Presumptions & Perceptions

This movie is an essay on presumption and perception.
Every scene explores how different people interpret the same things based on how their life experiences have shaped their point of view. From the editor's notes to the male writer, to the editor's "romantic life," and the conflict about a couple's first love story.

Beautifully shot scenes, excellent acting, and a story that challenges the viewers presumptions and perceptions.

I was super excited for this movie because of Lee Dong Wook and what I thought I would be seeing, and I ended up seeing more than I expected.

Everything is perceived in a relative manner !

I stumbled across a feed post that said subs out, saw LDW and here we are !

This movie does not know where it stands and it has no say of it own it's just trying to be everything we see in the western films which go out and portray lives of single people as lonely and give out a message that there are people that surround you even in the dark or like the ones where they tell you to value people and one of the main character sets an eg themselves !

- the false hope kinda movies where after everything the boy falls for a girl - a sudden twist like a lie or anything to draw them apart and they suddenly mature and get together by the end - TYPICAL HALLMARK MOVIES! And no denial they have an audience of their own and people love them because they are done right.

but am I the crowd , NO! so apparently I should have bothered doing some research instead of jumping, which I usually do but I did not IDK why lord nvm that ...also I rarely watch kmovies so I am not sure what they do there generally but I just wish it had a few brainers bec for me the movie was too dumb!

The fl looked dishevelled, like wtf they did with her hair and clothes - no sorry that's not how editors generally look - she lacks the basic confidence - okay she is good at her job and what else - no personality ??? - just being dumb and drunk that's her thing.
yk when she actually takes a stand for her self by that time I rarely cared. she could be bad at love and taking hints but that's not how she is shown. instead the figure that comes to life for viewers is like she's a lost cause and has nothing of her own so poigant !

the ml was supposed to enjoy single life - like he doesn't seem to be doing so - he look's pathetically alone with no people no friends and more like he's a social star right - does he even look like he's enjoying posting ? he's not happy and please don't portray that single people can't be happy they can be and fuck can they are happy ! it's a choice ! - like in short he's just being pathetic !

the side characters -- omg they all have no personality - like i get that it's general for nerds to read books and be in the business but nerds can dress up and have a fucking personality - i am a book reader myself and I sure don't look like that, sorry bitches get things straight before you work on another project like that !

The only thing I liked about it was the message that everything is relative and what people remember is based on how they feel at present and it can't be the reality of it all ! - it's subjective !

all in all if you are trying to copy HALLMARK - better do a good job next time or I am literally skipping kmovies !

Why relationship are so important

Single in Seoul is about a man who don't want a relationship because believe that single is the best for someone who is broken in the past. And, also, about a woman who believe that your fate is being alone too because your all last date are never work well. But, both, with each other will learn what is loneliness in the piel, and understand that be alone don't is a human nature destiny, because in the most improbable moment in your life you'll find someone who will shine your life and change everything about you believe all the time.

Change or not to change

This is a beautiful looking movie. Production, story, acting, music – everything looks nice, especially the photography. But is there any value or substance beneath the appearance? I would say that there is.

The topic of living as a single person is very sensitive today because a lot of people live as single people intentionally or by force, and it is impossible to give a comprehensive answer and a sufficiently objective comment on such a life. My comment is that it is not good for a man to be alone. In any way, we need other people, and we live this reality most deeply in a couple as a man and a woman. This film approaches the subject in a creative, comical and, of course, romantic way. It respects single people, but is aware that they are also people who love, i.e. who are looking for/need love. As a book lover, I really liked that they used reading, writing and publishing a book as a metaphor for the human relationships. I would say that the movie gives better advice on writing books than on living as single.

I can't say that I completely agree with the philosophy of the story, but I really enjoyed watching this entertaining and emotional film.

Waste of everything

This movie could have the potential to be a good commentary on single people's lives.
Those who choose to remain single and those who are forced by the circumstances to be so. Unfortunately it is nothing like that and ends up as a shallow cringy romance. The director and writers of this film wasted the production budget, the cast and my time.

A little too formulaic

Just my personal opinion, but I REALLY don't like watching needy people. The FL was so desperate it really irritated me. I also wasn't feeling their relationship on a romantic level. I appreciated that they became friends, but it felt like the ending was forced to make is a HEA ending. When I watch shows, I'm all about the ML and FL ending up together, being the ultra-romantic that I am, but maybe because it was movie, there wasn't enough time to show why they fell in love. It also would have been good to have more of a secondary story about someone's choice to remain single. This movie definitely touted -- single is bad.

That being said, I did enjoy it for what it was.

Comme je disais, j’ai surtout regardé ce film pour les acteurs, j’avoue que j’étais curieuse également, vu le résumé. Malheureusement, j’ai été un peu déçue, loin de vraiment parler de la vie de célibataire, le livre lui-même fini par avoir un peu une autre tournure. Mais j’ai tout de même aimé comment le personnage masculin principal fini par s’ouvrir au monde un peu, au fil du film, et encore plus, comment il est démontré que deux personnes peuvent avoir un souvenir bien différent du même événement. Est-ce assez pour que je pense le revoir ? Non, mais ça se regarde tout de même bien, même si beaucoup de choses manque à ce film…
