We have two main characters who are trying to live after losing their partners in a car accident. The first part of the film focuses more on realizing that the people they loved will never stand in front of them again. The second part focuses on honoring the dead heroes in a way that is related to them. We see that this situation is really difficult and painful. Both characters try to cope, each in their own way.
I think the actors did a good job of portraying the characters' feelings. This movie is somehow calm. It was boring at times, but the atmosphere fit the story.

I was not let down.
I was expecting the best for this movie and ended up getting the best, I am so proud of the actors and how much they ate this movie up. I absolutely love it and will rewatch it again soon, before my space drama era ends. One thing I will never stop talking about from this movie was Jang Hyun Sook (Kim Tae Ri), she is so badass and I just couldn't stop going crazy over her the entire time, Kim Tae Ri is by far one of my favourite actors and should be yours too. I think my favourite part of this movie was when Kim Tae ho (Song Joong Ki) was able to meet Suni (Oh Ji Yul), I cried buckets at that part. Suni deserved better, I really wished she wasn't outside at that time. However, I feel like it was understandable and it really helped Kim Taeho develop his character. Space Sweepers will always have a place in my heart from now on, I'm so happy with the ending and don't even get me started with Bubs, she is SO beautiful. That's all for my review, please watch Space Sweepers, ASAP.Was this review helpful to you?

This is tough
I am a big Wang Hedi fan so ok, if you are watching this just for him just go in with expectation will only have about 20 minutes screentime and bit of a cheesy storyline with no romance angle.This does not change my opinion of Wang Hedi? No
Look these short films obviously small project that might just take 1/2 days of filming, bit of a smaller project during downtime whilst waiting for bigger project/drama to commence.
I fast forwarded the rest of the film after the panda bear got caught in the rails. Story kinda got flat. If you are a Wang Hedi fan just watch his story, that's it. His story is about him designing a platform for his grandfather to reminisce about his grandmother when they first met. That's it really!

Nice but boring if you just watched the drama.
Once I watched the drama, this was kinda boring. I think it would be fine if it's been a while since you watched the movie. I was just finished with the drama and wanted more from the couple, and someone mentioned there were extra scenes in the movie. So I watched it within mins of ending the drama.If I had not seen the drama or if I had watched the drama a month or so ago, I think it would have been fine. The movie is said to be a condensed version. But it didn't feel like there was anything cut off except maybe the sound effects before the drama episode ends that sounded like electricity. I really like that part because it was almost always on a scene where there are looking at each out and sparks are flying, so it felt perfect. The movie did not have that. Also, people online had mentioned that there would be extra scenes in the movie, but from what I found there was only 1 extra scene. So for someone who has watched the drama, it would be repetitive, but it won't be bad as a movie for someone who has not seen the drama.
It is pretty much the drama condensed into an over 2 hr movie. But I think it may be too long. As a movie in today's world people may find it long. But as someone who has grown up with Indian movies, it is just the right length.
So far mostly this review was about how it compares to the drama, But as a movie itself, it is a simple story with great chemistry from the leads. Park Seo Ham was great in this drama. He was oozing charisma and charm. They may have overdone his entry scenes (yes there was more than 1 and it was definitely fan-service) but it was drool-worthy. I can't wait for more of his stuff when he is done with military service. Park Jae chan was cute in his role as Sungwoo. I loved the push-and-pull relationship. I wish someone makes a sequel for this couple. I want more of them, while still maintaining their core personalities.

Healing story with a stunning cast and dark undertone in cake world
This movie showcases an incredible 5 stars cast in a story with an unexpected dark undertone while around the baking art. However, given its age, the film can also feel a bit outdated in the way it approaches some themes. The mix of genre is well-done and pervade little by little into the script.The pace is fast and can at time seem a bit too quick with the dialog being delivered really rapidly. This gives an energetic vibe to the picture but can also feel a bit choppy overall. Regarding the directing, there are some really good and original transitions between the scenes, which make the movie dynamic and relatively captivating to follow.
The ensemble cast is clearly the strong point here: all the main 4 actors plays very well with each other and help building a believable family atmosphere in the bakery. For once, the foreign guy (here French) is interpreted by a real native speaker who do a correct job, which therefore helps the viewer in the immersion of the world of bakery. Narratively speaking, I would have loved to see some of the plotlines a bit more developed, to detail further the characters and more particularly their future. Despite this, I'm quite satisfied with the ending.
I would recommend this to people who love one of the main cast member, and well-thought original story involving some darker themes. My advice is to try it blind, without any expectations (except if you have some triggers: you may want to check the Mydramalist tags for this).

