I was looking for a feel-good korean movie when I came across this, and it hit the spot!

This movie proved to me once again why korean film-making holds a special place in my heart and never disappoints. “Sunny” is a well produced tale about friendship, dreams, self-discovery and, inevitably, life itself. It’s definitely a must-watch for any Reply 1988 fans!

The girls’ gang is every girl's dream and will conquer you in a heartbeat. The acting is so spot on (both present and past) that you’ll have no choice but to feel like one of them. Their friendship is mesmerizing and their quirky personalities will fill you with pure joy.

It’s not a sugar coated coming of age story, it has some really raw moments. I also loved how they showed the social and political context at the time, always in a funny but meaningful way.The nostalgic 80’s soundtrack was the cherry on top!

It does a great job in portraying the feeling of being young and full of dreams, like you’re unstoppable and nothing could ever hold you down. When we grow up we’re told to abandon that feeling and when life happens and plans get put aside, one thing remains: friendship. This movie reminds you of being the protagonist in your own life and appreciate the people around you who make your life sunny.

Overall, I think it’s a great movie. It’s hilarious, but heartwarming. It will make you smile, but also shed some tears (it’s a korean movie after all). It’s a really touching story and became one of my fav korean movies, I highly recommend it!
