Yup I've seen it! It was depressing, bittersweet and memorable. I guess this movie too (apple) needs the right mood for it ;)

What about girl? :P I heard of that movie some time ago but didn't get around watching it. So is it that good?

True that! Thanks for the advice :D Specially Departure every time I see the title I feel guilty but I can't seem to set my mood right. I think I'll leave Crounching Tiger hidden dragon for when I get sick because, somehow, I get in the mood for those types of movies when I'm sick XD
As for Rashomon, I need to set my mood right for watching Mifune Toshiro movies!!

I've seen 8/15, but I need to watch Departures, Rashomon and Crouching tiger ASAP. Thanks for the list ;)

I like that tone more though, but it makes the title really our of place. What's that in the end as if they all die? Oh and the white ppl in there take some getting used to. In any case I hope it gets subbed ;)

Where can I watch this? :(

ok yay I dowloaded the torrent so I'll try downloading it tonight ;)

What about subtitles?

Just looking at such a cast!!

This movie had a simple story, but it's display of parental-children affection left me with many emotions. Neither the parents, nor the children are portrayed as perfect. For instance I found both siblings very selfish, because their world taught them so. Even so, neither are heartless. Supporting roles added a nice touch to the overall theme. The acting wasn't outstanding, but chill.

With this little number of episodes, and such a cast, I wonder why it wouldn't get picked up and subbed :(

Didn't read the spoilers but does the ending ruin it that badly?

Seen all except Cruel City. I really need to start it ASAP!

Love that list :D

It's not an easy watch, overwhelming and needs a lot of attention, so it took me a long time to finish it, but oh boy I don't regret watching any minute of it. Writing like that doesn't come along often, specially from South Korea!

I think it's because the synopsis was misleading. Thankfully it looks like the one here has been updated to a more fitting one ;) I find the drama brilliant. Not perfect but brilliant! It's just that it doesn't have that mainstream appeal.

Come on I liked the husband, he sure showed courage and thanks to him the people that were captured with him managed to overcome their capturer. He's just not as amazing and gifted as the brother. The sister though, her eagerness to save her brother is what killed him. I wish he lived though, but if she was killed it would've been a worst punishment to have him survive.

"Fear, you simply face it straight on"

This one is mainly action, and oh boy was the action great. It kept me on the edge of my seat. All main characters surprised me how much they kicked ass. The last 15 minutes was so intense though. If anything wasn't too great, it'd be the effect used on a certain animal :P

Other than great action, the movie did have something deeper that made you invested in the main character and absorbed to the screen the whole time. The is the bonding of brother and sister, of loyalty, of moving on and changing life, but mainly of FACING OUR FEARS. I guess what made the action so intense is the presence of fear. Thanks to the acting, every hit they get, or missed but a close call, you see through the eyes of the characters the shock, and having to overcome it in a matter of seconds. Anyways had a great time watching it ;)

As you can tell, I REALLY liked that movie. I really LOVED Go Soo here. He was pretty different from EoG :P His love here is as selfless as selfish he was in Empire!

What caught me by surprise was the relationship between Kong Jin and Dol Seok. It was my favourite in the story. They are men of art, and they understood each other well, but unfortunately their background and values differ greatly, putting them at odds with each other. I liked Park Shin Hye as the queen. She's all class, so having her in a role where she may be looked at pitifully but still holds her elegance and class with dignity makes it perfect for her.

A big portion of the movie is all fun, but as expected with Sageuk, it escalates quickly to a different tone. Somehow I was invested enough with the characters to follow with the tone.

THAT was a rare breed of weirdness XD Just perfect for my Odagiri and the amazing Ziyi Zhang. I didn't really get the ending but I really enjoyed the directing, incorporating musical and theater-like acting and setting, and colours.

Everything about the setting and fashion felt very Japanese folklore-ish, despite having a Chinese leading lady. And the inverse is also true, Having Ziyi Zhang felt spot on despite having a very Japanese setting.

Since it's about Tanuki, the weirdness kinda reminded me of the anime chouten Kazoku ;)

Bubblegum!! So excited about that one!! Love the leads!! :D
