Midnight Sun (2025)

Even knowing, it still hurts

I watched this mostly because of Cha Hakyeon, and honestly I’m glad I did. Although the movie has some flaws, it’s still such a sweet and simple love story. The chemistry between the characters feels natural and warm, which makes the emotional moments hit even harder. What stayed with me the most is the message underneath everything: even when life is unfair and painful, you still keep loving, dreaming, and moving forward without giving up. The music adds so much emotion to the story, and by the end I was completely destroyed. The ending is incredibly sad and emotional… and even when you know it’s coming, it still hurts.

So Happy that the Tears come out

This is a simple yet very nice romantic drama about a girl and a boy who grow in affection for each other. We used to have many movies like this before, but now they come rarely, so they feel all the more emotional and inspiring. As in every love story, there is always a challenge — and here it is a rare medical condition of a girl, Mi-sol, who is sensitive to sunlight, so she can meet her boy only at night. But love always finds a way. Midnight Sun is truly a heartwarming movie for all the innocent souls out there. It reminds us of the importance of family and the beauty and strength of love.

There are a few cute comedic moments, but the movie makes us smile mostly with its goodness. I felt a lot of joy, but with a constant tear in my eye while watching this movie, sometimes out of pure happiness and sometimes out of sadness. Mi-sol is not only sick and in love, but she is also a singer-songwriter, and the songs we hear in the movie are all great and worthy of repeat listening. They have a nice indie melody and meaningful lyrics. So I will revisit this movie for sure — especially for the songs.
