What's new from the Korean remake?
As someone who has watched the original or the Chinese film in the same title which was basis of this remake, the key difference I have seen was it was more intimate in portraying their friendship as it gave more platonic aspects. Also, the timeline in their lives were more established and clearer in the Chinese film rather than the Korean remake that's why some were confused what happened when Misoo and Haeun were apart or what's the real story from the blog site and on what truly happened.Nonetheless, the emotions even the ending was there which was not far from the original. Still, I highly recommend that you watch the Chinese film since it was more dramatic from how different the two women lives were and how their bond remained strong over the years. I know some of you will say that the remake could make itself different from the original, however, the Chinese film was so good that I can't help but to compare them.

I literally cried my eyes out on this movie!
Honestly this movie was on my watchlist for alot of time and I finally decided to watch it. And I again of course cried. Haeun and miso's friendship was really good. Honestly, I tried to understand both of their point of views. Haeun was a calm minded person who keeps things to herself and bottle up her emotions. Where as miso was the hasty one who says things on face. I cried alot at the ending. Haeun deserved so much better. So did miso, she wasn't wrong but she wasn't right either. When she was wearing jinwoo's necklace the whole time it didn't made sense to me but when in the ending they showed that haeun saw them kissing - and when miso asked to borrow the necklace I understood miso's point of view. Jinwoo said that necklace saved him from dying when he was a child, and miso wanted to be saved from the world, i may be wrong but that's what my mind goes like. It wasn't wrong in miso's pov. But someone who can understand haeun better, I understand haeun's dejection and disappointment. I liked it that miso completed the drawing of herself x that haeun couldn't. I liked it that she wants others to think haeun is still alive though she is not. Their bond wasn't fragile. I cried after the movie got completed for 2 hours straight. So just go for it.Was this review helpful to you?

this is the actual meaning of " soulmate"
This movie is emotionally rich that paints a heartfelt portrait of friendship as something deeper than love—an invisible thread that binds souls beyond time and distance. It follows the lives of two girls, Mi-so and Ha-eun, whose bond begins in their youth and blossoms into a profound connection that transcends words.The film beautifully captures the essence of friendship as a safe haven—where laughter echoes freely, silences speak volumes, and even pain is shared without fear. Their journey is filled with moments of joy, misunderstanding, longing, and reunion, illustrating how true friendship isn’t about always being together, but about always belonging to each other.
Visually poetic and emotionally stirring, Soulmate shows that some people come into your life not just to walk with you, but to shape who you become. Their souls are mirrors, and through each other, they discover the truest parts of themselves. It’s a love letter to the kind of friendship that stays in your heart forever.
The ending of Soulmate is quietly devastating yet profoundly beautiful—a culmination of love, longing, and the irreplaceable bond of friendship.
After years of separation, misunderstandings, and missed connections, Ha-eun discovers the depth of Mi-so’s love and sacrifice too late. Through Mi-so’s paintings—filled with vivid colors and intimate moments only they shared—Ha-eun begins to truly understand the silent ways Mi-so expressed her feelings. The art becomes Mi-so’s voice, revealing emotions she could never speak aloud.
It’s an ending that doesn’t offer easy closure, but instead leaves you with a lingering ache—the kind that only comes from loving someone so deeply, they become a part of your soul. Soulmate reminds us that even if someone is gone, the bond you shared continues to shape your world, quietly and eternally.

We are connected.
It's been a while since the last time that I bawled my eyes out. This is wonderfully portrayed. A story of two friends that shows a true bond despite the different lives they live in.We have different paths to choose. But at the end of the day, I hope our paths cross.
Such a wonderful and beautiful drama that is worth watching,

Love and Friendship
such a beautiful movie. the movie makes you glued to the screen and i would like to thank the director for that, so many beautiful scenes and the color gradient so good. i’m not really the type to cry over movies but this one hit the spot. reminded me of my own past friendships and the hardships we faced together. i also wish had done things differently but the past is the past.also definitely one of kim dami’s best performances. jeon sonee was also good but in some moments her acting seemed a bit off and Wooseok also looked kinda weird in some parts. but really good movie overall

Just got done watching this movie, I think first and foremost I can just sum it up in one word, wow. At first I was a bit hesitant in the first half of the movie but after it gets closer to the end things start to make a lot more sense and things connect in ways that are super satisfying. I think at most I can say that one would just have to watch it to understand the twists that happen in the movie that make it truly an emotional journey. A story about friends that are super close throughout most of their years and develop their own lives whilst maintaining said friendship. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to feel something and would even recommend it to anyone just wanting to watch a good movie. I give the movie a 9.5/10 because I think there are some aspects that could have been a bit better but it was near perfection in my opinion. Was this review helpful to you?

explains what it means to love someone unconditionally
well, i’m really sad about everthing i saw in this movie.I can only think that, in the end, of all the people Ha Eun loved... the person she loved most deeply was Mi So, this is clear from the size of the painting she decided to draw and that unfortunately she was unable to finish. Ha Eun was deceived, betrayed and hurt by the people she loved most, but not for a second did she stop loving them. And especially with Mi So, she knew from day one about Ji Woo, but didn't say anything, because she just wanted her “soul mate” by her side.

do NOT watch this while missing your best friend
even as i type this, there’s still tears falling down my cheeks. i don’t know why this has affected me this much…well, nevermind, i do.i won’t spill my problems in this review but, as someone who’s had a horrible argument and well, i guess a somewhat of a fall out with her best friend of 7 years, this hit me right in the heart. you never get over it. even if you keep saying you’re okay, you still feel it in your heart.
sharing your life with someone where it borders between platonic and romantic love, it’s always special. i originally watched this thinking it would be very sapphic centric and although there’s definitely elements of it, you can tell it’s about two best friends- two soulmates, finding each other, drifting apart till they found each other again.
i can only hope the same happens to us.
beautiful movie.

A realistic movie about love!
I wouldn't say it's a romantic movie, even tho you could interpret the story in two different ways, the message remains the same. Two women love each other till the end! It doesn't matter if they're only friends or lovers, these are just labels. This movie basically perfect, because it shows that relationships are not easy and simple, it's complex, and you have to work hard to maintain it.
What I love about this movie is that it's not about the guy, it's 100% about the girls' POV. As much as they love each other, they're always messing up something, but they never leave each other.
In the end, they're basically become the same person. It was like Miso not only finished her art, but Ha Eun's life as well.
The story isn't finished, you have to guess what happened with Jin Woo and his daughter. Who knows, maybe he will raise her with Miso, or just meet the girl once in a while. But I don't think that matters.
At the end of the day, this is about Miso and Ha Eun, and how much they love each other.
Like the title says: They're soulmates.

it's about friendship and fellings one deal with.
the goes like starting in school two girls becoming bff and later they discover and faces misunderstanding and this lead him to a part after realization they get together but the fortune has another plan by making haeun die at the age of 27 in her prime age after giving birth to her daughter. the movie is whole a emotional and has happy sad ending along with happy ending at glance it may feel like bullshit but as the story developed it becomes more intense. which make the viewer to bring watery eyes. it's sweet, dark, fun, love, hope, drama, sad, happy, delight, sorrow, thrill,Was this review helpful to you?
