To start off - I loved this movie! It was really funny in parts, different than what I'd first expected of the movie, but in a good way (: I'm definitely counting this movie as one of my favorites! Hae-Joo is a blind girl who gets surgery and is able to see for the first time. Dong Geun is her boyfriend who didn't expect this to happen, considering he told her that he was a good-looking guy...when he falls beneath the standards. Although, IMO, he isn't that horrible looking, he may not be the best looking guy but he's not ugly. Embarrassed he hides away from her. The events that take place in this movie make you laugh and fall in love with the characters.



I previously saw Shin Min Ah in My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho and I loved her acting as Mi Ho in that drama. Her role in this movie is different, but her acting is really well done. I've never seen Kim Kang Woo or Ryoo Seung Bum in anything else, but I really enjoyed watching them in this movie (:



The music isn't anything special, nothing really stood out to me.



I definitely can see myself watching this movie again, I loved it (:



Overall - watch it! If you're looking for something cute and funny it's definitely worth looking into (:

I liked the story, but the acting was bad. The costume department needs help b/c at the end they sent the lead actress to fight in a school uniform. Who goes to a fight in a skirt? Really! It just showed how sexiest some directors r & how they tried to fuel the school girl fetish. Yeah I said it! I would watch this again if it was remade w/ a little more content to the story about the sisters. There needs to be more background on their lives to understand the characters. Not just the time when they were split up. The villain was retarded & at times I felt was mentally disturbed. I figure he had obsessive compulsive personality disorder to be so hung up on a belt even if it was some famous guys belt. Neways I really don't care to ever watch this again & am kinda sorry I watched it in the first place. Even though it did have some pretty cool fight scenes.

I normally avoid short films because I like things that can keep me entertained for at least forty-five minutes. However, stumbling across this was a pleasant surprise. For a film where the actors don't say a word, not a second of filming was wasted, obviously. I caught every look, every emotion that flitted through. The music captured every mood perfectly. It's a sweet, short little film that just makes you smile the entire time.

Mulan is beautiful and touching legend. I like the plot so much, in spite I dislike war film. Everything what should be show in this film, was presented - friendship, love, loyalty, fidelity. Nowdays, in world of new technology, this movie is total science-fiction, because I can't imagine how people ran with this sabers...

And this song at the end. Beautiful. I've listened at all.

It is very interesting movie. It shows a new point of view for women and their beauty. The main character try to fight with the curse of her image in desperate way... Although, the plot is full of drastic scence, it is wroth to watch it.

I liked this story, and I enjoyed watching it. It's a little slow in parts, and it's a story I feel that you have to pay attention to fully understand what's going on. The synopsis that's given tells you what it's about. The story gives you a twist in the middle, and some might feel they need to rewatch this movie to put two and two together. The animation they give in the beginning is nice, and then as the story progress's you find yourself wondering what's the connection between her Daddy Long Legs and the woman who's house she's living in.



I haven't watched anything with the main actors before, but I have no complaints about the acting.



Music - There's some music in this movie, but not a lot and nothing that's really significant. The only song I remember is "You're Only Lonely" by J.D. Souther



I do wanna rewatch this movie again, because I feel I'd have more of an appreciation for it now that I know what to expect from it.



Overall - I feel this is a movie worth watching. It's not a comedy, but there's some romance, and, of course, drama. I think it's worth taking some time out if you're looking for something to watch

I really liked this movie. It had a western type feel to it. I think that may have had something to do either w/ the horses or the dirt. I'm not sure which. I really liked how the story progressed & how the 3 main characters were linked. There were really awesome fight/shoot out scenes. I am not sure how accurate the history is on this, but I did look up Manchuria region & how it connected the 3 countries. Well 4 if u count Russia. It was interesting the history of the region.



The male lead in Iris is "The Bad" in this movie & he does an excellent job of playing his character. "The Weird" is comes out to be more than u expect him to be in the end. "The Good" is the most accurate moving target shooter I have seen in any movie. I have never understood how they expect ppl to believe that u can hit a moving target when ur moving as much as the target. I can kinda understand if ur standing still, but moving like they do in this movie; I'm not so sure. But it is pretty cool to watch.



I enjoyed watching this movie, it made me laugh, it made me think, & it made me grossed out (cutting off body parts). I hope others enjoy it 2.

The 90s have own charm. Everything is so... different. Almost I see another world. I've watched this film with pleasure, in spite that the main character is Akanishi. I never like him on stage, when he acts... I tolerate him only, because of great voice.

I suppose that majority notice Natsu, but I'm interested in Ryuuji more. I don't know why, but he was amazing under this lamp and at the seaside.

As to LANDS' songs... I don't like this style, but it suits to the movie very much.

Perhaps, it is next strange japanese movie. After watching I say I cen't understand this plot, but the idea and this all stroy is ok. They could change this thing with cell phone-toy, which suddenly magically disappeared. I suppose that if Ryou and Shinya use this toy and they don't talk by mind, it could be more reliable. At the end, I was moved, but I don't understand why this couple couldn't meet and why there was that finish. Do they live in other space or what? Strange. Very strange.

The plot reminds me Liar Game a little, but fortunately, this movie is much better than drama. The action keeps in suspense all the time, so we can't be bored. The main character isn't naive so much or though he learn from mistakes and conclude it.

Hmm.. Though, Endo made the best business at th end.

Ahhh! I totaly dislike horrors. I watch them only on day or with friends and then I close eyes... Luckily, this curse don't scare me. It is crazy story with this unborn baby synrome, but I understand at all.

There are some brutal scenes, but rather not to much. Aww.. and the most important! Film isn't disgusting, it means there aren't nasty scenes.

Unfortunately, I'm very susceptible to all disgusted scenese and I can't watch it. Jue ming pai dui is movie, which I coudl not finish, though I tried. I've watched about half the movie, but when I substract the time, when I cover eyes, it was maybe..I don't know.. a little. My seanse was restricted to quick rewinding scence...

Maybe, I will comback to this film someday, but now... I'm too sensitive.

Crime, investigation and Jang Geun Seok. I was totaly absorbed by this film, though I was angry when I watched the end. In spite of blames, I suspect Pearson, because I saw in him... a greed? Anyway, he wasn't reliable and he described all this incident very detailed... with passion... like professinal.

Unfortunately, the end is evidence that justice often is fiction.

The story about the sick girl from 1 litre of tears is known by most of drama-fans. The movie isn't as much popular as drama and it's a pity. The film shoud be appreciated too, because though the plot is shorter, it's amazing. The cast is other one... I can't be objective about their acting, because I've fall in love with drama's cast... Anyway, everybody who love tragedy of main character in drama schould watch this movie.

I was struck by this film. Two people, whose fates would be finish soon. Suddenly, they start enjoying thier life. All decision were realize in dramatic way and this film shows it perfectly. Although, I completley don't catch this scene when they fly by this rainbow bus. Really. I was convinced they die there. Anyway, after secret resurrection, these couple achieve their purpose. The final scene is very lofty and touching...
