I never felt something like this for a drama.
Our Movie is truly a masterpiece. I just finished the final episode and wanted to write my review immediately, even though I am having a hard time about expressing my love for this drama. Our Movie is a heart-warming, calm, romantic drama that will change the way you're looking at life. After I finished this drama, I wanted to go out, look at the sky, watch the stars, take a breath and live the moment. İt showed me how precious life is.I loved how all the characters were grew up. Chae Seyoung was my favourite character and I am so happy that I kept the believe I had for her. She made mistakes, she compensated all of them. I'm so happy that there were other couples except the main couple. They showed us how the other's lives are going on. They made me laugh in all of those tears.
I loved the ending. I loved how they showed us the life goes on. Even though some people expecting to see more drama, but I think it was a realistic ending. We have to keep live, laugh, cry, fall in love and break up. Our Movie showed this in a pretty good way. The death of Lee Daeum was really unexpected in my opinion. I knew she had only a little time more but I thought we can see her last hours, in the hospital. But thinking about it made me feel like this was the right thing to do. But I wish we saw Lee Je-ha's going to her grave, and spending some time talking to her.
The romance was just right, all along. We watched a pure, committed, honest relationship. They loved each other in a heart-warming way. Even though Even though they know they have to leave each other in a short time. And this is so precious.
The acting was definitely incredible. Jeon Yeo-Been and Nam Koong-Min showed us a masterwork. I was so satisfied about the way their looks at each other changed step by step. All of it was so touching and beautiful.
The OST. İt is just perfect. Even the times I hear it now, my eyes are watering, and I can't stop thinking about the drama. I will definitely listen to it in my personal life.
My English is not that good but I think I wrote my opinions clear. I'm pretty new to this website, and really enjoying writing reviews lately. And the last of it I just want to say, I hope everyone can watch this masterpiece.

YOU MUST WATCH THIS AT LEAST ONCE IN YOUR LIFE
bro.....i can't believe that i am actually writing a review after finishing it because honestly i didn't want this ((movie)) to end
this drama is soooo warm that my smile faded
this drama is perfect and the ratings are so low out of nowhere like why
i honestly don't know what to say this drama is perfect i mean the moment i saw namkoong min i knew that it's going to be perfect
if you didn't like it this only means that this genre of drama is not your type and i can't see why you would hate it because honestly there is no boring episode every single episode had its pain its story and its conclusion
WE SHOULD ALL BE AWARE that not every love story ends with a happy ending

A drama that makes you want to live... badly.
A drama that makes you wanna live… badly. That’s the one sentence that stayed with me the whole time. Our Movie (우리 영화) is the kind of story that makes you want to step outside, breathe in deeply, get soaked in the rain, watch the sunset with nothing but silence around you. It’s a reminder, one we don’t get often enough, that despite the chaos and routine of life, you do want to live. Deeply. Fully. And ironically, this drama achieves that by breaking your heart and healing it at the same time.The title Our Movie isn't just about the literal movie that Daeum and Jeha were making together. It's the life they were living. The one you live with them, moment by moment. It’s a rare case where the title actually feels like a perfect fit... So simple, yet so layered.
I questioned whether I should give it a 10. I usually reserve 10s for more “grand” productions, epic plots, sprawling settings, ensemble casts. But this drama? It hit just as hard because it was the opposite. So minimal in its form: few locations, a small cast, a rather simple storyline. But emotionally? Absolutely massive.
It was also one of my most anticipated dramas of the year. Namkoong Min and Jeon Yeobeen are two of my favorite actors, so I kind of knew I was in for a ride. Probably tears, heartbreak, and a lot of reflection... And still, it gave me more than I expected.
Daeum, as a character, was stunning. Not just in her brightness, but in how alive she was despite her terminal illness. And strangely enough, as someone who’s healthy, I found myself jealous of her. How do you live so boldly? Love so earnestly? Laugh so freely? How do you shine so unapologetically that the people around you have to follow that light?
She changed everyone, from Jeha to her father, and watching Jeha gradually open up was one of the most quietly rewarding arcs I’ve seen. From the shell of a man into someone who laughs, connects, and finally dares to live. Even though we didn’t learn too much about him, it didn’t matter. This was Daeum’s story. Her life, her ending, her legacy.
The cinematography is breathtaking. Every frame feels intentional and intimate. The OST may not be flashy or instantly memorable, but it fits like a second skin — quiet, warm, and deeply in tune with the story. And the acting? Flawless. Jeon Yeobeen delivers one of her most raw, soulful performances, and Namkoong Min’s restrained portrayal complements hers perfectly.
Two scenes that especially stayed with me are the rain kiss and the one where Jeha runs to her to see the sunset together. Not because they are romantic in the usual sense, but because they encapsulated everything this drama is about. Longing. Urgency. Sacrifice. Unconditional love.
Our Movie might not be a drama for everyone. The ending might not necessarily be happy, it's not packed with twists, it's not heavy on backstory, and it doesn’t tie everything in a neat bow. But for those who are at that stage in life and who let it wash over them, it becomes more than just a drama. A gentle but unforgettable reminder that life, in all its messiness, is worth living fully.

