Shades of the Heart (2021)

Expect the Feeling of 'Meh'

At first, I only watched it because of IU, but watching the movie as a whole was worth it. Now I know why it's called Shades of the Heart

I recommend watching it if you watch Slice of Life kind of film or drama.

Your feelings will just be 'Meh', if you know what I'm saying, It can be boring for a lot of people, you may also get the similar feeling to a drama 'My Mister', when Ji-An (IU) is listening to Dong-hoon just walking his way from his work all the way to a friend's bar through the wiretapped phone but the feeling of getting to know different people's stories and their perspectives can be quite nice, whether a person is thinking that everything is moving quite fast or a person realized that he/she actually received a bad news sugarcoated in a good news

Weird movie

No, i didnt see it for IU but she did enhance me to watch it. Maybe becuz of her, i stopped debating and watched the movie. I am not sure whether it was a good decision or whether it is bad decision but what i can say is that this movie left me confused.

The movie starts all good starting with IU which is a good sign. Her face in the beginning is like warm sun rays on a Monday morning. As they go more into it, it gets confusing and crazier. Just like a bus trip. You start out nice and then it gets busier and crazier and boom, you have to stop since you reached your destination. You catch another bus and the same loop continues. Just when you think it is going peaceful, someone holds your book and throws it out of the window. Every single story is like that and the only thing connecting them is him. The ending was confusing af and i dont think i want to understand it cause i left it there and then.

The acting and cast was top-notch. Never expected anything but i am sure pleased. I liked the character of bartender girl and maybe that story brightened the whole movie for me. Everyone did somehow please me. The music was not something that stood out and small sounds made a nice vibe. Perhaps the no filter silence was what made the movie nicer in a way.

Overall unless i am bored as hell, i will not watch it. Maybe someday i will be and i may watch it but never after that. It was a nice movie but not everyone's cup of tea and definitely not mine since i understood nothing. I am not watching it again to understand it also. Try it out.
