Impressively serene, spiritually awakening, with an outstanding depiction of a floating isolation, this movie is worth seeing for the cinematography alone... Full of metaphors and Buddhist symbols (without being religiously focused) it subtly yet quite poetically highlights life's and nature's beauty and wonders.
It never crossed my mind that, in a japanese movie, a Korean actress would be the absolute scene-stealer! But, after all, it's Bae Doo Na we're talking about...
This slow-paced and emotional film is a call for love and for the diversity of love. It reflects, in a subtle and silent way -enhanced by the magnificent snowy landscapes of Hokkaido and the poetic moon and winter sky frames- the obstacles, sacrifices and yearning that many people in the LGBTQ community have to face when they're forced to conform to the “social order.”
Very well-written, with a slow but perfect build-up and an awesome plot-twist, so unpredictable and full of tension! Impeccably choreographed action scenes and excellent performances from both Kim Da Mi and Choi Woo Shik.
I started watching this 20 yo drama out of curiosity, just to see some of my favorite Korean actors and actresses at the very beginning of their acting careers (btw, it's incredible how little they have physically aged in two decades!) and I was so pleasantly surprised by it! Well-written, with a strong cast, great chemistry and excellent acting - much better and more intriguing than many modern dramas that repeat and recycle the same old cliches over and over... And, most of all, I really enjoyed Jang Hyuk's rebellious youth, struggles and character growth
Enjoyable for a family with kids movie-night, otherwise the plot may seem too predictable and the humor too childish... The best thing was the 'bromance' between Tae Joo and Man Shik!
I still can't believe that Jeong Ji So, who plays the mysterious & eerie Baek So Jin and is only 20 yo, is the most intriguing and captivating character, even though I really like Sung Dong Il & Uhm Ji Won! She got my attention in "Parasite", but here she really proves her talent. Some great things are ahead for her:)
I was looking forward to this article and it turned out to be even better than I expected! Thanks for all your research and efforts! Wonderful outcome ♡
One of the most refreshingly zany Police-Forensics-Investigation dramas I've ever watched! Stellar cast and cameos and Kimura Takuya was a pleasure to watch, as always!
Excellent depiction of real life struggles of disabled people, through the delicately tough approach of an optimistic, sweet Yuma and her journey to self discovery and independence.
A relaxing and entertaining light comedy-action drama with a wonderful sismance. Haruka Ayase, Ryoko Hirosue and Tsubasa Honda had excellent chemistry and the scenes with their trio were always a pleasure to watch :)
The movie is well-written and beautifully shot, with magnificent scenery, many poignant moments and top-notch performances from Kim Young Ok, Kim Sae Ron and Kim Hyang Gi. Even without featuring explicit scenes, KSR and KHG successfully managed to depict the heart-wrenching agony and pain suffered by the comfort girls, as well as their friendship, support and courage.