Review: Our Movie by someone who loves movies, deeply
There are shows you watch, and then there are stories that stay with you long after the screen fades to black. Our Movie is the latter: a quiet masterpiece that doesn't shout but lingers like the afterglow of something beautiful and true.The cinematography is poetry in motion. Every frame feels intentional. There’s a delicacy in how the camera lingers on a glance, a tremble, a breath. Pain becomes visible. So does hope.
The lead performances are nothing short of extraordinary. Jeon Yeo-been delivers a performance that is both devastating and luminous. Her eyes speak even when she says nothing. And when she delivers her lines, they are always done with a startling but quiet intensity. Other reviewers say her actions are ridiculous and childish for a 25 year old, but even the character is aware of that. How many times has it been said in the drama that she is in constant pain and has to perform so people around her don'tworry constantly? Perhaps that is why it came across as unnatural—because it was meant to be that way.
And Namkoong Min—what can I even say? His performance is the perfect example of acting without acting. Every word feels lived-in. Every silence feels full. He carries the quiet weight of love and impending loss with such grace and restraint that it leaves you breathless.
The chemistry between the leads isn’t loud or showy but profound in its stillness. You believe in their love. You ache with it.
But what sets Our Movie apart is how it treats its core: terminal illness. This isn’t a plot device. It’s not a cheap lever for drama. Daeum’s limited time is not a ticking clock; it is the very reason every moment matters. Hope becomes urgent. Love becomes fierce. The story aches with knowing, but it never loses its light. In fact, it shines brighter because of it.
Our Movie reminds us that life—real life—is made of grief and fear, yes. But also of joy and hope that persist anyway. Of friendships that carry you. Of love that endures, even in goodbye.
This drama is a gift to all cinephiles, the ones who sit alone in dark theaters, who cry softly into their sleeves; who never care for ratings or box office numbers as long as the film was made with sincerity and love. For those who chase stories that stir something deep and true, Our Movie is for us.

Just when we think the ending is here, that's when life begins..............
I must say this is one of a kind drama. I lost my mother last year and since then I was never able to move on. I didn't had anyone except my mother. She was the one and only reason of my happiness. No matter what the society threw at me I didn't care when my mother was with me but my world shattered when my passed away. When I started watching Our movie, I kind of felt something of a similar vibe. Sometimes you just have to let go to open a new door of life.Was this review helpful to you?
"Our Movie" A Cinematic Masterpiece on the Human Experience
This drama was exceptionally well crafted, layered, poetic, and emotionally intelligent. The cinematography was a standout on its own, seamlessly blending vintage film aesthetics with modern visuals to mirror the interplay of memory and present-day life. It wasn’t just storytelling; it was storytelling about storytelling.At its core, the narrative was deeply moving. What made it profound was the subtle shift in perspective toward the end. We never fully see the darker side of the female lead’s struggle, and that’s intentional. She wasn’t just a character; she was a metaphor. She embodied life itself: unpredictable, fleeting, complex, and filled with spontaneous beauty.
Her presence reminded us that we are all writing our own stories with every encounter, every love, every heartbreak. She was the journey, not the destination—an ever-evolving reminder that even in the face of death, what matters is how we live through the little moments. Her role quietly taught the male lead and us that someone else's failure to love us is not a reflection of our worth, nor is it a reason to retreat from love altogether.
Because love, even when it ends, is always worth having.
This drama elegantly showed that our everyday lives are our movie. We choose the cast, shape the plot, and select the soundtrack. Our friends, families, and even strangers, we are both their audience and their co-stars. So love fully. Feel deeply. Fail boldly. And above all, keep filming.
“Our Movie. Scene 1. Shot 1. Take 1... Ready? Action.”

