For some reason I just couldn't get into this movie. Even though it's not as long as a series, it took me way longer to finish it.

I felt it started off really slow and everything was kinda slow-paced and dreamlike. I just couldn't get into it. The acting was okay but it was kinda either over-the-top or bland, no balance in the middle.

The visuals were all really pretty and it got better towards the end. I actually really liked the ending. But that's all I liked about it. Kinda a disappointment.

I resent the high 10's given by some people, because I immediately thought this would be a good movie. It was sweet and unassuming in a way, and I did manage to reach the end of it. But it was sooo...uninventive. The Japanese must really like their scary girls (Nobuta etc) transformed into social butterflies. It explains why there are so many dramas/movies just orientated at this one demographic. But despite me liking the actors, I genuinely found myself not caring much. Watch, if you have nothing else to do. You will like it to some degree, but by how much, would vary on the individual.

Although very excited to watch this movie when I first saw it (as I thought the drama drags a bit) the reviews sort of made me unsure and I wavered. However don't be put of as it is well worth a watch even if you are a fan of the drama.

Although only a 7 for the story as some scenes tend to jump which can be a little confusing, lovely music and fantastic acting by Kim Ha Neul and Jang Geun Seok more than make up for it. With emotional moments and hilarious pet scenes to keep you entertained through out the entire film and into the credits as well.

If you watched Tada, Kimi Wo Aishiteru, this is the older version of that movie...You can easily notice, both movie share the same name of lead actors and the general plot..

But both have different way of expressing the plot..You will know if you watch both movies...kekeke!!!

This one is a little darker while Tada Kimi was more of romance...So watching both is not like your repeating watching something that you already watched.I can say that Tada Kimi focused on before they got separated, while Love Collage is the after.

Overall the story is good, it's just that there are some silly scene that can be taken out and be replaced of we can say much more needed scene..It also lacks in the sense of musicality. But nevertheless I liked the movie. I also like the way how they show the love of Shizura to Makoto. And lastly I loved the photographs:-)

I was actually afraid to watch this movie at first. My friend only told me about how violent the movie was, but nothing really else. But it turned out to be really good despite the violence.

To be truthful I don't really like serious movies. But even though this movie was serious, it was very moving also. The story plot really breaks your heart and feel for the main character. The movie is violent and is graphic in some parts. The movie overall is not for children! So if your looking for a good family movie, this may not be it.

This movie remind me a lot of Taken (staring Liam Neeson) but I will say this movie is much better! Though the plots maybe similar, Man From Nowhere is much more intense and filmed a lot better.

I do recommend this movie to all action lovers! Also if your a big fan of suspense or Won Bin, then this movie is also right for you. This has to be one of Won Bin's best!

This is not a scary movie! I didn't want to watch it at first thinking it was going to be scary, but it's not. It's a lot of fun, but the fun where you really want to keep watching! I will say, I cried at the end.

This is a must watch to all Won Bin action lovers :)

This is one of my favorite movies. I didn't read the manga or watch the Japanese drama version however, so I can't compare the movie to that. But I really enjoyed the movie.

At first I thought the story was a little odd, but as I watched the movie, the story was actually really sweet. I love the two main characters and their beginning relationship, and the development they have together. It's not a very serious movie, but was very sweet.

My only complaint would be the ending, but I feel it was made up during the credits where they show the after situation. So if you do watch this movie, promise you will watch the credits.

I recommend watching this movie if your in the mood for a fun romantic comedy. Also, if your a Jang Geun Seok fan, I think you'll like this movie too ;)

I have to admit this is one of my favorite movies. It's based off a manga that I also loved and I thought the movie followed the manga pretty well. Of course the movie didn't cover everything, but it covered a good amount, and had a good ending which I thought was very cute.

This movie however is not a serious movie, if anything, it's just a cute and silly love story. Some people would maybe find it too silly at times, but I like that. The movie I have to say was predictable, but at the same time, still kept my attention with all the jokes and turning which would be a very serious situations fun and cute to watch. The characters were all lovable and the story was super sweet.

I recommend watching this movie when you have nothing to do or in a mood for a good romantic comedy. I watch this movie all the time when I have a couple of hours to spare. Don't watch it, however, if you want a serious, intense love story, that will get you crying and feeling that pain for love. It's not that kind of movie!

So far, all the friends I showed this movie too also really liked it. And of course I never mind re watching it with them.

Enjoy :D

In my opinion, this is a movie about what a desperate brother with great abilities with the bow and arrow will do to save his little sister. This is not about loyalties to your country, or the greater good. This is about a last promise made to a father and the blind need to protect the sister you raised as your daughter.

