Heart Attack (2015)

This isn't exactly a romantic movie, if you're looking for a romantic comedy, this is not. Actually, I'd say this movie is like those kind of films that invites you to think over lots of things about life, (everything from the perspective of our male character)... In other words: is like reading a diary, the diary of Yoon, is like sitting inside of Yoon's head and watch every thought that crosses through his mind and I absolutely loved that.

Probably what I loved the most about this film is that nothing really extraordinary happens, nothing extremely dramatic, unexpected or overwhelming; the film is not trying to capture your attention by doing anything movie- hollywood- like with the story (if you know what I mean)... What I'm trying to say is that this is just real life, to be more accurate the life of only one person displayed on the screen and is not a crazy, exciting, or amazing life. Yoon's life is nothing else but ordinary and (in my case) very relatable.

The plot is simple, the focus is not romance and the center of the story is Yoon and his thoughts. Even the way the movie was filmed was simple, it felt like there was someone just holding a camera and filming Yoon daily, not an entire production team living inside of Yoon's apartment. In spite of that it never felt mediocre or low budget, no, not at all.

I think the acting was really good, the actor who played Yoon succeed at portraying this typical young man that struggles to balance work, and life.

I will probably rewatch this soon, this is the kind of films that I like the most, Easy to watch but still really good, with great quality,and with a script that feels like reading a book; that's why I gave this a perfect rate.

Sad story of a freelancer

If you want a light, funny, heartwarming movie, this is NOT one of those. The way this story is narrated is full of humour, as if it were a romantic comedy, but it's not. This is a poignant picture of a society where people do not work to live, but live to work, and can never be satisfied, because it seems that it's always possible to do their work better. We see companies sucking life out of freelancers and freelancers willing to give up their health and human relationships in order to keep the deadline. As a freelancer, I saw my younger self in a broken mirror. This movie should be a lesson to anyone: work might be your passion, but set your values straight and put yourself and people close to you above that.
