Not gonna lie this movie was a lot!

I did mostly watch Sky of Love for the Mr. Miura Haruma because I really like his acting. I loved the very very beginning of the movie because it was going so great but I didn’t expect it to escalate as it did at all. Like the rollercoaster hit a LOT of bumps in this movie. Life got hard in the movie real quick. I can say I really liked the emotional and sentimental things that happened because it taught me things about life that I didn’t really think about. It may have been a sad and stressful movie but I’m glad a watched it. Overall the movie wasn’t bad it’s just a lot to take in.

This was not what I expected at all!!???

First and foremost I thought I was crazy for watching this because of how the cover looked. I definitely knew some stuff was bout to go down. I also really only watch this to see Junyoung act in something else again because I really liked his acting in Imitation. As I started watching the movie it took me a while to figure out why it was called Love and Leashes in the first place. A while later I would figure out why. I still thought I was crazy as I countinued to watch the movie but it got interesting and I started to really like it. When it came to the end I thought it was a great funny and cute ending. Overall it’s a good watch and if you wanna watch something interesting and outta the box this is the a good movie for that.

idk what people thinking

I watch this and I don't know what people thinking and why don't they understand it (probably they have sold their minds) why they all call this movie boring, wth does all we watch is fighting scene. that is a good movie..
if you have 2 hours and wanna watch something then give it a try, i even don't like stranger things and I thought I won't like it either but I stuck with this.
looking forward for part3.

acting is so good.
story was simple yet interesting.

and I watch it cause of I like the witch part first and for all those hate comments.

I enjoyed this series and if someone find it boring ?just get a brain wash treatment..

those who don't like this movie calling me
tasteless, like do I even care about them.. ?

(I recieved hate for watching this like "u wasted your time" "you pretending to like it just for Lee Jong suk". "yeah you like cause you don't have any taste").
that's why I write this review in fit of rage :)

Based of true events

It's been a while since I've seen a Korean historical film. This movie was heartbreaking at times but worth the watch in my opinion.
Loved seeing familiar faces and learning more about this time period in Korea ??

This is a story about hope during a dark time in history.

Beautiful movie with strong writing and great acting

Loved everything about this movie. I looked it up because I was so impressed by Extraordinary Attorney Woo and this was the only other thing the writer had written, and I was not disappointed. They are not similar stories and this is not a younger Woo Young Woo, but the writer has a deft, sensitive and thorough hand with how she writes her characters and the plots they're in, and this movie is a lovely piece of work.

Ji Woo is her very own character and there is something lovely about how she is not a foil to any other character around her, she's a whole person with her very own personality and beliefs and strength and she isn't there to just provide character growth for the male lead. Kim Hyang Gi was great, as was Jung Woo Sung, whose partly jaded but mostly trying to find his path Soon Ho grew in the most mature way. I liked the cleverness of the plot, the nuanced touches of reality between the mains and all the secondary characters. Also, it's always a pleasure to see Jang Young Nam and Lee Kyu Hyung, they never disappoint.

a story of love and hope

It is clear that this film is directed by someone with criteria regarding the development of the script, so much so that its director Jason Paul Laxamana is a writer and explains without a doubt how the comedy progresses from the lightest to the deepest connection with the characters. . It is a story with a lot behind it because it talks about respect, support, friendship, forgiveness, self-acceptance, defense of identity and consistency with the truth. Even of the different families that are created and that break the stereotype of the traditional family, here is the one woven in the network of support and affection. It also conveys a beautiful message of hope, that every day is an opportunity to do things better and make us happier. all this shot with clean shots, excellent leading actors and the leading actress too, especially when she lowers the tone of hilarity. Life expressed in a film that is not old or outdated and that can be seen with that desire to end with a happy ending full of hope.

Disaster on a fast track

I decided to watch this Chinese disaster movie packed into two hours. I got lost with the earthquake/crumbling mountainside/typhoon plot. A decent production with very good CGI! The actors did a very good job. They didn't determine if ten years of drilling the tunnel in the mountain weakened the terrain, but they did mention an earthquake in the Indian Ocean as being the trigger of the local earthquake. The funniest line was when one of the workers went up to Ms Ding and said a storm (...typhoon?) was imminent, any second now. Low and behold, the storm hit the area, a second later. Really? The movie was on the fast track, no planning and execution, just execution. Othewise, the movie would be three hours long.

Zhu Yilong was very good in a non-drama role. I liked his father. The actors/characters were supporting the earthquake and collapsing mountains.

Too Many Questions

As usual I dud prefer the movie version over the serial version. To be honest I watched this show originally because of Holland. I loved the actors and the chemistry was good.

I don't really have a problem with with the story except I feel like they lost a couple of sections (or episodes in the series). Here come the spoilers....
1. Why does Tommy just leave? No explanation, no note, no nothing? Ha Da said he would support him with his music and then Tommy just poofs anyway!
2. Tommy comes back after 1-1/2 years or so and they both act like it's only been a couples of months?! Still no explanation but no anger either!

Those two points are what keep me from giving it a higher rating. I just cant get past them! If those gaps had been filled in it would have been a 9.5 easily. Otherwise it is a sweet little Korean love story. It is what I would expect from the 8 episode stories come from Korea.

I'm not sure I can even properly explain why I love this movie so much. I guess it's the whole atmosphere? The way it's shot? All the main characters? The story itself? Basically everything, I guess?

I love that there are so many good people in this movie. Ninako confesses her love to Ren but Ren already has a long-time girlfriend so he rejects her, very kindly, and Ninako accepts it and asks to stay his friend and even defends him. Ren does all he can to emotionally support his girlfriend, a slightly older girl with family issues, to the point where he works himself to exhaustion. And Ando... Ando loves to pretend being callous and uncaring but, boy, does he care!

