Um I really am quite taken aback by this one. I just happened to fall upon this film and I decided to watch it after seeing the preview. Although the story line was very predictable and at times tiring, it is definitely worth holding on and finishing till the end. And that's because the end is going to sadden you in a way that you didn't think was possible from a movie in which none of the main characters even die. That's the shocking thing about this movie. You look at the typical subject matter and though you are jumping in your seat as the climax builds towards the end of the film, you would never expect it to end the way it does. If you're someone who is used to tearjerkers, this is one that will hit you where it really hurts. The reason for that is because you realize that it is so much sadder for the people who have lived on, than the people who have died (although they are irrelevant to the story)-and thats what distinguishes it from most k-movies. It is in fact a love story, but its a different kind of love that isn't portrayed in most movies. I say all this to say that I love and hate this movie because it struck a nerve in me, and because it left me wanting a better life for the ending characters. That's why I gave this movie such a low rewatch value because it is painful enough the first time you watch it. That being said, overall, it is a very good movie because it delivers a strong message at the end. But you will no doubt have a love/hate relationship with this film.
