Intriguing premise and promising cast, but subpar outcome with many missed opportunities in terms of storytelling, pacing and conclusion. Many characters and subplots felt underused or even unnecessary and what made me keep on watching were: * Lee Jung Eun's talent and charisma that make her give life to any role she's given * Choi Jin Hyuk's rare and genuine smile * Mi Jin's supportive parents and bestie Not bad, but it could have been so much better.
Dense plot, engaging storytelling and great production in a well-crafted, fast-paced investigation thriller. Though it took me quite a while to warm up to it, mainly because I found it a bit confusing and difficult to follow during the first episodes, it soon became absorbing and, even if some things turned out to be too convenient and neat, it still was very entertaining thanks to the veteran cast, especially Ji Sung, Jeon Mi Do and Kwon Yul, and their demanding performances.
That pink poster almost made me skip this, but I had to watch Uhm Tae Goo's first leading role in a romcom, and he definitely didn't disapoint - in fact, he deserves most of the credits for this! Nice pairings, great bromance and an adorable ML, who carried the show on his shoulders most of the time. Though it had some pacing issues and some unnessesary subplot diversions during the second half, overall it was an entertaining, funny, fluffy and very summer romcom.
Slow-paced, a bit unfocused and disjointed in some of its subplots, with characters not very adequately fleshed out, and a plot that feels underdeveloped and unbalanced between its heavy and satirical moments. But overall a well-intended and mostly optimistic story about a group of movie lovers trying to overcome their hurdles and get their lives together.
Fast-paced, with a nice mixture of comic, dramatic and action scenes, exemplary CGI effects and an experienced cast, in a predictable, superficial story that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Still enjoyable for what it is, but not nothing memorable.
Slightly better than season 2, but definitely not on par with the 1st season, this was a rather underwhelming closure to a very promising story. Not bad, but not as epic as it was expected to be.
An utterly sad, extremely captivating story told in a subtle way, using flashbacks and cleverly put twists and revelations, about lonely, abused and betrayed people, their traumas, struggles and attempts to heal and move on. Toning down the melodrama and handling better some plot arcs would have been much beneficial, especial for the second half of the story, but Sugisaki Hana's talent and charisma was more than enough to overlook any of these issues. This young lady is definitely a force to be reckoned with!
Weak story, one-dimensional characters and some non-sensical plot-twists in a below average movie that was saved only by veteran, kick-ass, gorgeous Uhm Jung Hwa, who carried the whole project on her shoulders.
A quiet, considerate and very realistic character study of a reserved middle-aged man in crisis before his retirement, who is forced to reflect on his life, his attitude and decisions. Veteran actor Ken Mitsuishi delivered beautifully the multilayered introspective character of the protagonist, making this dialogue-heavy story an absorbing watch.
Based on an old Dangun legend, this was a bit outdated, kind of 90s style comedy that didn't rely much on its simple, silly story or the caricature characters, but mainly on the veteran cast and especially Park Sung Woong and his dual role. It had some entertaining moments, but nothing memorable.
A very enjoyable family movie with witty dialogues, predictable but heartwarming plot, nice balance between comic and dramatic moments and, most of all, great chemistry among the three protagonists: Cha Tae Hyun who was a pleasure to watch with his effortless performance, Wang Seok Hyun who was the cutest scene stealer and Park Bo Young who rightfully became a star with her demanding role. Highly recommended for a weekend watch.
A funny, heartwarming story of an unlikely friendship, with lots of melodies and cacophonies, comic and dramatic moments. The storytelling could have been much better and the characters more properly fleshed out, but overall the movie was enjoyable thanks to the great chemistry between rookie Saito Jun and veteran Ayano Go, whose performance was totally on point even though his voice was hilariously off beat.
Slow-paced and quiet, this is an allegoric story about the passage of time, the disconnection between past and present, and the loss of memory as a result of the rapid economic development of our times. Though a bit confusing and difficult to follow sometimes, the outstanding cinematography and the considerate, almost fragile tone made this an interesting watch.
Set at the of the 18th century in a rural tiny village of farmers that suffer from long famine, this is the story of an outcast young girl and her desperate cry for survival, hope and dignity. Using a minimal plot mixed with folklore elements, it explores some of the darkest sides of humanity during dire, life threatening times. The solid, powerful performance from Yamada Anna, as well as the poetically beautiful forest scenery, were the best advantages of this slow-paced and emotionally charged movie.
