie have a good pacing, so I gave it 8.5.

Acting/Cast
The cast that was picked out was amazing. Each actor managed to express his/her character in a really good way. At some point I even forgot that they were actors. Aseptically I really enjoyed the interactions between the main characters.

Music
The music suited the movie really well, but the music wasn't new in any way.

Rewatch Value
This movie is great. And I watched it about 10 times, so it is pretty good.

This movie was seriously good. Funny and sad at the same time, is a roller coaster of emotions with the enough dose of action in it. So, the story is about an undercover agent who lives as the fool of his neighbourhood in order not to get discovered. The performances were really good from every actor, and especially touching, as they portrayed brotherhood, friendship, loyalty but family dynamics as well. The first part of the movie is more comical, with the funny scenes replacing the action ones with ease. The second part is packed with action and drama, with the final tragic ending that concludes the movie, leaving the audience with a human, bittersweet message. I loved the fact that the ending wasn't predictable, or smoothed down so the final scene will have a happy ending. So, 8 out of 10.

The Borne Identity (North) Korean style, in other words completely different...

This movie has been on my radar for a long time, and it is good it douse have a few iffy elements that I felt un sure of making me wonder was I supposed to laugh at this and is it okay to laugh? But overall it is rally good dealing with so many interesting issues in less than two hours without getting messy, is actually pretty impressive.

The acting here was really well executed, having many of the characters portray a wide range of emotions and characters switching in between... Showing great range and is what makes this movie interesting and most definitely worth watching. It is also interesting how they use color and weather to go between comedy, action thriller modes during the movie. an element I truly appreciate.

I may write more later, I may not, but bow I finally get the whole green suite so, if only for that I recommend this.

P.S they also made great use of an umbrella, and those who know me here know what that means,... and about the ending Ill put it in a comment tagged spoiler.

learn to laugh while crying

the story is about a group of north korean spies who are given a mission in south korea. my feelings after this show are sadness, anger and despair. but in the meanwhile I laughed a lot. perhaps do you need to understand why: the story is very funny, the situations are so awkward that you cannot help but laugh. but at the same time, being human and understanding the world as it is, you very much know that these kind of dramas does happens. it does. using humans as tools, it does happens. and it is very disturbing, and sad and infuriating.
it is easy to guess then that the movie was very well done. the cast is so good that you dive into the story at once.

I highly recommend even though I hate violence. I came to watch it after the drama "crash landing on you" and didn't regret the journey. watch it with friends as it is too sad and violent for a lovers or family gathering. have fun!

This had many elements for you to enjoy. It obviously speaks to the teens of South (and North) Korea more than someone like myself, but I think you can find solace in the family-like community that Dong-Gu grows to appreciate in the end. The heartwarming bromance between Dong-Gu, Hae-Jin and Hae-Rang - all three is a joy to watch. The scenes when they are at dinner or the anchovie scene were beautiful. Dong-Gu. I like the the idea of them having to use their training in their fight scenes come later in the film. The scenes themselves were predictably brutal in Korean fashion. Although the exection of some plot points like Sang-Gu being evil or whatever felt really flat.

The ending was pretty sad with Hae-Jin and Hae-Rang dying from their sacrifices and Dong-Gu persumably being killed - at least there is a bit of hope.