Our Movie: Lights, Camera... Poetry!
Yesterday I finished Our Movie and I’m in a state of complete satisfaction with how it wrapped up. I can confidently say this series delivered the best melodrama of the year (perhaps even of ALL TIME!) I was amazed by the emotional depth of the plot, which brilliantly employed creative tools to reinforce the message that life is a moment worth living. I'm passionate about intelligent and sensitive storytelling, and Our Movie delivered exactly that.Lee Daeum (played by the stunning Jeon Yeobeen) embodies this message with her gestures, thoughts, and lines even with a terminal diagnosis and every reason to wait for death confined to a hospital bed, she cherishes each day granted to her, eyes glowing even when she couldn’t leave the hospital. Her heart beat fiercely for her dreams.
In contrast, director Lee Jeha (played by Namkoong Min (my first time watching him!) hides himself away for five years, clinging to grief, doubt, and ghosts from a past that’s never truly left. Their meeting is transformative, and as filming progresses, their lives become forever intertwined.
Through beautiful use of metafiction, the story of making a film becomes a mirror to their personal journeys. Despite the looming reality of death, every surrounding character is vividly alive, each with their own dilemmas and dreams. I loved the ensemble dynamics and how each episode slowly prepares our hearts to embrace the bittersweet beauty of life.
The story is masterfully developed from start to finish, with gorgeous scenes, unforgettable moments, and soundtracks that are bound to stay on your playlist.

Realism Abounds Even As Character Emotions Hit Just as Hard
What a show.I will keep it short. The story at the beginning was great for me, then I felt the middle was a little hard to get through because of my annoyance with the antagonists and the perceived unfairness for those that would be affected if things went south for the FL. But by the last 4 episodes, I was blown away by how well the emotions and perspectives of the leads were shown and tied up.
It is a beautiful story that shows the heights and difficulties of the human experience without pulling punches - love, loss, feeling lost, confusing feelings, grief, happiness, commitment, selfishness, selflessness.
At first I kind of disliked the calm-whimsical-featherlight tone that the drama sometimes had, given the heavy topics being explored. But I now believe it helped to inject realism in the middle of the situations. To me, it communicated that I was watching the everyday life of humans while they shot that movie. The story and the emotions were simply put forward for observation, just like when we observe what goes on around us in the lives of those we work with and care for. So I don't mind that many scenes were silent, and the OSTs were used sparingly to accentuate large moments.
And the acting?! Phew. Namgoong Min, the actor you are. Jeon Yeobeen, the actress you are! You definitely pulled me into your movie.
My review balances to 9/10, but it is more of a 9.5/10. Watch this drama!!

A kdrama Newbie's review on a newly found masterpiece.
I'm new to kdramaland. Have been watching romantic dramas for a while now but recently joined the website. At first, i was a little dubious to watch this drama since the rating wasn't high and not so many were watching it, but i'm glad i wasn't swayed by that and started watching.I just finished episode 12 a few minutes ago and my heart is both in pain and joyed with happiness. That's how a masterpiece should be. I couldn't believe myself when i was watching the episodes.
The aesthetics, the cast, the story, everything. How could they plan and execute it all in such beauty?
Story:
Terminal illness and love in times of disease sums it up. As someone who has gone through this route and know the pain, i decided to give in. I fell in love, cried, laughed, imagined myself in Daeum and Jeha 's shoes in these 12 episodes. I got to learn that life is cruel, painful and heartless but there is a thing called love in it. A love so beautiful is depicted that made me wanna fall in love. I Just couldn't control my tears when our beautiful Daeum lost her batttle little by little but get to taste a love so pure. Jeom Yeo Been is a sweetheart with her smiles and her contagious love.
Lee Jeha is a great depiction of a person so traumatized and so emotionally numb that is hard to open up to. but man i was wrong. Nam Koong Min played like an artist and molded Jeha's character to make him one of the most loveable romantic in all history for me.
Cinematography:
I'm not very much experienced in Korean dramas but the scenery were eye candy for me personally. the colors, locations, even Jeha's childhood home and the hospital Daeum stayed in had feelings in it.
Writing:
It's not without fault in my opinion but character development is done at its finest. i didn't mind the second and minor characters much because they were not the main leads but they were also portrayed greatly. even the villains learned their lesson and a deep friendship was formed in the end.
OST:
just wow. MiMi by CIFIKA is amazing. the rest of the songs were just shouting each feelings behind the story. I hope they release the bgm too.
So as my first review, i would love to say that this drama is beautiful. It's not just a drama but a lesson in love and life. thank you to the cast and crew and i hope more dramas like this gem show up for us fans to enjoy.

Will never watch again. 10 Stars.
This was beautiful.Every scene and every line was well thought out and planned to perfection (even though the overall plot was predictable). The acting was amazing, and I never wanted it to end.
However, this is the first and last time I will watch this. This series destroyed me. I couldn't stop watching, even though I knew the ending, but it still got me.

The epitome of a melodrama DONE RIGHT
Classic melodrama done absolutely perfectly. The angst and anticipation of how everything will pan out was executed flawlessly.Funnily enough, I loved how the ending progressed. Usually in melodramas I enjoy feeling the devastation (bawling my eyes out and all that) but surprisingly, I loved how calm and genuine the ending was since they didn't show Daeum's death. IMO, they wrapped the drama up beautifully.
The small details were all so meticulously written! I am just in awe of Namkoong Min and Jeon Yeo Been. 10/10 drama for sure.
