I have a few issues though...

• How did everyone's bruises disappear so fast ?? Beak-Jin's face wasn't even red after being smashed over and over again with a WEAPON.

• The lack of broken bones? How many ribs would have been smashed in all these scenes? Beak-Jin could still stand. It felt like their bodies where not humans anymore, how did barely anyone got KOed, like they're a bunch of teens throwing insane punches to each other's jaws (which is supposed to zone you out for a while)...

• Is there ANY teacher or parents in this universe ? Like let's not forget they're all MINORS, how is no one getting involved in their kids' life. What happened when Jun Tae went home completely DESTROYED that one night ? Did nothing happen at all ? Why is no parent raiding the school to ask for some answers as to why their kids is coming home in pieces...

• Not ONE character got brain damage... how...?

I liked the first season because it was more complex, it was slower paced so easier to grow fond of the characters but also, it still managed to be realistic, the fighting has consequences... broken bones, brain damages, hospital stay, coma. In S2, everyone fight, they scream for a couple of second, but they get up and keep on going.

I enjoyed it, like most people, not as much as I did season 1 but it was good.

• Boss became so over the top... I don't mind characters who look extremely happy over hurting over characters, they're super creepy if they do it well (Seong-Je from Weak Hero Class 2; Gong-Ja in The Witch P1; the bullies in The Glory) but here it wasn't... the 'Mwahaha' laugh was ridiculous and annoyed me so much, especially since I thought about how much better it could have been if it was more subtle... same for the Four Horsemen...
• The whole last mission in the warehouse was just switching between terrible acted fight scenes, weird comedy, and suspense filled scenes... it was so weirdly done I couldn't care less if any of the characters died...
• thankfully I adored the Grandma and Rose! They were my favourite characters in the end...
• were we supposed to feel bad for Boss at the end ? I couldn't care less for him and the fact Tattoo kept stopping himself not to offend Arun when his father abused, harassed, kidnapped and almost killed his friends who took him in when said father kicked him out annoyed me a lot...

It was... something. I haven't watched Thai series in over a year I believe but I heard good things about this one and saw some clips here and there that made me want to try it...
I found the first half quite pleasant. I wanted to keep on watching, I liked the characters and just found the overall story interesting, then, it shifted... the second half was all over the place, over the top, the 'villains' were ridiculously extra and just made me roll my eyes, the fights even got weirdly executed... I ended up watching the last couple of episodes in 1.5...

Done 😊

A movie is always up to analysis, like any form of art. Even in the Korean movie, I see more than friendship, especially from Kim Da-mi's character, not anyone will see what I see, but we should always respect each other's opinion. It's sadly an issue on this site, some people do not accept any other opinion than their own...

Thank you very much!!

It's only with your comment I noticed my comment was posted 3 TIMES! I didn't even notice and will delete the two others right away ! I post comments very often and never did I ever spam.. saying it in a nice way would have been appreciated, especially since I say I rated the movie 8 and really loved it... ?

The constant back and forth between seriousness and comical bothered me. The case is clearly super serious and fits with the current issues in Korea, yet they threw a bunch of supposedly funny faces, music and actions... I like the idea of three women pairing up to help other women against men, yet, it never went deep or far enough, stayed on the surface and was fairly disappointing.

I have been putting off watching this for years. After watching: why did it take me so long. It's beautiful, guts wrenching, heart breaking. Those characters are amazingly portrayed and written. There's not a moment of boredom, just pure strong emotions.

Okay so Ballerina is flawed, it's fairly unrealistic and a bit over the top, I didn't like the music (but that's personal). Don't go into this expecting great cinematography with a deep, strong script. Yet I have to rate it a 8 because I still loved it. Seeing a woman go to such lengths to avenge the person she loved the most, losing probably herself in the process, not looking back and only feeling the thirst of vengeance, I don't need anything more than that. It's really entertaining, and if you are like me and LOVE seeing women fight and destroy abusive monsters, go for it.

It was a nice movie. A good story with good acting that takes you in Jeju with the characters ! A good watch!

I enjoyed it just a tiny bit less than the first part, for some reason.
Yet, I really liked seeing more of Ichiko's friendship with Kikko, and the sceneries and narrative were still really well done! The peaceful feeling of the first part remains here and you feel appeased watching them!

This was beautiful, very 'Japanese cinema' coded in several ways : very slow, poetic, a lot of untold and unshown stories, barely any OSTs, very subtle and beautifully shot. Basically it had everything I love so deeply about Japanese movies, while being Korean. Although it all took place in winter, it was so heartwarming.
I so loved the way this adventure brought this mother and daughter closer together, this letter brought so much more than expected. We went from a complicated family relationship, filled with tension and secret to a trust filled relationship full of care and laughter, and it was so so so beautiful!
I'd have loved to see more of Yoon-hee and Jun's past together, although it would have been very sad so I guess, in a way, I'm glad we didn't have to see it directly. Although we didn't see much of them together, we didn't have to, each of their scene showed how much they still thought and cared deeply about each other.
Anyway, I loved it.

It's an open ending, so it is up to your interpretation. There are two possibilities: they survived and got out after the storm safe and sound, possibly running away or just enjoying their day alone until having to go back to their harsh reality. Or, they passed and this is their rebirth, the play of lights, the blinding brightness of the moment they walk in the field could underline this. Rebirth is such a constant topic in the movie that it could be foreshadowing for this ending!

This movie is like a soothing, comforting hug. It almost feels like a doumentary sometimes because of how things are explained and showed, and it is definitely not a bad thing.
I loved the way the main ingredient of each dish was introduced, from how it grows to how to prepare it. You learn a lot if you're not a great cook, like me. I loved seeing this young woman live alone, and being almost entirement self sufficient. We can feel the peaceful atmosphere of the rural town and feel like joining her.
A great watch.

If it had been any other story, I think I'd find that all that was going on was too much, but here, everything fell in place perfectly, like a puzzle. Nothing felt out of place or strange, nor annoying or bothering. I didn't feel overwhelmed because it was well written and it all felt natural. Every family has secrets, everyone meet people and maybe those people unknowingly change the course of our life. It was a really heartwarming story, with beautiful characters. The movie manages to get you attached and interested in a character you've seen a couple of minutes.
It sure is a sad movie, but strangely enough, thanks to Futaba, it's also an amazing comfort movie,
Highly recommend.

Thank you loads! 😊

Thank you so much, I didn't know about that at all and thanks to you, I was already able to watch two movies that I had been waiting for years !!

I really enjoyed this movie. It was heartwarming and so adorable in so many ways! I am a huge fan of intergenerational friendship as both parties usually learn a lot from each other and this movie proved it. I think most of us know how it feels to have to keep a hobby to ourselves, no matter how happy it makes you, if that hobby does not interest others, you feel like keeping it to yourself but want to ramble about it over and over. We felt that as they opened to each other and shared their hobby together, it was so beautiful and fun to watch, I felt envious of their friendship. I wanted to join them and get excited and happy together. I loved seeing Yuki get all excited during her first reading, it almost gave her a second youth, look at her change of style between the very first scene and her last scene, so much more colourful!
One thing I also really loved in the movie was the lack of mean, judgemental characters. It's so rare and it felt so refreshing! Everyone was kind and supporting and that's also what made it such a comfort film!
I'd have loved for Eri and Urara to get to know each other, and it would have been fun if Eri joined them in the end and I think, in a way, Urara's friendship with Yuki could allow Urara to consider other friendships!
Highly recommend if you want a great comfort movie!
