The story could have been better. But it didn't work out. I thought they should spend more time on each and everyone. Not one or two episodes about one character and their happenings at home.
Also the drama was at sometimes really slow, boring and not entertaining at all.
Also it somehow needed more episodes, well they could have cut the boring parts and put some interesting parts in it.
Also the acting was average, it wasn't outstanding but also not to poor.
The music on the otherhand was very nice! I really liked it and it sounded really good. To bad that was the only great thing about this drama.

It has a touching story but somewhere they lack in something, it could have been an absolute masterpiece but somewhere and somehow they missed the right spot in their story.
The acting was very good and convincing, I felt anger, despair and sadness. The acting did fit in the way that they made this movie, their work with their camera's, the positions, the emotions, the characters and the music. I woulnd't call it unique but it is different it is not the same as most of the movies.
This movie isn't giving it all away, it makes you wonder and think also in the ending of the movie. The 'dilemma' of this mother is really understandable and somehow it isn't. It is a movie that could give yourself a conflict "what would I have done in this situation?" you might ask yourself in this movie, and because of this they scored alot of points in this movie i.m.o.
Watch this if you like movies that won't give you an immediate answer.
Skip this movie if you want an easy movie that give you all the information and ends without you left thinking about it.

I didn't read the manga or saw the anime. So my opinion is only based on watching this movie.
It has a quite good story with loads of room for the development for the characters. The story isn't unique but I actually really loved the 'parasyte' in the main person. Also they acted very good especially the main lead because it musn't have been easy to make a movie like this.
The movie is gory it has blood and dismemberd bodyparts so it isn't for everyone, I didn't expect that but this isn't for the faint hearted. But this movie keeps you on the edge, you just want to see and know more so they know how to keep you hooked. There are also little funny scenes it it, but it is really acceptable.
The special effects were great! I really liked those, it didn't look unrealistic at all. They did and amazing job in the CGI! The music was well chosen and fittend every scene.
There is a second part coming so I'll be sure to watch that but I wouldn't rewatch this movie very soon just because it is quite gory.
Watch this if you like science fiction/alien movies with gore.
Skip this if you can't handle blood and dislike CGI movies.

The fact that this movie was based on a real story, I am speechless! This is what makes this movie so special and better.
The acting was superb, I felt with them, I cried with them, I smiled with them and every emotion they where going trough. And really, that is a hard thing to accomplish in a movie.
The music fitted every scene and was outstanding! It gave some scenes even more power than it already had.
You'll cry and smile and at the end you will have some weird feelings in your stomach. This movie was amazing and I could definitely rewatch this anytime! I would recommend it to anybody who searches a amazing storyline, a powerful movie and outstanding acting!

The story is about work pressure, and since I am from the EU (where the work pressure is quite low) I found this movie interesting. The story is slow paced, but shows from every person a back story and you can possibly relate to them. Sadly the execution was a bit messy, there were a few flaws and real movie mistakes. That said, I could feel the suspension throughout the movie.
The actors all did a very well job, I wish some had more time to develop their character.
I didn't found the music pleasing at all times, and I don't think I would rewatch this movie.
Watch this if you like suspense / mysterie movies.
Skip this if you want a clear answer at the end of a movie.

I have not watched many South v.s. North - Korean movies, but I greatly enjoyed this one. It has a well written story with a good pace in it. Unexepectedly it has loads of humour in this movie, but it does end on a serious note! This movie is so great because it combines two opposites, smiling and crying! This is a well produced drama.
The actors were marvelous, I loved both of the main-leads. I could from both expect were they were coming from, this movie is also great because of the age gap between the two!
Music is making the movie, and fills in the dorky parts well.
I would rewatch this movie!
Watch this if you like movies about the Korean war period an humour/comedy
Skip this if you expect romance, or if you want a 100% non comedy movie.

The story looks really simple on the surface, but there is so much underneath it. This movie is just much more than showing what social media is and does. But also how people respond do is, there is a great psychological part to this movie.
The story is quite unique, there are a few movies like this, but this is a real thriller that will let you think abbout the effects of social media and how huge the internet is.
The actors did a marvelous job, and they really gave it all. I really could feel with them, and I felt that the emotions were very raw, I liked it!
The music was perfectly chosen, dark and loud.
I would rewatch this movie, because this one has more than meets the eye.
Watch this if you like psychological movies that handle a current topic.
Skip this if you are looking for romance.