The Lost Tomb - Bromance edition.
Yeah, I know, the whole Grave Robbers’ Chronicles is one big bromance party, but this one truly relies on the bromance a lot. The bromance is literally the reason the plot exists here.It’s a simple, fun and well executed short side story. Most of the characters have valid motivations that justify the risks they are taking. The visuals were surprisingly good. After seeing quite a few tomb dramas/movies I am honestly not sure, but I think the wacky fighting scenes are wacky and questionable on purpose - this seems like a stylistic choice and not the lack of effort on the production team side.
I also appreciate all the deaths. The Tomb installments never shied away from killing side and supporting characters, but here I appreciate that they actually showed the kills.
Acting was great, dubbing - not so much. The line delivery was great, it just barely matched the movement of the mouth. At times it became distracting.
Overall, a quick and enjoyable watch. For sure it serves as better entertainment if you know and like the characters.

For the story, this is me as someone who watches a lot historical dramas (like Jumong that character is mentioned in the movie, worth to watch and understand what's the importance of this actual historical figure) and movies and who is interested in the actual history which the story take place. It is a quite a straight forward story with little twist, me who watch many war dramas I kind of already predicted what is going to happen in the story, at the start of the movie around the first 15 minutes it felt slow to me, it only picks up when the 2 main characters meet. Some of the side characters that were interesting I wished they were given enough time to show their background and backstory as I didn't feel the emotion when something happened to them. So the only interesting characters are your 2 main characters.
The acting were good in the movie, the standouts to me were the 2 main actors. Music was not memorable but good for the scenes. Overall I enjoyed this movie.

Graphic Violent and hard to watch.
RANT! Just Skip Fabricated City! Friday night Just me and my Wook. The Good news is that I really love seeing JCW... he can bring the action and the tears and everything in between. The bad news is I forget how "gritty" Movies tend to be. The entire movie was so very grim and hard to watch. The (action) movie progressed so quickly that it left zero time for character development. The tragic events happening to JCW's character was horrific but I felt a sense of disconnect because I knew nothing about the character and was hoping that the movie would slow down on the graphic events to show us the effects on the characters psyche and motivation. Instead it is glossed over with more action and violence. The Bad guy is a predictable and badly written Bond villain (not as bad as the King 2Hearts Villain). My last rant for this movie is that someone in editing decided to speed up all the foot chases and car chase scenes. It makes the movie seem cheap and poorly produced.Trigger warning this show is very violent and JCW bears the brunt of all this violence.. It also has a very graphic scene in prison which is hard to watch and unnecessary! My final assessment... Skip this movie... especially if you are a JCW fan... You will thank yourself later

Love confession
A girl asks her friend to set her up with his tutor. He prefers keeping him to himself!A cute short movie (4min) telling the story of a developing relationship between a student and his tutor!
The whole movie takes place at a school desk while two boys silently communicate through written messages and smiles. It is cute, simple, straightforward story. The guys have really good chemistry and it would be nice to see a longer version of . this short movie.
It is a single set, interiour, filming being focused of writing messages and though sound editing might be a bit off, it is perfect for what it is and what it tries to convey!
Even as it is, describing a moment ending with a kiss, is spot on expressing tension, apprehension, fear : every emotion a teenage boy might feel as he discovers the rollecoaster ride that is the first love and the confession!

It took me 3 attempts to get into this movie. The exposition and introduction to the characters and plot is just way too long - this ain’t that deep, there ain’t no complex lore to flesh about. It’s as basic and predictable as it gets. Just move on to the wacky supernatural deaths…
I honestly think the movie should lead more towards a B class horror movie and deliver entertainment. Somehow, I felt like they were trying to be a little bit too serious about it all. In the end it was neither entertaining nor interesting.
Nanon’s acting was too good for this production. Cherprang gave me close to nothing - flat from opening till the end.
Production value was fine. Closer to the end we’ve got some nice supernatural moments and the CGI was decent.
Overall, the biggest issue I had was the fact the movie was simply boring.

