Started watching this drama because of my favorite Hyun Ju Ni playing the main role (Bada) - and I was amazed because I wan't expecting much from this movie. The plot is quite unusual and the main characters are funny to watch. The whole movie looks like a fairy tale (with fairies, yes) but on the other hand it is quite true-to-life.
I felt some similarities with the movie "Nineteen" (starring T.O.P. and Seungri from Big Bang) - both movies are about three teenagers that meet each other while being in a hard life situations. But the acting in "Sky and Ocean" was much better - there wasn't any disbelief in actor's play (I had the feeling that Haneul was kinda stupid lol).
The music is beautiful - the parts where Haneul plays her violin made me hold my breath. I also in love with Hyun Ju Ni's voice - she is an awesome singer and demonstrate her beautiful voice in the end of the drama as an ending song.
I do recommend this drama if you like good stories with nice actor play!

I don't really like war movies, usually I get sleepy and they seem quite boring to me. 71: Into the Fire was totally different from what I have seen before. Even without any knowledge of Korean history it is simple to watch (I mean there are no long discussions about politics, no fillers just the plot itself). All actors did their best too - there weren't any of "I don't believe in his play" moments. After I turned on this movie I even didn't noticed when it was already over. I will definitely rewatch it!
And my advice for those who haven't seen it - if you like GOOD movies watch it.
P.S. And If you like T.O.P. - DEFINITELY WATCH IT :D He is awesome

That is the most marvelous drama I've seen. Frankly speaking I started watching it only because T.O.P. was in the cast but as soon as I started the plot with it characters just took me in them. Everything was so realistic and I fell in love with ever character, trying to understand the purpose of every action done.
The OST were awesome (I'm a little bit disappointed though, as Hallelujah by Big Bang was played only two or three times).
And you know what? Before watching I heard that IRIS was quite boring and stupid and almost believed it. That is why remember, NEVER JUDGE ANYTHING JUST BY OTHER'S SAYING! It is better to see once than hear a hundred times about it.

Decided to write a review as a person, who understood the movie completely. (Before, I should say that I watched it not with English subs but with subs in my language that were accurate and appeared much earlier).
For me this movie was of one that I call "one-breath movie". Waited for such a long time, as T.O.P fan I wasn't disappointed even a little bit. But I will try to make a review as ordinary viewer.
The story, in fact, is not a unique one. And even though this movie is a thriller I wouldn't consider it as a thriller only. Neither it is the story about war between North and South. I've seen it as a story of one ordinary boy, the same age as me and my peers. An ordinary boy, that would love to enjoy his life to the fullest like a normal teenager. Yet, because of circumstances he has to fight and to kill just to protect his sister and to return to normal life. The other story I got attracted to is of Hye In's life (Myung Hoon's classmate). The problem of bullying in school is highly discussed in Asian countries. Yet, the girl did nothing wrong and just wanted to have friends and to achieve her dreams.
The story of these two lonely souls is somewhat touching but in the end people only discussing action scenes.
Talking about action - Seunghyun did a great job, filming all fighting scenes without the help dubbing actor. If you watch the making of Alumni you can see how hard the filming was, not mentioning that he got a serious injury, yet, continued filming.
Maybe I'm too TOP-stanned but this movie was really perfect for me. You won't see love scenes or some sweet moments but I would strictly recommend it, and It really does worth your time. As for me I will rewatch it until I remember all lines by heart.
