Finally finished Wong Kar-Wai's informal trilogy. Among the three, 2046 stood out to me for it beautifully portrayed unfulfilled love, with its aspirations and regrets.
The quote “Love is all a matter of timing. It’s no good meeting the right person too soon or too late.” perfectly encapsulates the movie.
This movie goes to show how war scars people who have witnessed it firsthand badly, with the emotional damage and trauma perpetuating among their loved ones.
And the intensity builds up with the appearance of Lee Joo Bin's character!
P.S. I find it really funny how competitive Jung Ji Ho is from not allowing someone to pass him even if he was injured during hiking to the housewarming competition. Eventually, this will culminate to win the girl that has captured his heart and made him change for the better
The century-old ritual at Uzukawa Village was bizarre and freaky.
I really found it weird that Aiko chan did not speak up regarding her mother's death from the very start, but then we won't have a story. Can't imagine the trauma on Aiko chan's part after learning everything about her parents
What a riveting series! This just goes to show how huge the role of parenting is in the development of a child's personality. Loved how each episode contrasted different character perspectives to provide a complete picture to the audience.
But among the stories, Ep 3 captivated me the most

A must-watch for film enthusiasts. Rating: 9/10
Nonetheless, the ending made perfect sense, with the “players” fighting for their lives and be given another chance to turn their lives around

I liked how they played around the idea of “looks are deceiving” as we got to know about each character’s circumstances
But among the stories, Ep 3 captivated me the most
My favorites were episodes 1, 3, 4, 8, 14, and 15.
