An eerie, thought-provoking story about the meaning of life and death, and how regrets, choices, determination, desperation and love can be the light or darkness in someone's life. Devastatingly sad and, at the same time, full of warmth and hope, this unique concept -with all of its surprises, revelations and interconnections- was beautifully written and paced, while the stunning cinematography, the masterful use of darkness and light, and the exceptional performances from the cast made this a fascinating and memorable watching experience.
It may be difficult to follow the story, especially for people who aren't familiar with the historical facts, and may frustrate some others that wished for more spice in the relationship between the leads, but Nam Da Reum's talent and charisma were enough to make this short special enjoyable.
It took me a few episodes to warm up to it, I had a hard time to decide if I like this mixture of dark comedy and borderline sappy melodrama, I was really skeptical about most of the flawed characters involved and their actions, but the cast, the cinematography, the music and -most of all- the road trip without destination, as well as Woo Do Hwan’s charms, made this unbalanced drama quite enjoyable.
Interesting premise in a purposefully confusing storytelling that turned out to be more cliché, complicated and difficult to follow than necessary. Though it had some good fighting scenes and some nice cinematography, overall it wasn't something memorable and the characters not likeable enough to connect and sympathize with.
A subtle but impressive short story about all those people who struggle to live 'normally' their everyday lives, trying to find a safe and comfort place to be themselves.
Bittersweet, delicate and affectionate love story with an unexpected but well-matched pairing between Haru and Nino. It may be slow-paced and with a somehow awkward editing, but the acting and the wonderful cinematography made up for those mishaps.
A refreshingly charming sismance-centered story (at least the first half of it), with strong retro vibes, lots of character development for most of its leads, and a great female friendship and camaraderie depiction. An entertaining watch that could have been much better if the ending wasn't rushed, the focus was on the team's quirky business till the end, and not too much screen time was lost in the mystery subplots and the lukewarm romance.
A very entertaining drama with many hilarious moments, lots of touching scenes and some intriguing cases in a unique approach of an investigation/action centered story. The cast did a very good job portraying their eccentric characters and personas, as well as their commendable team work, and they definitely had a great time while filming this. Highly recommended for some good laughs and a lighthearted, not-so-serious watch.
A heartwarming coming-of-age story, full of dance, sports, youth and sismance. With nostalgic, retro vibes and some great dance scenes, this was a feel-good, angst-free and very entertaining watch. Time well spent.