The story is great, unique and extremely well executed! The story is logic, chronological and seems so real!! And the actors where amazing! Without them, this movie would be nothing. From the main leads to the supporting rolls, everyone contributed to this movie to make it as thrilling, scaring, amazing and above all great movie!
It seemed like I was in the movie, with the help of very good music and the way every scene was portrayed. I also loved how much attention they put in the scenery, because this also was very good!
This is a thrilling jam packed action movie, I would recommend anyone to watch it, and I would rewatch it anytime!

But this drama is worth your time! Because the acting is amazing! I fell in love with all the actors and how well Song Hye Kyo portrayed the blind Oh Yound. I even fell in love with the bad guys! The chemistry felt so real, they have chosen the right actors for the roles.
Also the music, it really sets the tone and they fitted well with every scene. Sometimes it was a little bit to much of the same song in one episode, but that's personal.
I think I wouln'd rewatch this soon because of the dragging at the end, it was bothering, but that can be personal n_n.
Very well, watch this drama if you're in for some romance, little laughs, bits of action and a quite good story.

I loved this movie, the story is well known but this one has a different approach and is quite unique if you ask me. I was hooked within the first minute the movie begand until the last minute. They made this so well. The characters were amazing, they all acted greatly and I loved the storyline.
It had twists, turns, action, shootings, blood but also a story. This is not a typical "lets kill everyone because yolo" no, this is more. They had me on edge, I even said "what the hell" out loud! They also knew how to move me in this movie even though not every character had a background story. They told just enough to feel with them.
The music fitted everyscene and I would rewatch this because I enjoyed this movie and I would recommend many more people to watch this.
Watch this movie if you like plot twists, action and thrilling scenes.
Don't skip this movie!

This movie is based on the manga Toshokan Senso, I' didn't read it so maybe people who did read the manga might find this movie not that great, or can't agree with my review, so please onderstaand that I didn't read the manga and based this review on the movie only!
The story is refreshing and living in the EU (and without any censorship) so I found this movie very interesting! The first parts of the movie are somewat slow but after 30 minutes it pickes itself up and gives you the action you've come for. It also contains tiny bits of humor, but that is fairly acceptable in this movie.
The acting was good, not great. But I did love those action scenes in them, they really took the time to perfect these. And the music really moved you in certain scenes!
Overall I did like this movie, there is loads of action involved, it might be educational and (maybe like me) you'll het interested in the case of censorship. Don't expect any romance if that is what you are looking for!

The storyline is very good, the saddest thing here is that this movie wasn't made up or scripted. No, this movie was made because it really happend. The acting in this movie is amazing, ecxpecially the children. Damn they made it so believe-able, the emotions, the silinces just everything.
I gave the rewatch value a 9, but I won't rewatch is. This movie was really heavy. That is what it made so great, they didn't coverd things up, they showed it how it really happend. The only time I'll watch this movie is when someone will ask me to watch it with them.
Overall is this a must-see movie, I'd recommend it but you have got to be strong to watch this. It's not for the faint hearted people.

The story is really shallow, not complicated or interesting at all. It is just the cute flower boys (and they are a treat to your eye) and as always the one girl.
I did like the costumes in this movie, some I found really funny and entertaining. The acting was average nothing special.
I would rewatch this movie when I am cleaning my room, I would not watch this with my full attention.
Hence, I did enjoy watch it for the eyecandy but in some scenes my phone was more interesting.
Watch this if you like flower boys and simple story.
Skip this if you want a interesting movie with a story, deep characters and action.

The story is partly fictional, but we all (even me as an European) know what happened on May 18th. They portray the story in a unique way to start the movie and I appreciate it!!
The acting is superb. I cried, got angry and felt so sad. The actors really moved me, I felt their pain and I could onderstand their actions. Their emotions and actions were so raw. As if the actors really did take part in that day.
This movie has action, suspense, drama and you are going to sit on the edge of your seat. It will leave you with many thoughts and emotions.
I would recommend it to anyone who wants to know (a little bit) of the history of may 18 (watch the movie May 18 for more information I also highly recommend this movie). I acctualy think everyone should watch this because it isn't a waste of time and the acting in this movie is so incredible and marvelous!

The story is easy to follow and really lighthearted. Nothing complicated or action filled here, just grab a cup of tea and enjoy this cheesy melodrama, just don't have any expectations. This is a movie you can watch without your full attention. They added the vampire part in to make it seem interesting, but it would have a good job without it.
The cast and acting was fine, nothing to write big about it was just enough for this movie. The main-leads are adorable to watch.
The music was okay and I might rewatch this movie when I feel bored.
Watch this if you are looking for a lighthearted, easy to follow, cheesy melodrama.
Skip this if you want an action packed, emotional, vampire-hunting movie.
