Cry Me A River

I knew what I was getting myself into when I started this movie. No matter how good and light hearted the comedy was, at the end of the day, this is still a war movie. So I knew what to expect and I thought I had prepared myself for it. But boy, was I wrong. The last few minutes had me a sobbing mess. Those scenes were also beautifully done.

Goddammit, they got me with the sister-brother sentiment at the end. 

This whole drama was an overwhelming roller-coaster ride of emotions, from start to finish.  So much frustrations and angst! The actors did a phenomenal job with portraying all that, so whenever they cried, it made me cry with them.  

This drama was very motivational and had such positive vibes it made me tear up a bit.  Loved how supportive they were of each other. 

The last few episodes had me in tears. I had become so attached to the characters, I had a hard time letting go. Everyone had their own unique stories/personalities and their farewells were hard but satisfying to watch. 

This was the 2nd role of Kyung Soo I've seen (right after Hello Monster) and I didn't know at the time he was an idol - let alone the main vocal in one of the biggest kpop boy groups! I thought he was a great (up and coming?) actor and boy was I in for a surprise when I found out acting wasn't his main gig. I know his group members made fun of him for his little act at the end of this movie (lol) but when I was watching it, it didn't feel cringey at all but rather raw and honest. So of course it made me cry.   

There were some hard topics and scenes shown in this drama. The FL's acting was also impressive and had me almost moved to tears at a few scenes.

It was bit of a sad ending even though it made the most sense to finish it off like that. They were sad but hopeful tears.

Similar to Tunnel, in the case that was at the center of the story. The ML's emotionally raw and honest ugly crying made me tear up with him.

This movie left me feeling shaken with a heavy heart. I was so frustrated for the injustices the main leads had to go through. I cried with and for them and their innocent bittersweet love. The main leads did such a fabulous job in their roles. I was so emotionally invested in this. Definitely deserved that Oscar nom.
