A film about the realities of life and the beauty of friendship
Spoilers ahed:Minor plot-holes (especially near the end) but still a very beautifully written and meaningful film about love and life. Realistic and amazing acting from everyone. Scenes fly by and the pace is good. Didn’t expect to cry at the end, but realizing the two girl’s love for each other and how the two went on to “live like each other” made me sob. At first I didn’t understand why they killed off Haeun but I realized it was necessary: it was her love for Jinwoo and want for a “normal life” that restricted her. And it killed her in the end. And her death, Mi-so expressed her love for Ha-eun. And it also changed Mi-so’s lifestyle. She continues to lie but now she does it out of love. And she works to care for others. Mi-so makes many mistakes throughout the film and I get frustrated with her at times, but she’s human. And you can’t blame Haeun for forgiving her because you realize that the two understood each other like no one else and grew up learning to rely on each other. Mi-so encouraged Haeun to live fearlessly. But they were both challenged with the reality of adult life. Even in the character’s hardships, ups, and downs, you can’t help but think “ah, so this is life indeed.” For people saying its just a movie about two girls fighting for a boy, they need to realize that this movie is not about the boy at all. He’s just a part of society’s expectations and the experience of growing up. In fact, neither girls liked him much to start with.

the title did it justice they really were soulmates
i really liked this movie, it was a tearjerker and i have to say that i enjoyed it. ofc if i could imagine an ideal ending I'd be the two female leads getting married and living the rest of their lives happily together (ik they we're just friends I'm just being delulu cause they had great chemistry). however i feel that if this movie had a happy ending it wouldn't be as meaningful and it could kinda ruin it. the cast was great the story line was amazing and not too complicated the only thing i didn't notice was the music cause i was too invested in the story and while i was processing everything that was happening i didn't really think about the music (in the emotional scenes i was bawling my eyes out so i couldn't hear it) and regarding its rewatch value i think i will wait for some time to pass by so that i can forget about the details of the movie and when I'm in a mood that i want too cry I'll come back too rewatch it.Was this review helpful to you?
"All people have different faces so that they can live different lives"
Here me out!! I usually don't enjoy korean movies but this one is an absolute masterpiece. It's realistic unlike other korean shows featuring "perfect lives" "perfect friendships". This movie is so sweet and made me tear up at the end. It shows how your soulmate doesn't have to be your romantical partner rather it can be your best friend who knows you the best , who understands you the best. I love how the friendship between two of the bestfriends isn't perfect. Its so simple yet it gave a new way to think about life and the friends I have around me. I absolutely loved this movie._**Cast**_
The cast was amazing. The directors used the right people to star in this movie. Byeon Wooseok has been talked about alot lately and he is also present here so if you're his fan then just start watching this movie already. Kim Dami and the other actress ( I don't know her name unfortunately) did an excellent job too. Didn't watch any of kim Dami's projects in a while but this made me want to see her in more shows and movies.
_**overall thoughts**_
I want to keep this short and spoiler free so all i want to say is that I highly recommend this movie to anybody. Even if you really like romantic movies ( it doesn't have that many romantic scenes ) i highly suggest you to watch this. Trust me you won't regret it. And you'll most definitely get another meaning to friendship after watching this movie.

Romantic, platonic, idc, they loved each other
At first I thought this was a gl, turns out it's not but omg it doesn't erase the fact that the portrayal of love in this film is beautiful, it shows the downsides and the beauty that comes with loving someone so deeply, also the fact that at the end Haeun and Miso were the reflection of each other's past and dreams goddd, it shattered me. I do think that the drawing that Haeun did of Miso is somehow the closing that both needed, as the one who started it, was Haeun and the one that finishes it, is Miso, that drawing rather than just being that is the representation of the girl's feelings towards each other (that's how I see it at least). Though it made me feel a little disappointed because I was really expecting to see a gl, it doesn't matter now because I was almost bawling at the end, It indeed was a beautiful movieWas this review helpful to you?

it hurts
my first thought while watching the movie was that it was some kind of lesbian romance, what i didn’t expect was that their friendship and how they complemented each other would be deeper than romance itself, i feel that jinwoo could have contributed more; i find his character tasteless. however, haeun and miso did their job so well that i have nothing to complain about. in my mind, they are happy raising their daughter, although i think that if haeun had lived, she wouldn’t have given her the same name. i like to think the baby’s name would have been some kind of combination between miso and haeunWas this review helpful to you?

Life is a journey of discovering
It’s very beautiful movies, slow but they made it so beautiful as two best friends grow up and facing life and their friendship also discovering about themselves too. I shed a tear at the end, although not really understand why she made that decision. But not losing yourself and still strong despite her tough life and survive also not apart.And their acting really touch my heart. So good. I read one of the review said this is a remake, make me curious about the original movie.