I liked and enjoyed this movie. I like well made action movies and this one did a wonderful job with their action scenes. The scenery was incredible and the story was interesting enough. The characters and depth of the story I felt was lacking a bit of weight, but overall I felt it was all well acted and made.

The movie is 2 hrs+, but I did not feel it. That time is mostly made up with the action. I had honestly never watched a movie in which arrows were central to the story. This movie did an amazing job with it.

I recommend it if you like fast paced action movies, have a couple of hours to spared.

Wow, I watched this just now and I am still speachless. I started watching it without knowing how long it was going to be. Maybe that would have shocked me off if I had known - I am glad I didn't.

As for the story, of course it is totally extreme, vulgar and shocking, but it was acted out incredibly good, without making fun of any of the really serious subjects and without being laughable.

The characters were thoroughly thought about and there were no stereotypes. There were no "good" and "bad" characters, either.
Of course the acting was great. You must be a great actor to pull off extreme scenes like there were so many in this movie. It must have been really, really hard.

I would recommend everyone who's old enough (well as said before, it IS kind of extreme) to watch this. It is definitely worth it and a masterpiece.

This was a good movie. The story was well told. Some of the acting was a little cheesy but over all it was good. I think the story was a little hurried. It would have been nicer if it has lasted a little longer. I liked that it wasn't just about 1 type of dance. It is nice to see all types of dancing being recognized. I enjoyed the way they expressed how emotional dance can be & that the expression of that emotion is more important than the technique being flawless. Rly enjoyed it.

This movie was mine first Korean movie that I acknowledged that it's indeed Korean and not just "Asian movie". Maybe this review will be a little to much sentimental, forgive me ^^ I just have so good memories watching this!

Story for me is outstanding, truly! I never watched story about gang master which decides to become wife, to fulfill last wish of her dying sister. And then all sort of hilarious stuff begin! Seriously I thought I will never stop laughing.

Every character has unique background story, which will make you laugh, cry and excited. I never liked "flying/fighting/scenes" that's way I avoided Asian action movies. There is some flying around in this one, but it did not damaged this movie to me.

Music is nice fit with the story. Sister love is so moving and chemistry between husband and wife OMG! Even a thought of that makes me smile.

Overall it's just great actions comedy which I encouraged you guys to see for yourselves ^^ Have fun.

Omg this movie is sooo funny! The plot was good and i liked the fighting scenes. I wasnt into the romance though cause the chemistry between the leads wasnt there. The ending was nice though.

The acting was very good by the leads but the casting just didnt work for me. Lee Bum Soo was perfect and lovable as always but the Chinese actress who plays the lead wasnt likeable at all. I think it could have worked if they had her speaking Korean when she got to Korea at least instead of speaking Chinese the entire movie. I did like the supporting characters who were apart of LBS's gangster posse.

Overall this movie has a lot to entertain but i wont be watching it again cause i really did not like the main female character at all.

I enjoyed watching this movie. This dark, twist bad-cop good-cop plot. Story line is not outstanding, there were some nice turn-ups I have to say, but overall this movie did not made me curious what will happened next.

If you like movies about dirty cops go ahead and watch it, you will like it. But if like this kind of movies and you watched a lot of them, this one will not surprised you in the good way.

Acting was great, mine eyes seek only for Joo Won of course ^^ but Uhm Tae Woong stole this movie from him. He was the shining star, actually whole story we see thought his eyes. There is nice chemistry between them, thought mutual goal characters can overcome their differences and finish what their started, fighting for justice. Even if truth isn't always what they want it to be.

Music good, whole instrumental gave me nice vibe thought the story. Great fit with the scenes.

Movie worth watching because of the actors, nice action movie with cool lines and even few funny moments.

Miao Miao is a very simple human movie. The plot is very bare but if you like calm movies with a go with the flow type of feel than you might like this. If you like faster paced stuff where things are actually going on to keep you engaged than this is not for you.

I thought the acting was really good and I was invested in the the 3 main characters. I wanted to follow thier stories and know more about their pasts. Surprisingly enough the character who stood out the most was Chen Fei's dead lover who had only flash back scenes. Chris Wu did a great job of making that small role that he had stand out.

There are 2 love lines in this but none developed by the end which made me disappointed. Because of the ending i dont really have an interest in watching this again.

Overall Miao Miao is watchable because its very short and the acting is very good but it wont be a movie you'll remember.
