Though a slow-paced and slow-burn story, it was a very engaging psychological thriller with lots of plot-twists and revelations and compact storytelling. The bleak atmosphere, the mundane setting, the imposing piano music, as well as the reserved performances complemented perfectly this dark and heavy story about finding closure, uncover truths people want to keep hidden and moving on.
An emotional, healing journey of a lonely, broken and unhappy man through his unconventional encounter and deep bonding with a 'fallen' angel. Beautifully filmed, even though there where a few noticeable plot holes and flaws in the storytelling, it was a sad but heartwarming story of love, connecting, self-discovery and moving on in life.
Heartbreaking, as well as inspiring story of the aftermath that bulling, mistrust and miscommunication can cause to young students and their families. Although predictable and slow-paced, the exceptional, smooth and mature performances of the young actors, especially Kim Hwan Hee and Nam Da Reum (though I'd love to enjoy much more screentime of his) made this family melodrama an interesting watch.
Nostalgic, bittersweet romance/melodrama story from an era when radio was still a thing and internet was just becoming a means of communication. Slow-paced, full of yearning, restrained emotions and actions and unrequited feelings, it may be a bit confusing and frustrating some times, but the wonderful cinematography of nocturn Seoul and the remarkable performance of Jeon Do Yeon, who carries the movie, in this debut film of hers are reasons enough to give this a try.
It felt like watching a j-drama version of a typical makjang, with all the familiar characters and tropes. Better than expected, in spite of the toxic relationships and the extremely frustrating miscommunication and lying. Not bad for a one time binge-watch.
A surrealistic poem, an unorthodox road-trip walking on top of walls, a hypnotic journey full of triggerings, allegories and symbolisms. Heavy, dark and disturbing, graphic some times, laconic some others and utterly sad throughout its duration, with visually and emotionally stunning cinematography and storytelling, complimented elegantly by the melancholic and endearing music score, and one of the most unexpected, moving and devastatingly beautiful ending scenes I've ever watched. Watch with caution.
Unsettling, confusing as well as gripping thanks to its masterfully crafted plot-twists, with an exemplary blend of multiple dark genres, superb production and storytelling that creates a disturbingly ominous, eerie, gore-drenched atmosphere and a fantastic performance from child actress Kim Hwan Hee, this is a difficult, demanding watch that lingers in one's mind long after the film ends. A unique horror movie definitely not for the faint-hearted.
Bittersweet and a bit sappy tribute to the stuntman and comedian Jackie Chan of our childhood. The story isn't much, feels uneven and predictable, but Jackie's chemistry with his horse Red Hare and his smooth, experienced performance made this an enjoyable and very familiar watching experience.
A beautiful, rewarding watching experience! Frankly, I didn't care about how realistic or beautified the mental/medical approach was, because it is a drama and not a real life documentary after all, but I could really feel the warmth, consideration and effort that were put on this and it was enough for me to enjoy the ride. Emotional, touching and healing slice-of-life story with a wonderful, heartfelt performance from Park Bo Young and Lee Jung Eun. Highly recommended.
Bleak and disturbingly realistic dystopian/survival story about the darkness and cruelty of human nature, the morality (or lack of) and desperation during disaster and chaos. With a high production value and a solid cast, this was a gripping watch, even though there could have been more depth in the storytelling and the characters.
Bizarre, whimsical take of the Sleeping Beauty fairytale curse, surrealistic and colourful settings, extravagantly rich visuals, classic Disney vibes blended with Chinese mythology and lengthy musical sequences in a quest to discover if true love really exists.
A sad, frustrating story about prejudice, misunderstandings, blind beliefs, lack of empathy and how those can distort the truth and destroy one's life. Though it wasn't a flawless storytelling, it was a thought-provoking and challenging watch.
A powerful and wholesome story of a found family derived from the kidnapping of a genius child by a loyal, compassionate man. Nuanced dialogues and compelling relationships in a character-driven storytelling that, although it felt a bit exaggerated in some parts, had the necessary emotional weight to hold all its elements in the right place. Riveting performances from Yuna and Yoon Kye Sang in their demanding, challenging roles, as well as an impeccable chemistry and bonding between them, in a captivating and rewarding watching experience. Highly recommended!
Delicate and bittersweet story of the trauma caused by dysfunctional families and immature parents and how their mistakes can affect the life and mentality of their wounded children. Though the ending felt totally out of place, overall it was an enjoyable healing slice-of-life film.
