Maybe you should give it another go, Alan was so cute in this. With he had even more screen time. He and his male…
That's what I meant I was team Jiu Wang/Alan Yu all the way. I loved him and his buddy. The ML was too abusive for me. And I loved Crystal as well, she was convincing and entertaining as a man/woman. :) I watched it on YouTube. Not sure if it's still up on there. One of these days I'll go back to it if I can find it.
I had a different experience than the reviewer. The first two hours were mainly about a communication self-help class and the conversations afterward. I would rather have spent that time meditating with my face to a wall. The next hour and a half had some moments of interest. The last two+ hours almost made me lose the will to live. This should have been titled "Miserable Lives of Quiet Desperation". Maybe I wasn't in the mood for it, but this was not my cup of tea. It didn't help that the lighting and sound were awful. I'll stop. If you loved this movie, I apologize for my rant. Please skip over it.
I struggled with the first third of this movie but it slowly pulled me in. The last two thirds were sweet and fun and I stopped wanting to throttle Shi Fen. :)
It felt like the battle of Helm's Deep without the elves. I was impressed with the resiliency and resourcefulness as well as the heart and courage of the people defending their home against forces far greater in number and with superior weaponry.
It was okay. Some of the surgeries she had would leave scars but that’s an element of realism this movie was not going to touch. The ML showed his colors early on and he failed to win me over even though he did come to appreciate her. The FL could have used better character growth as well
I loved this quirky romantic movie. Every time I see Son Ye Jin in a movie or drama I like her more. :) I just watched Lee Min Ki in Monster and Because This is My First Life and I knew that he could play menacing and quiet very well, but I wondered if he had any drama depth. I wonder no more. It was good to see him smile and acting relaxed. There were a couple of scary moments for a scaredy-cat like me but mostly it was romantic and funny. I would not have any problems recommending Spellbound. :)
I love watching curling at the Olympics so that aspect of this special was fun. It was okay. Sweet and sad. I scored it what I do most romance dramas and movies that are entertaining.
I had a hard time connecting with the characters emotionally on this film. Some of the story elements felt over the top and in a movie about HIV it could have used more realism.
I liked the twisting, turning path this movie took the viewer on. Probably my favorite LBH role and that includes Mr Sunshine. He seemed more natural here.
I didn't like this movie, but I didn't hate it either. It was interesting and entertaining in a twisted way. I would be very thoughtful about who I recommended it to.
I wanted to like this. I really did... but was ultimately let down in the end. The story was just too messy for…
I'm on board with you. I dropped it awhile back but picked it up for a requirement on the 2020 Challenge. Longest 2 1/2 hours of my drama life. I feel like I lost brain cells on this movie today. The worst thing about it for me was not that it was weird or violent, but that it bored me.
I enjoyed it. It wasn’t great but it was entertaining and heart warming. :) I love ski jumping as terrifying as it is and this movie had some good ski shots.
