Too short, I want to see more of the main couple but pretty well executed and informative.
What can one expect of a 30 minute short film?Well apparently quite a bit, this is a way to short portrayal of mainly people with different visual impairments who are part of a photography club. Where they get to introduce themselves showing a variety of impairments as well as ways to relate to having a visual impairment.
I would have wanted to see more of these people day to day life, as well as see more of the main couple interact with each other so I would have wanted this to be full length. I will admit that the entertainment value is ok, but not great but they did have me laughing with them recognising situations as well as did a pretty good job in showing how people who mean well actually can do harm as well as some day to day struggles.
The leads are phenomenal, and I liked that they used A-list stars for this, I also like how they show different aids as well as a slight glimpse into why people who need them may choose to not to use them unless completely necessary to avoid unwanted help. And As usual Han Mins character rocked, she was straight forward, competent, fun and all rownd lovable. Even if the short film focuses a but to much on the visual impairity they did manage to humanise the characters, break some stereotypes and show them as individuals with ability as well as dreams capable of attraction, desire and affection.
All in all definitely worth 30 minutes of your life! And available on YT

Why was this not a movie?!
What a lovely 30 minutes I spent. I haven't felt a short story impact me so much before that long after I finished watching it, I still can't forget about it!So aside from the brief synopsis, lemme tell you why you should invest your 30 minutes in this short film:
- Available for free on YouTube with subtitles
- Super cute & super fluffy romance
- Park Hyung Shik & Han Ji Min
- Brilliant acting
- Learn the importance of understanding the lives of people with physical disabilities
- Understanding the necessity to make the world more easily accessible to people with physical disabilities
- Learn to feel happy and grateful for all the little and big things in your life
- Feel grateful for your body no matter how it is
- Feel light-hearted & happy (there's no crying involved here.....but I still cried)

I am so impressed with the acting in this story. Park Hyung Shik and Han Ji Min do a great job portraying people with visual impairment. In fact, I would have believed that everyone who was visually impaired in this show was indeed visually impaired. That is not always easy to pull off, but they all did it well. And more importantly, they did it differently from each other. Each person's impairment was different and they played it that way. Truly impressive.
I can not recommend this enough. It is absolutely a must watch. Enjoy!!!

STRAIGHTFORWARD - SWEET - HEARTWARMING
This is a short film made by Samsung to promote Relúmĭno, Samsung’s visual aid application for people with visual impairment.I literally cried in the wave scene & de last scene where PHS hearts Soo Young.
In Soo (Park Hyung Sik) suffers from Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) and is slowly losing his sight. He joins a photography club for the visually impaired, where he meets Soo Young (Han Ji Min). Our story touches on their individual struggles with their physical limitations, as well as covers their growing bond as they get to know each other better.
VERDICT_ Show is prettily shot. Actors are too cute & the story is sensitively written. So, I’m just thankful I gave the short film a chance, since it’s nothing like those poorly written promotional series or movies.
P.S Do check the ost sung by Park Hyung Sik, its super warm...

They blind
In the movie we follow blind man and blind girl who are very much blind and can not see because of their blindness. When you are blind you can not see with your eyes so you have no vision nor can they see anything. It is important to know that they have a visual imparment before wathing the movie, I did not know because I went in to the movie blind. If you want to watch the movie I suggest not doing it blind because you need to see the tv to be able to view the movie. Overall very good movie I will give it a score of ten out of ten stars. (very good and also very great)Was this review helpful to you?
Beautiful!
What a beautiful and touching story! Short and sweet. Park Hyang Sik was amazing in this. In such a short film, he was able to portray a lovable and charming character who we can all fall in love with. It doesn’t hurt that he is such a good looking man. I like the a lead female too...not annoyingly clumsy or dumb. The supporting actors were all caring and lovable too. It’s darling life lesson for everyone...to make the best of your situation and find blessings even during your worst times. I would totally watch this again.Was this review helpful to you?
The fact is people are weak and helpless towards some fatal diseases. If I am not wrong, this short film tried to portray the positive side of living with your shortcomings. Here none of the characters are shown in despair or none shown a bit frustrated with their situation. Such a biggest gift they are gradually losing but they have learnt to accept it wholeheartedly and living it through diligently. Although they are losing sight but they have found the means to artificially capture the real moments with beaming happiness which they can cherish all through their life.
Accepting darkness, they have been adapting positivity of life through embracing hope of light. The message is clear and simple: always be positive no matter what.
Beautiful, meaningful and wonderful short film with some wonderful casts.
It can be watched multiple times. So what are you waiting for? Give it a shot. You won’t regret.

Value in the little things.
I do have to say, this didn't make me sad, it made me feel happy for a couple reasons. If you look at these people with despair, and pity then this will probably make you sad, but I don't think that's what these people want or deserve. A lot of people see disabled people as pitiful or helpless, but in stories such as these you can only look at these people and stare in awe. Struggling with disabilities and coming out the other side even intact is impressive and hopeful, but finding happiness and ways to live your life to the fullest of your capabilities is extremely admirable. No matter the reason for their disability it's a lifelong war, the least we can is help them when we can, and also sit back and watch when they need it. It's stories like these to remind most that we're lucky and that there's more to life then what you don't have, there's what's right in front of you. The writing for this short film is truly a treat, thank you to all of the cast members, and productions members for making this possible.Was this review helpful to you?
Han Ji Min is doing a great job in the acting department as well as Park Hyung Sik, I like how both of them are in sync with their scenes & characters.
I appreciate the details of the short film, from the cinematography and music; there's nothing really big with it but it's very genuine that seems appropriate for this type of film.
This film made me see a new perspective of people who have disabilities that they can work and enjoy their hobby too with the help of the people who believe in them. Sometimes we, who are complete & normal physically we take things for granted but for them, every day is a battle but they see through things in a good, making themselves hopeful.
Totally recommended if you're looking for a film that makes you feel good & hopeful; it's short but it's very genuine. Love to see Han Ji Min and Park Hyung Sik work together again

Simple sweet love story
Seen this trailer sometimes ago. Quite touch with this simple love story. Finally decided to watch this today...Amaze how partial or complete blind person can learn photograph. Wondering is this true, that partial or blind person can learn photograph, or complete make up story just for the need of create story...? But what ever the answer I really still impress for person that partial blind still don't give up with their condition & still want to study something that we think impossible for blind person.
But for very berry short duration story like this of course they have something lack. What I think they rush it is: the love story. I really hope sometimes in the future we can see the long version of this short movie where they can expand the love story Ahn Soo Young & Seo In Soo.....

short, simple, uplifting
I really wish this was a longer movie or drama, this was such an uplifting and endearing storyline. It's very deep, meaningful, and thought-provoking. The acting was on point--I really wanted to see more. That said, it had a great pace and development overall for being so short. I felt very immersed in the characters and storyline, and it ended on a good note. I didn't feel in want of anything or that there were loose ends, but I enjoyed it so much I wished it could've kept going. I felt attached to all the side characters as well even though their parts were very short. Loved the music. The filmography was beautiful. Would love to see more full-length dramas like this.Was this review helpful to you?