Offered no original story, but definitely offered great comedy
Crash Landing On You meets Joint Security Area added with a comedic twist. I was reminded on these shows while watching 6/45. Basically, this movie replaces Yoon Se-ri from CLOY with a lottery ticket that lands in North Korea, while diffuses the aggresive tension between the North and South Korean soldiers when they met in contrast to JSA.6/45 was nice in that it builds up the plot gradually. It introduced its main characters, the South Korean soldier Park Chun-woo (Go Kyung-pyo) and his North Korean counterpart Ri Yong-ho (Lee Yi-kyung), in a proper yet funny manner. Although the progression of the storyline itself was somewhat slow in the first half, the comedic tension between the two provided relief. Their encounters were already funny in itself, and when more people now knew about the lottery ticket on both sides, it became more hilarious, my stomach actually was hurt. Personally, the funniest side character was the most unexpected one. I was just gasping for air during his moments, and at times overshadowing some of his superiors in terms of execution of his comedic lines.
Was waiting for a shocking ending, but I was glad it ended the way it did, for the most part. Honestly, I can't say that I was fully satisfied with the ending maybe because of some loose parts. First, the movie could've created more build-up and screentime to the "villain" since honestly his characterization was just more of a story filler rather than part of the story itself. Second, the "romance" sub-plot ended rather vague, although it is possible due to the present circumstances of the two Koreas.
It is more satisfying to watch this movie without any expectations, since the comedy itself presented here is not new nor innovative. The story may be simple and at times hysterical, but what I appreciated the most here was the great comedic timing with the most hilarious delivery possible. Furthemore, I think that the humor in this movie would be appreciated more for those with background on inter-Korean politics and military and would try to imagine a funny film scenario about it, since 6/45 fits the criteria quite well. Otherwise, it is highly suggested to skip this.
After the post credits scene was shown, I had an ear to ear smile while also being curious as to what happened to all of them next. Generally, I had a fun time even though I was just expecting that I would pass time watching this movie. 6/45 offered no original story, but definitely offered great comedy.

Educational
First and foremost this is an educational movie. The characters spend valuable time explaining the meaning of polyamory, ACE , libido and the doubts stemming from them!A gay couple is in love with MinHo, who is ACE in spite of a sex drive because he has phobia of all body fluids. As I understood it here, one is ACE because of a psychological problem? SeongJin, though considered dumb, asks valid questions everyone wonders about! Some time is spent on a girl, who found a way to deal with her ACE issues. MinHo is afraid, has doubts and every time he is with the men he loves, he puts a physical barrier between himself and them be it a pillow or a photo camera!
Cinematography in this movie is stunning and the overall vibe is giving me a 70s' movie feeling:peace and love and freedom (in a nutshell!). The movie is too short for us to know more about the characters apart from their sexuality!
This should be a really watched for its educational value! And can and should be watched and rewatched....

Watch it if you wanna get frustrated over stupid little plot holes!
Let me just say this first: this review contains SPOILERS!If there's one good thing about this movie, it's the acting. As a fan of Sol Kyung Gu, I can say you'd never get tired of his acting. Although this is obviously not the best performance of him, it's still great. I also like how the actor played the role as his son. The father and son did nice jobs, but the rest is so so.
Now let's talk about the story, it's nothing new about a story of a kid being bullied violently. However, it doesn't mean you can't create a masterpiece or a superb piece without originality. And looking at the cast, it's obviously not a low budgeted film. Yet, I'm disappointed about stupidity of the director and writers.
The first one is about the teacher. I mean, no matter how she is new to the job or whatsoever, it isn't like she came from Joseon dynasty. She has like a whole day or more to take a picture of the kid's note as a proof, especially if it's involved about school's violence and definitely if a superior person demands to hold it despite that the letter being addressed to her.
Another one is Sol Kyung Gu's character recently check his son's group chat. And I mean all the evidence including the videos are still in the chat log. But let's just say he deleted it, I think he should've at least try to retrieve it or something. And then, there's this drone. If I were him, someone whose son is wrongly accused of, I'd check anything and everything which of course includes the drone. It doesn't even seem to me that the son hide it and also didn't throw away the chip (which is also a bit ridiculous because it seems like he's still holding onto it till after everything). And on top of that, the father being a known lawyer and being careless like that doesn't help at all.
There are also other minor plot holes that I forget to mention. But aside from that, I also don't like how the movie ends in a bit of rush. It feels like they end it like that because they gotta end it this way.
Honestly, it's a rather boring movie with expected twists and plot holes throughout the movie. In fact, it didn't thrill me at all. And what's more disappointing to me is it's such a waste of great cast for such child play -_-

Horror BL
This is my first ever Bl movie, And to be honest it would have been better if it was longer and i love how their love was he was a ghost that fell in love with a human and sacrificed his soul for him, and he was a human that was in love with a ghost that tried to see him again. I'm not usually a huge fan of sex scenes but this one i didn't mind. To be honest i want this made into a series i would love to see how these two would turn out, will their story be happy or sad? and will that dude try everything to ruin it ?I would totally watch that series immediately.
