I LIKE IT SO MUCH! will rewatch tomorrow! SO WORTH IT
this is actually a healing movie and all the song is SO CRAZY like it’s SO GOOD my favorite is “sky full of stars” one it’s unforgettable and I got goosebumps. I THOUGHT the lead actor was a vocalist but I just found out he’s a rapper on his group for 9 years?? 😭 HE SINGS SO WELL ngl and his voice range?? GOD he can play any genre and he’s so good with instruments. I love the actor’s acting, they deliver the message and play the role so well, their chemistry 👌 After watching this I wonder do I have a box, and if yes, what is it.....Was this review helpful to you?
A beautiful masterpiece!
My friend and I watched this in the cinemas, and if it weren't for me being in public, I would've cried from happiness.It's truely a beautiful film - a healing, soothing and perhaps emotional one. The Box is about facing your fears and taking a leap of faith on what you're suffering from. The acting was really good. Musically, it's incredible and absolutely breathtaking.
Chanyeol perfectly portrays the character he plays and every moment in the movie tugged at my heartstrings. It was just perfect!! I personally relate a lot to his struggles which ultimately deepens my love for this movie. And the chemistry between him and Jo Dal Hwan was really sweet.
Ji Hoon's character development is so precious - how he manages to finally face the world and break out of his box. I like this reference of every individual initially being stuck inside their own box of worries or struggles until they're able to grow and break through it - it's never too late to fight your fears and live freely, basically don't give up and do what makes you happy.
Chanyeol's voice??? SO HEAVENLY! He did an amazing job, I'm so proud of him. The OST is just pure perfection. It makes me cry, especially What a Wonderful World, it's so beautiful, I mean how can I not tear up? And Chanyeol's "youuuu" at 2:38 in A Sky Full of Stars gives me goosebumps holy moly!
I don't know what it is that Korea does, but they just make the best movies (and soundtracks).
The Box has a special place in my heart. It's just a masterpiece, from the music to the actors! I will forever treasure it. I totally recommend giving it a watch, you'll love it!