I find the relationship between Ren and his girlfriend, Mayuka, so interesting. Because, yes, she's slightly older, already working and driving a car but she needs Ren to be her rock. And he is, he so is. Because he promised her. He promised and he would never, ever break his promise, no matter his own feelings or needs. But... he is still a teen and it's simply too much for him, school and a part-time job and going to her house every day. And I love that it is her who realizes it, what Ren is doing...

And Ando and Ren! I wish their relationship was explored deeper because when Ren talks about Ando, about what their relationship was like back in middle school before everything went pear-shaped between them... He sounds so wistful. Like, "Before, I had always been alone. I only talk to people who want to talk to me - and Ando wanted to talk to me. He didn't say anything special but it made me so happy... And he was so lonely."

And when Ando then finds out that he broke off his friendship with Ren for nothing, that Ren was innocent of the thing Ando accused him of - Ando's reaction!

It's such a sweet and serene movie. And I felt for them. And Fukushi Sota (Ren), Yamada Yuki (Ando) and Arimura Kasumi (Ninako) are so good in their parts. Honestly, I've never realized before how many projects Fukushi Sota and Yamada Yuki have done together so far! I hope we will see them together in something again at some point in the future!

the movie starts in a random small village, they don't have any roads connecting them to the next town or souel and only had a railroad that reached them through a bridge
it then starts showing us the life of a lazy highschooler that starts taking private lessons from the prettiest girl in class, and I thought it'd be an old school type of, school romance like 2521 so it was a bit boring (the movie not 2521)

but then the real twist happens. I was a bit confused mainly cuz of Park Jung Min, the 35 year old failing to look 18, he's a good actor, but to cast him after showing the tiny Kim Kang Hoon, who can easily be his son, made it hard to understand for a minute xD then after noticing the sister that didn't age I thought this was a scam movie.. then after the kid vr was brought back, as flashbacks, I started wondering if they were 2 different people with 2 similar looking sisters

now I do admit I didn't pay much attention in the 1st half for those reasons. it felt messy and cheap


until the twist happened... and they showed the both vrs pictures. with a missing SISTER! and it hit me. she died and that was when the waterfalls started till the last minute of the movie T_T
the events of the past. the acting of Lee Sung Min, the reasons and action of those actors, it was all so devastating..
the 2nd half was honestly pure emotinal gold. it was shocking, yet full of hope, redemption, bonding, understanding and heartwarming sweetness

I thought Tae Yoon was a tough love type of dad, but he was so vulnerable, so fragile, so soft.. again casting the 35 year old one thinks he left his son for years but it was around 10 years, tho again a bit much, but he held on to so much self loath he couldn't look at his son again
the moment he got angry at the paper cuz he didn't want his son to be hurt. the moment he forced him to go to souel, their trip, his pure joy over his results (my favorite scene T_T), Jung Jun Kyung confessing that he went to the beach to stop his dad from suicide, junkyung and Bo Kyung "hugging" their dad T_T, their farewell, and in the end the most hilarious ending that just made this little movie even more preciousT_T

When you are extraordinary, but when you use intelligence for a negative purpose, it brings chaos and downfall.
This movie kept me on the edge that what comes next from this genius brain. Many people would deny and think this to be just another cheating movie, but believe me, it happens. I have seen this happening and my god students have a whole lot of tricks up their sleeve that one cannot think.
The movie is entertaining because it didn’t beat around the bush, it kept its focus on the BAD GENIUS, cheating ways. Lynn played by Aokbab is flawless, her actions were amazing. When she walked into the subway station, she gave a brilliant performance.
By the end, I felt like Grace and Bank were a bad influence. Because there is a saying in my country “ people behavior change, similar to the people they associate with”. Also, she was not correct either, but a good friend won't let you fall in a pit of misconduct and suffering.

A Slightly Bumpy Ride

TL;DR: This isn't a perfect movie. But you can easily overlook the questionable bits thanks to how well made it is. It's a great way to spend a couple of hours. It's what any film should aspire to be - entertaining. Just make sure you don't have a flight booked anytime soon!

The first 2/3s of this movie was great. Fast paced, thrilling and suspenseful action. However the last third of the movie was a bit over the top, with the story going into more of a melodrama territory.

Acting was great all around. Im Siwan especially was really, really good. Kim So Jin and Kim Nam Gil were also great.

The production value was top notch. The cinematography and sound design were really incredible. It really helped make the stakes seem a lot higher. It had that realism that I find lacking from a lot of Western movies (especially nowadays with heavy reliance on CGI). I'm sure CGI was used here too - but it was so seamless.

Overall, a really fun flick and a good theatre experience (I don't think this will have the same impact if you just watch it at home, especially because of the sound). Just go in and switch off your brain (really, don't think too much). You'll have fun!

A beautiful story

Wow what a beautiful movie. Saw the ad on Utube and when i came here it was on my list to watch and so happy that i did. The cast & crew did an amazing job on this movie as it was beautiful done. Being a young guy in school and waking up after a cold /fever and not being able to hear is a scary thing. I can relate my younger brother was 17 when he got sick with a high fever at first he didnt tell us cause he thought his ear was clogged, but turned out he lost 80% hearing in right ear a 25% in left. He acted just like Kohei distancing himself from friends, but they wouldn't let him give up on himself or them. He's 56 now and still doing good.
This movie did a beautiful job showing how if people just took the time to understand a person and what they needed rather than assuming thats sign language was the answer. Tachaii friendship with kohei started off due to hunger then taking noted and then a protector. It developes into a one sided love nonetheless a friendship continues or more???
Best line ever " Its not your fault that you cant hear" So true
