THEY DON'T MAKE EM LIKE THIS ANYMORE !!

They don't make movies like this anymore.
This is a rare gem.
It appeals to you in every manner right from the get-go.
The story is simple, but the way it has been presented, acted and directed is mind-blowing.

The chemistry is too good to be true.
There's a breeze of authenticity to everything this movie has.
The casting was spot on.
Watching Cho Seung Woo as a young naive boy was so much fun.
Similar for Soo Ye Jin, she pulled it off amazingly.

Overall, I totally loved the first 100 mins of the movie but the last 20 mins are where the problem lies.
It was messy, not needed and could've been written in a much better way.
The last 20 mins disconnect from the whole idea and the smoothness with which the movie proceeded till that point.
It leaves us with a bitter taste in the mouth when it ends coz it's too far-fetched from what started as a simple story.
That is not to say it wasn't good, but when you've honey in your mouth, eating a spoon of sugared jam doesn't sit well with the taste.

The BGMs were effective, and the songs were miraculous especially the folk dance scene.
Aww, I just love this movie.

Truly a Classic.

While watching it, I pondered why it's named ' the classic ' , thinking it was a ridiculous name for such a movie.
But by the end, I realized why it was named so.






SPOILER AHEAD:

It's named the classic, coz it's a classic love/ romance story where the ML and FML try to fight against the moral and social odds, and still don't end up together.
Hence the name 'the classic'.
Kinda cool, right?
