My Mini Back-story: I watched More than Blue a couple of days ago. Originally, I was pumped because there were a lot of praises for this particular movie. The rating also seems pretty high on "mydramalist". And since I fairly enjoyed Only You / Always, I thought this would be on par with it. Now I'm stumped. Storyline: I have to shrug this off my shoulders. Sorry if it starts and ends on a bad note. This is just my humble opinion. I felt like my IQ level stooped to its' lowest point. Yes, that's an exaggeration, but honestly, this film does not deserve all the praise it is/was receiving. I'm not even going to bother listing things that you should be looking forward to because it was truly disappointing. Instead, I'll just list a number of factors that frustrated me. a) Illogical. Everything could have been solved within 15 minutes, but then that wouldn't be a movie, right? I don't know what the writers were thinking. I understand that it's a "melodrama", but at least make the direction in terms of story plausible/logical for the audience. b) Draggy. I haven't seen a movie that dragged on as much as this one in a long time. There were too many unnecessary scenes, especially at the beginning with the manager and "Cat Girl"? c) Nerve-wracking characters. Why on Earth did both the protagonists have to do that? I can't mention much, since even a minor detail would be a spoiler. Besides, what was the point of this movie? Did the doctor have to be dragged in? Poor man. d) Fail attempt at being emotionally driven. I felt rather sleepy after watching this movie. There was no raw emotion that I felt from our OTP. Initially, I did think they were cute, but their idiotic actions took a toll and I changed my mind. A lot of people thought the twist was nicely done because it enhanced the quality of the movie. I think otherwise. It threw me even further away from the bell-curve. e) Lack of originality. Sure, the twist did make me go, "Ohhh" and "Ahh", but I've seen this written in short stories / fan-made fiction before. I love Korean dramas/movies despite the fact that they can be too melodramatic. Though, I cannot stand the over-emphasis of excessive melodrama in More than Blue. f) Pointless. One thing I'll say though... some of the dialogues were kind of witty. I believe that's where most of my points are going in this category anyway. Acting/Cast: The acting wasn't bad. Our three main leads played their characters nicely, despite their characters are half-dead most of the time. Truthfully, it was the characters that threw me off. I have not felt such hatred for so many characters in a movie/show in a long time. Kwon Sang Woo plays as K. He's a dull character, let me say that. For half of the movie, he looks high. I guess that's plausible under his circumstance and situation. Lee Bo Young plays as Cream. Her character annoyed me. She's not a straightforward character when she needs to be and she's too direct when she doesn't need to be. I just don't understand her actions. The acting from Lee Bo Young complemented the annoying character. I don't know if that was done on purpose. If so, she's an extremely talented actress. Music: It's only been a couple of days, and I don't remember any of the music scores. Then again, I don't remember it being horrible. Overall: Need I say more? It's a A Story More Stupid than Stupid. Horrible script in terms of storyline direction, frustrating characters, dreadful/nonsensical meaning, but good acting with good casts (at least the 3 leading actors). Sadly, the actors cannot make up for it. No matter how great the actors are, if the storyline and characters are annoying, what can the actors do? If you want to stay away from something that will waste about an hour and a half, this is the movie to stay away from. Perhaps, I'm just not a sensitive person. I'm baffled that there's a recommendation of this with A Moment to Remember. No way is it on the same level nor are they similar. The characters in More Than Blue inflict depression/sadness/pain upon themselves with their own stupidity, whereas what happened to the characters in A Moment to Remember was out of their control. Overall rating for review: 3/10 Purely for entertainment: 2/10 My Dramalist rating (avg): 2.5/10
