Short, simple and beautiful
It's amazing how this short movie succeed in making me cry and feel that emotional in just 30 minutes.I really liked this movie because it's a simple story. There's nothing special with the main couple, nothing special with the plot. Its simplicity shines for itself and it's really great to watch it and feel your heart getting warm.
The photography and the background music is really relaxing. The love is in the little things: their simple acts to touch in each other arm or their little smiles are full of chemistry.
Park Hyung-Sik is a great actor and I'm getting more and more impressed with his skills for now (even though this drama was released before I met his projects). It's the first time that I see Han Ji Min acting and I'm in love with her. They really did a great job in this. I really recommend it!

I'm a sucker for good cinematography and this one does not disappoint. The lighting of the scenes is so pleasant and helps build on the hopeful tone of this short film, and the soundtrack is simple but in a way that settles gracefully in the background. Han Jimin and Park Hyungsik are wonderful together, and their sweet and simple interactions are what have me revisiting this short film every so often when I'm looking for a quick pick-me-up. (Really hope they do a drama together in the near future!) There isn't really time for full-on character or plot development-- it's thirty minutes long-- but in those thirty minutes, this film really delivered what it could.
I can't say whether the actors' portrayal of vision impairment was accurate, but from an outsider's perspective I feel that the subject was handled well, and what I especially liked was how optimistic it was.

“Wow. You must be a great pianist.”
“Not all mechanics are good at driving.”
Slow moving and sweet.
The drama has gentle story telling and gentle characters.
It has a nice and different feel for a Korean show. If you skip past the credits at the end you’ll see another touching scene.
I've only seen Han Jimin in Rooftop Prince and her personality in this show reminded me of her character in the historical setting in that one. I was impressed with how she moved her eyes.
I haven't seen Park Hyung Shik in anything but he was rather cute in this.
My favourite parts are probably when they're trying to find each other.

Delicate and heartfelt
If you watch NOTHING else ... Watch this! This Short film is beautiful... It is ONLY 25 minutes long (don't forget to watch until the end there is an extra scene after credits) and I can not express how touching it is.I can only find it on you/tube. If you havent seen Park Hyung Sik in anything... this is a perfect introduction to his amazingly underrated talent. His face is so expressive.
This short film (an advertisement for the Relumino visual aid product seen in the film) is nothing but genius. The characters quickly pull you in and the story feels so very intimate. You will be shocked at how quickly you come to care about these characters and will be equally surprised how quickly it is over.
I would have loved to see a full length drama telling the story of all the characters...

if you ever come across this please don’t skip it and just watch.
God has sent everyone in pairs, it is just that you haven't found your match yet and this story is exactly that. Two visually challenged people meet at a photography club, fighting their own demons. They both are sensitive to receiving help from others.Being an observer I can say they might feel a bit defensive as to many people are not helpful when in need. Also, those helping out might be dangerous too. But there are good people too who genuinely help people. but don't judge others who don't want to receive help, respect them. we don't know what they have gone through.
we also see many other characters and how they speak up about their life positively. It brings joy to see that this world has hope in various ways.
Watching this 30min movie gives a calm relaxing feeling just like watching a sunset on the beach. It also motivates me to help others who are deprived in some way. God has given me a healthy body and I should be grateful to for it.
Han Ji Min acted with her eyes and its brilliant.
Park Hyung Sik is excellent too spreading his charms.

Never ever take anything in life for granted!
I remember checking the MDL page of Wonderful World and in the next few minutes I don’t remember how I ended up here but I’m more than happy I did.Two Lights: Relúmĭno is a beautiful beautiful short film of visually impaired people. I wouldn’t have believed this is an advertisement of Samsung’s technology if they themselves didn’t upload this in their Samsung Electronics YT channel.
The story is really heartwarming. Most of us tend to pity people with impairments and don’t immediately think that they might’ve made peace with that fact and are living life with or without the help of other people. I loved how this showed what they go through, how they pursue their hobbies and how the technology help them. That ‘dreams’ part made me sob. We really do take life and all the things in it for granted. We don’t really appreciate it unless and until something happens. The story really made me learn many things, made me question myself, made me look through things in different perspectives, made me change my opinions and made me appreciate life a little more. We don’t know what we’ve in this second will surely be there in the next. Happiness do lie in little things and beauty does lie in the heart.
All the artists did a great job. Loved Park Hyung Sik and Han Ji Min’s chemistry. Would love to see them together again in a 16-ep drama. Music is good too.
Low rewatch value because I want to remember the feelings I felt watching this for the very first time.

It's a 30-minute movie on YouTube
I happened upon this gem quite by accident. I almost don't know what to say. Start with the fact that Park Hyung Sik is in it, need I say more? But that's not the point (well, not totally).This film was quiet, slow and calm. It was beautifully filmed in blues and grays with filtered and hazy camera work. Close up camera work made me feel like I was in the world of the visually impaired. We only got a token look at a couple of the characters because of the time constraints, but this film demonstrated the difference between assisting those with disabilities and pitying them.
I loved seeing all the classmates interact with one another. I appreciated those that are willing, able and have the heart to work with the disabled. Also, the hidden heartbreak - pay special attention to when the middle schooler is taking a picture of his mom - her face just brought me to tears.
I was tempted to rate it a little lower because it WAS so short, but then thought that they probably would have made it too long anyway, with too much filler, and all the magic would be lost.
This is one I will definitely be revisiting.

this is very shallow to be a movie or even mini movie
if you want me to feel the anguish of blind people, you didn't even gave me the space to do that
and what that stupid love story... WHEN, HOW AND WHERE did they have the space or time to love each other
this was too annoying to call it romance
SURPRISE.... even if they are going to fall in love from first sight it can't be -_-
and they didn't even have time according to the very few situations between them
so this is totally illogical
and the ML wasn't nice at all i saw him aggressive except at the end
this is definitely a pure advertise for samsung electronics only

Corto ma bello.
Un cortometraggio che racconta una storia molto carina e dolce.Due giovani ipovedenti si incontrano e anche senza vedersi bene si innamorano.Vivono in un mondo di ombre ma sono comunque capaci di avere un hobby come la fotografia, divertirsi e fare amicizie.Bellissimo il gruppo di amici anche loro ipovedenti che praticamente tifano per loro fin dal inizio.
I protagonisti bravissimi attori e pure il resto del cast.
Purtroppo troppo corto per apprezzare al massimo la storia ma comunque un bel film,da vedere.

Perfeito
O único defeito é que é muito curto. historia linda, que faz a gente desejar colocar os personagens num potinho e proteger do mundo. o Park Hyung Sik está lindo e sua atuação está excelente. Você percebe que ele está abalado pela mudança de sua condição visual através da rudeza de seus atos. A Han Ji Min, por outro lado, traz a doçura de alguém que já se resignou com a condição, mas que busca a felicidade nas coisas simples.a cena final, dia dois na exposição, não poderia ser mais perfeita. Gostei tanto que já assisti 3 vezes. ❤

Conmovedora historia
Es un corto demasiado lindo, lo descubrí hoy y me puse a verlo, es una historia conmovedora con sus dos protagonista padeciendo una enfermedad visual que hace que vayan perdiendo la vista.Como dije es conmovedora y transmite muy bien las emociones, dan ganas de llorar y te muestra que siempre sin importar como puedes encontrar personas que te acepten y quieren como eres, aun sin poder verte pueden conocerte y aprendes a confiar en tus otros instintos.
La recomiendo mucho a todos y si son muy sensibles preparen un pañuelo porque es demasiado conmovedora y si como yo no son de fácil lagrima, pues sentirán la historia en el corazón.
