A different way of telling a story

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

My first time to make a review here. I just register to rate it 10/10 and invite everyone to watch this movie. I've watched several Korean movies this month land i just love how Koreans make a movie that gives an impact emotionally and how they make a wonderful story, not to mention their superb acting. This move is one of the best, it just stirs your emotion and the movie will linger on your thoughts for some time. Love and sacrifice is what it is. When you love someone, you will go into the depths of sacrifices if needed. Highly recommended. You will not regret watching it!

The Koreans do melodrama better than anyone else on the planet. I wish I had known about Korean movies years ago. (I saw "Always" four years after its release. When will a Korean movie get released in the US?!?)The plot here is reminiscent of "An Affair to Remember," the quintessential Hollywood romance. But the feeling and cinematography are pure twenty-first century. Though it's a 100% melodrama story- line, the style is low-key and on the naturalistic side. It's never overwrought. So Ji-Sub is a favorite of mine from seeing him in K-drama "The Master's Sun." Here he plays a very different kind of man, but with equal skill and charisma. His character barely talks, but still feels three-dimensional. Han Hyo-Joo is excellent and her character is refreshingly outgoing despite her disability.I had to close my eyes for about 5 minutes when things got violent, but that was inevitable given that So Ji-Sub plays a fighter. If I have any complaints, it's that I wanted to know so much more about the characters, and the denouement is on the quick side. I still have questions. But the emotional aspects of the story were handled perfectly. If you haven't started watching the good Korean stuff yet, you should. It's worth the subtitles.

How many of you will see this? I am someone who now realizes that Korean movies are now worth paying attention to. On one level this movie is pure melodrama. But when you think about it, melodrama goes back to the beginning of film. And the plot of this movie, comes directly from Charley Chaplin's "City Lights". So the story works here precisely because this kind of film has disappeared from mainstream movies. I hope you remember how Steven Spielberg broke through by harnessing the power of the cinema to make us feel. I have no idea who this director is. But what I do know is that he is a master of a very old kind of storytelling and he is hip enough to kick the whole story up to modern times in a scene so violent, well, we won't go into it...but hide you eyes if you have to. The lead actors, indeed, all the actors, are so good that they make you feel things despite a language none of us hear very often. And they are not over doing it, in a story that could have been destroyed by their lack of subtlety. Seeing this movie with a crowd of young Asian Americans at their festival in San Francisco was a special treat. Do not miss this, it is one of the best films of the year for those of us who love pure cinema. Hats off to a culture and cinema production style that could allow this to be made. You will not see anything like this again anytime soon.

So here goes my very first ever Review in the entire world! I had to register to IMDb in order to express my emotion and share to All my profound feeling after having watched this film.I have in the many years watched various Korean movies and TV series from Swordplay, Action & Drama. When I came across this film, I did not know what to expect or how this film would be. I just wanted to watch it, and at the end of the movie; I felt content, happy and invigorated.For those of you who have not watched many Korean movies. Know this, they are a very passionate people, funny and even cute in their mannerism. Very different from your Hollywood or European movies. Please watch this movie with an open heart and let Chul-min and Junghwa take you on a journey of life through their eyes, through co-incidences, the affects the decisions we make. The trials we go through and the sacrifices we make in the name of love.I hope my dear friend that after having watched this movie through the end, that like myself you find yourself thinking of someone who you would like to share this movie with. Then go forth and spread the love.