U will kicking yourself if u don't watch this now ...
Relationships are not black and white, they are made of hundreds and thousands of shades of different colours - ugly and beautiful, and this movie does a spectacular job of painting such a raw and realistic one.A soulmate is someone tethered to you and drawn back to you no matter what and this movie depicts the realistic struggles of growing apart and struggling to find and understand each other.
Was it a touch melodramatic? Sure. Was it still just as thought-provoking and relatable? Definitely. This movie - as all good ones should - left me thinking about my own relationships with my friends and family and my value and love for them.
The cinematography and soft music score absolutely fit the theme of this movie - raw and realistic - it doesn't rely on sfx to bring you to tears. In fact, the saddest moments are those in silence. Phenomenal performances from Da-mi and So-nee, their interactions on screen were so emotional.
Life is not perfect, the people in them most definitely are not perfect. But this movie might teach you something about unconditional love, being there for each other no matter what and valuing the time you do have together.
An absolute recommended watch ...

VEAN PRIMERO LA COREANA, LUEGO VEAN LA CHINA Y ENTENDERÁN POR QUÉ NO PARECE TAN BUENA.
Me encantan las historias escritas por Anni Baobei.Después de haber visto la versión coreana, esta es mi opinión.
No me han gustado algunas cosas que han hecho. Me explico:
1. Han invertido demasiado tiempo en mostrar su infancia, tiempo que podrían haber invertido en otras cosas.
2. La relación de Haeun y Jinwoo no la han desarollado demasiado.
3.No hay química entre los personajes.
4. Tampoco dejan bien claro los sentimientos de Jinwoo hacia Miso cuando ya son adultos. Jiangmin (versión china) suele estar enamorado de las dos, por está razón Qiyue suele decirle que no se presente el día de la boda porque no suele querer casarse con un hombre que no la ame por completo.
5. Esto es lo que más me ha molestado: Miso no transmite muy bien la personalidad de Ansheng. Esta personalidad desenfrenada, sarcástica y aventurera no la tiene.
La película no es mala, para mi su gran problema es que no transmite el sentimiento que transmite la versión china. No he sentido la química que debería haber entre Haeun , Miso y Jinwoo. El personaje de Jinwoo es muy plano, se siente que solo le han puesto allí para desatar el conflicto entre las chicas y en la versión china, aunque no aparece mucho, las interversiones Jianming son importantes.
Si no hubiese visto la versión china, me parecería una mejor película. Podrían haber explotado mejor esta historia pero no lo han hecho, han tomado sólo lo básico para hacer una historia genérica.

Soulmate
Questo film mi ha parecchio stranito!All'inizio pensavo fosse una classica situazione già vista, ovvero due migliori amiche che litigano perché innamorate dello stesso uomo, e invece qui c'è molto altro!
Alla base del film c'è un rapporto di amicizia forte ma complicato di due ragazze molto diverse tra loro che sono cresciute insieme! Nel corso della vita i loro sogni e desideri si sono scontrati con la dura realtà della vita e come capita in questi casi, ne prendono atto e percorrono la strada che gli si pone davanti, con tutte le conseguenze del caso!
Una delle protagoniste è Ahn Mi-Son (Kim Da-Mi) che interpreta sempre un personaggio carismatico e fragile allo stesso tempo, una persona a cui la vita non ha regalato niente e perciò è sempre alla ricerca del suo posto nel mondo che spesso é avverso nei suoi confronti, l'altra è Go Ha-Eun (Jeon So-nee) che è la classica ragazza perfettina con poco carattere a cui però sta stretta la sua vita e cerca anche lei di trovare la sua strada, o soprattutto di cercare se stessa! Il fulcro della situazione poi ruota intorno a Ham Jin-Woo (Byun Woo Suk) a cui avrei dato una testata dall'inizio alla fine 😑, detto ciò non commento altro si di lui per non spoilerare niente ..
La mia preferita è Kim Da-Mi che dopo averla vista nella sua terza interpretazione, va finire nella vetta delle mie attrici coreane preferite perché ha un'espressività senza eguali, soprattutto calcolando che è giovanissima!
Il film in conclusione è molto crudo e mi ha lasciato tanta tristezza e amarezza, ma in ogni caso vale la pena essere guardato se avete due ore libere tra una la fine di una serie e l'altra.

O ponto chave e forte da história é a amizade e não o romance, deste foi só um leve resquício.Já vou começar com uma pergunta que ficou sem resposta na minha cabeça: Mi So gostava do Jin Woo ou apenas ele teve sentimentos por dela?
Enfim... a gente vê o desenrolar da amizade da Mi So e Ha Eun desde a infância até a vida adulta, apesar de nesse meio tempo elas terem se afastado por um grande período.
Elas vêm de mundos diferentes, com personalidades diferentes, mas são atraídas uma para a outra como ímãs.
As interações delas era tão íntima e próxima que eu já estava esperando virar um filme sáfico a qualquer momento kkk
Eu realmente gostei deste filme pois mostra um amadurecimento e como uma amizade verdadeira funciona .
Claro que dona Coreia ama dar uma toque de sofrimento, então se preparem para dar uma emocionada no final.
