Diva is not a movie, it's a piece of art that lures the viewer with its amazing plot line

At first I added the movie"diva" to my watch list for it's star studded cast including two of my favorite actresses: shin min-ah and Lee yoo-young ,and because there were no english subtitles for it I just forgot about it for a while , but on January 29th of 2021 i found it in one of the Korean movie sites and i downloaded it immediately because I remembered it was on my watch list , and after watching it I'm just speechless and amazed by this movie
The plot was well delivered by the director who brought this thrilling story to Life with such amazing actresses and actors who brought their characters to Life with their amazing portrayal of their respective characters, this doesn't contain spoilers so I'm not gonna say too much about the movie, although it was quite at first but the movie kept building an amazing third act that was extremely good and well made and really made the movie unforgettable to me and blew my mind after that amazing ending and revelations involving the disappearance of Lee yoo-young's character(soo-jin) i really loved that the director focused on their relationship that is full of jealousy and blame towards each other since they were young , at last i really recommend this movie to everyone who's looking for a thriller and mystery themed movie,"diva" would do the job

A personal review of one of the highest grossing korean movies of 2020

Samjin company english class is a good movie, i really enjoyed watching it and honestly the cast really made this movie work, outstanding performances by all the leads from go ah-sung,esom and Park hye-soo,they really brought dorothy and Michelle and sylvia to Life (i used their english names) ,also the supporting actors were all amazing, i really enjoyed so-ra's character although Lee joo-young had so little screen time but she did an excellent job portraying her character and I also loved all the men's characters i really loved how the director made them or portrayed them as hard working employees who do their job as they are told and didn't make them evil characters, although there are a few evil characters (no spoilers) , this is my first time watching Lee jung-pil's work and i liked it,it was entertaining watching it and that's why I think the movie did well in the box-office and surpassed 1million admissions despite covid-19 rising in korea,i would definitely watch and anticipate Lee jung-pil's work in the future

Kim ha-neul from 18 again isn't here

A good revenge movie , i really liked the third act it's so unpredictable and surprising that she killed her i really thought she was just hallucinating and thinking about it but, when I saw the body i was shocked , i didn't like the beginning of the movie, and I really hated the student, but i think the role is meant to be like this, innocent from the outside but really dark and evil from the inside, i liked the role of kim ha-neul although she was stupid, but what she did in the ending out of rage was unpredictable, but she was holding the anger all the way from the start of the movie, I'm used to watch genre movies and awards contenders like this so it was good to watch this,it feels like the director really wanted to make a kind of an american oscar contender, for me it's an 8 out of 10

The first zombie i watched with a happy ending

The chemistry between yoo ah-in and Park shin-hye was unbelievable i hope they meet on a 16 episodes drama some day
The movie is surprisingly good for a zombie movie,i really liked the acting on this movie,it was so realistic for a zombie movie,yoo ah-in really did a great job portraying a gaming junkie,who stays at home a lot and doesn't buy groceries (a movie hint) and they didn't give a lot of backstory to park shin-hye's character except from her phobia but i really enjoyed her character she was fearless and so brave and looked beautiful while doing it
And the highlight of the movie really was the happy ending which was so surprising to me because if you watch a zombie movie you usually expect a sad and unsatisfying ending but it was the opposite for this one which was great like who doesn't like a happy ending
And i really enjoyed the aspect of social media in the movie and the fact that social media really saved the main leads because of a instagram post
It's a ten out of ten for me ,I'm actually have been exploring korean cinema and this movie is a highlight for me
