My first time writing a review. I felt the need to write a short review because I need to share with mydramalist how I felt about this film, the film that PLAYS with your feelings.
PLOT- It will infuriate you, sadly I read a spoiler of the film unintentionally so I knew what was going to happen and even so, it still meddled with my feelings because the plot is just too damn good. Some agonizing scenes are a little predictable (it's like the directors/producers/actors purposely make it predictable for you to have a heartache though).
Acting/Cast- Definitely satisfied with the acting in this film and would give a firm 10. Yoo Yeon Seok plays Ji Tae (the antagonist) and plays him superbly well and I'm sure I'm not the only one to be aggravated by his character! Song Joong Ki (Chul Soo) and Park Bo Young (Suni) play excellent main roles, presenting a strong bond between the two to the audience (nothing for me was cliche in their acting!). Song Joong Ki's acting was phenomenal- the development was amazing. Not only Chul Soo who developed but definitely Suni.
Music- Definitely well fitting, straight after finishing the film, I youtubed the OST because it's quite relaxing, calming, very K indie. Also you will love 'My Prince' which is sang by Park Bo Young!
Rewatch Value- Personally, it would be unlikely for me to rewatch it because this film annoyed me so much with the plot and I really don't want to feel emotional pain again. If you enjoy emotional pain, crying, whaling; then this film is for you. Seriously it's a beautiful film (especially the ending) but it's painfully beautiful.
Overall- I'll give it a 10 which might sound a little confusing after reading what I've just wrote. As I stated before, it is 'painfully beautiful' and most things that are painfully beautiful are "truly real". It's one of those films where you don't want it to end how it did however you know in reality it would end like how it did which simply gives a bittersweet ending.
This movie really shows that love lingers on even after decades later.
