I thought it was funny and cute, nice light movie. I don't agree with jwhites' review at all. I've been watching Filipino movies for a couple days and the English and Philipeno code mixing and code switching is very common, and I don't think their English is unintelligible. I don't necessarily think the actress's acting was over the top; it seemed like that was the character. However, I'm not familiar with her besides this movie, so I can't say for sure.
Ah ha! So she did play Lawyer Seo's assistant in Prosecutor Princess! I'm watching Oh My Ghost(ess) now. I haven't seen her play a main role, but she plays her supporting roles perfectly.
Didn't know she was a singer.
on episode 9. While I'm enjoying it (and freaking out about the whole Sun Ae's death sub/background-plot...), I'm starting to get annoyed with Bong Seon/Sun Ae's persistence. I understand why she's in a hurry, but seriously. Chill out.
I wanna know what happens, but at the same time, I'm nervous! I like Sun Ae more, honestly.
I love "Cordon." It seems like he's overlooked, but I love how perceptive and seemingly indifferent he is. He's one character I'd like to know more of....but at the same time, I like the mysteriousness.
there's a lot of English dialogue in what I've watched so far (on YouTube); the rest, I'm not sure of, but some can be inferred from their actions.
I just don't like how annoyingly clingy she is....and I've only watched seven and half minutes...
edit: so...I can't find the second part of the movie anywhere. The links I found are invalid and it's not uploaded to YouTube like the first part....
Well, this was interesting.
I think genres "Friendship" and "Life" should definitely be added, I'll suggest that. Because that's more of that this movie is about. It's not much of a comedy, nor heavy on the romance, but there is that aspect, but more of a side plot than anything. "Bromance" should be a genre, it really should; that's more accurate, I think, but Friendship will do. Drama probably also should be applied. [edit: the genres have been updated].
I personally wasn't really left feeling anything; even when obstacles got in the way of their dreams, when things were at the "lowest point," I didn't have much of a reaction. It was more of a time-killer for me. I think the fast-pace, at least in the beginning, is probably the culprit. We don't know anything about any of the characters' histories, why they want to make it in the movie (or modeling, for Chin Xi) industry...so I didn't get much of a connection. It's more plot-based, not character-based. The focus on only the present seems to be used to deliver the message or intent of the movie. The cinematography was really good, although I don't know much about that sort of thing, and it also lent to the atmosphere of the movie. The two links to reviews below better cover all the details. I'm not writing a review, so I'm not going to get into all that.
The summary is pretty short and doesn't give you much insight into the movie, just enough to give you an idea. Actually, it's about a young man who aspires to be a screenwriter, not film director. The Dream Brothers (I think that's what they called themselves) consisted of the main character, Sha Guo, who writes scripts; Ma Dai, who works the cameras; and Xiaoguo, wannabe actor.They get Sha Guo's script, Living with the Werewolf, invested by a woman, Miss Ma (Heidi Wong), provided they promote her beef jerky product. However, as time goes by, she keeps changing her mind on what she wants in the film, causing Sha Guo many hectic and sleepless nights and days (assisted by the other two who feed him, give him drinks, etc. as he types) rewriting the script eventually several times over, until it's hardly what he originally wrote.
Sha Guo uses an app called WeChat (blatant advertising & promotion here) to find people to talk to. His image is of a Shar pei dog, and his username is something like SadSharpei. He gets contacted by Chin Xi (Angela Baby), who happens to live across the street, and invites him over (great idea, by the way; tell a random stranger on a chat app where you live...>_<). He goes, thinking he's going to get lucky, and they talk about his choice of username. She tells him she has a surprise and to close his eyes; he does, for a few seconds, then starts flipping out and getting excited. But it turns out she just wants him to watch her Shar pei, Ma Chou, because she's going away for a photo shoot and needs someone to look after the dog. Sha Guo ends up being her dogsitter, but they (as well as Ma Di and Xiaoguo) become close as she rises in fame, and she follows their progress on their movie. He asks her many times to be his girlfriend, which she pretty much shrugs off, but in a natural way and neither cause drama over it. This isn't the main plot, after all, so all the typical romantic drama would detract from the point of the film (although the classic "don't leave," "where did you go," "why are you not contacting me," I'll-chase-after-your-car, etc. does come up briefly in the end of the movie).
But things in life don't go how we want or expect them to; which is why I've added Life to the genres.
For more information and reviews (possibly spoilers!), I recommend http://www.filmbiz.asia/reviews/love-on-the-cloud which has been extremely helpful in adding cast members to MDL, as the credits in the video I watched were small and pixelated/blurry, and I couldn't quite read some of the names.
Also, IMDb has one review that also is good at summing up the movie (again, possible spoilers, not specifics or anything, but....guess it depends on your idea of what's a spoiler): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4242844/
I'll post a semi-spoiler (no names, no specifics) warning people like myself who like to know when those things happen before watching, and hints about the ending.
well....it's hard to say much because the subtitles for English were so freaking small and hard to see, so I missed some of the dialogue, but it seemed like a decent movie. Not very heavy on romance; I think it's more about learning how to/the process of letting go someone you love, even if it's to another person.
is it sad that when I saw the preview image that only shows the bottom half of his face that I immediately yelled "TOP!"? I recognized that bone structure! Or whatever it's called. Haha
if you like how the first season ended, I DON'T recommend watching this one. It totally ruined my satisfaction…
I'm aware of that, which is why I said they could've sent her away. If I remember correctly, she, the character, had a sister in the US. They could've gone to visit or something before wedding, I dunno, but killing her off was too extreme for me. There's other things you can do with a character that doesn't require killing it.
Well, this was interesting. I'm not sure how it would be confusing (unless you don't watch to the end, since things get figured out). Yes, it was a bit slow. It's a calm movie. If you're looking for something more exciting, heavy on romance, and busy, this isn't it. But if you'd like to watch a film about two people who apparently did a whole lot of crazy things one drunken night that makes no sense the next day when sober and the couple tries to figure out what the heck happened, then watch this. There are a couple things I wonder about, like the llama, but it's not a big deal.
The videos with subs that I was able to find weren't great quality, and I could barely see the subs, so I streamed the video in VLC player, downloaded the subtitles separate, and had those overlay the hardsubs instead.
I don't think this movie should be categorized as Thriller. That's much too generous. Comedy...well, I wouldn't say this is really a comedy, but to each their own. If anything, it should be listed under Mystery.
It does have an interesting plot, but it moved too fast. It's like there were a bunch of scenes cut out. I have questions still! I'm confused! I think they packed too much into the movie, but I totally can see this as a Korean drama. It has the right elements.
This was really good...I didn't expect much but I'm glad I watched it. I didn't see the...twist or whatever coming…
That the ghost guy was really her dead husband looking like and pretending to be the guy she'll end up with, who is obviously still alive. It was the husband's way of getting her to move on and become accustomed to other guy.
Didn't know she was a singer.
