both of the leads did a really good job on the acting part , the story progresses in a way we're you'd empathise with the characters to the fullest , the chemistry was amazing and the tragedy was sorrowful :3 The direction , screenplay , taking and production were on point too , So did the movie stand upto my expectations ? I'm sorry , No . But , was i disappointed ? No again ! how on earth can i be disappointed with Ji sub . so what went wrong for me ? This is strictly my personal opinion but the obstacles for Ji-sub's character nearing the end were too much for me , at a point , i was like why ?! just why ?! that being said I understand the need of those events but yet , that was not pleasant just because it had to be there ..

Perfect for anyone who loves romance with interesting and appealing content where the romance turns into part of the characters lives as whole and not as focus of the movie. Very good.
About difficulties and challenges in life, that might be not part of our reality, but it exists in this world, and the amazing people that hold and live their lives with standards, courage and determination doesn't matter what.
Ji Sub is a perfect brooding male lead who performs his role with amazing justice making the character very genuine, not to mention fit as nobody business! Also, Hyo Joo is super cute and very natural. The chemistry between both of them, in this movie, is palpable.
Do not stop yourself watching this movie because it's from 2011, it feels very new and the fun part is that many actors from this movie are a constant presence on actual dramas.

Love heals all wounds
So Ji Sub really makes sad tortured souls with a heart of gold look so dreamy. or maybe I am just a big fan of him. I couldn't stop staring at his eyes, brushing his messy hair and hug him and say "It's alright". Jung Hwa is lucky she meet a decent guy who didn't care if she was blind, and didn't take advantage of her. It was just a bonus that Cheol Min was handsome and sexy.I actually didn't expect a happy ending since Korean movies tend to go darker than Kdramas. I really thought Cheol Min will sacrifice himself by donating his own eyes to Jung Hwa because he felt guilty that he indirectly caused the accident that made her blind. Maybe because I just recently re-watched this super classic music video of Kiss - Because I'm a Woman. LOL.
I can't say I agree with Cheol Min's idea to pay for Jung Hwa's surgery but I guess that's the best that he could do given the situation. And him not contacting Jung Hwa after was understandable since he was also in pain and needed to recover.
That scene when Jung Hwa finally recognized Cheol Min made me also cry and I'm so happy when they met again!! Cheol Min accepted Jung Hwa as she were, and likewise, Jung Hwa is there to support Cheol Min too. I believe they are still together now, and still very happy!
Rating: 8.5/10

Amazing
Damn! Koreans know how to make a good movie of any genre, where I can't watch Indian or Western romantic movies (most of them are cringy) I loved this movie. It is heart-warming!Very beautiful directed and actors did a great job along with supporting casts. And most importantly their chemistry! I can’t say enough about these two leads.... their chemistry was amazing!
I hate that some Indians blatantly copies concepts from K dramas n movies (including this one-do lafzon ki kahani) without giving credit.
Amazing Movie, 10/10
Anybody wondering about watching it? I'd recommend 100%

I'd only seen So Ji Sub in Master's Sun before, and though certainly a beautiful man and a wonderful actor, he didn't really strike a chord with me in that drama. Here, though, he hit the feels in the center. Wonderful, subtle acting - it's a true art to playing a quiet, subdued character I think and really *act*, not just not-talk. He accomplishes this wonderfully here. The main female character was lovely as well, for me she especially shined in the last quarter of the movie. Their relationship was beautifully portrayed - with nuance, the obligatory sweetness, but also a realism I'm not used to seeing in K-dramas normally. They both behaved like adults, though true to their characters.
Although the plot was predictable, it didn't detract from my enjoyment one bit. Will definitely re-watch it in the (possibly near) future.

Conheci os dois atores principaie em romances cômicos, bem leves. W e Oh My Venus. Então sempre tive essa sensação de que eles são atores que foram feitos para comédias românticas.
Porém, assistindo esse filme mudei completamente de opinião. Atores completamente versáteis que conseguiram demonstrar cada sentimento, pelo olhar, pela fala e etc.
Tanto que lembro até agora daquela cena dela colocando a lanterna no olho e NÃO PISCANDO, tremendo ou algo do tipo. Imagina o quão difícil foi para ela gravar essa cena?
Eu sempre disse que um ator que consegue atuar em um papel que é portador de alguma doença ou invalidez, é um ator muito bom. Peformar um papel de um portador de deficiência e conseguir transmitir todos os sentimentos, tornando os telespectadores empáticos? UAU.
Não posso deixar de exaltar a atuação do ator não, COMPLETAMENTE PERFEITO. Esse final foi forte, e bonito.
Um filme maduro, triste porém feliz, que te faz pensar.
Super recomendo a todos!

En cuanto a los personajes son inmejorables!! En esta película podemos ver que es cierto lo de que los polos opuestos se atraen. La protagonista femenina es una mujer alegre y divertida con comentarios graciosos mientras que el protagonista masculino es todo lo contrario, es una persona seria y tranquila, aunque todo cambia cuando están juntos. Y eso es otra cosa maravillosa de la película, ver cómo ambos van cambiando personalmente gracias a la relación que mantienen.
Como he dicho con anterioridad, al no tener escenas super románticas hasta el punto de ser cansada, la historia se ve muy fácilmente y el tiempo de la película se pasa rápido y a buen ritmo (te dejará con ganas de más, seguro).
Pero hay una advertencia!! Si vas a ver Always, es mejor que te prepares un paquete de pañuelos de papel cerca, porque creeme, lo vas a necesitar. Esta es la película que tienes que ver una y otra vez cuando tienes días en los que no te sientas bien o cuando necesitas llorar.
