1-The reason i watched this : i was so bored then i found this movie so i decided to watch it in a try to cheer up but i end up getting even more bored, i was mostly attracted by the numerous stories .

2-Storyline/Plot : At first i thought that the story of the movie is going to make me love it since it have 5 diffrent love stories in summer but i was wrong i end up hating it, i usually fall for movies with numerous stories but this movie's story wasn't that good it was fair not the kind of story that will grasp your attention from the first moment.

3-Acting/Cast : the only strength point in this movie; it got some great actors that knows how to deliver feelings.

4-Music : i don't actually remember it so it got to be that bad.

5-Rewatch value : i couldn't stand watching it once and kept skipping some parts how about rewatching it i must be crazy if i do so.

6-The ending : the kind of ending that everyone want to see, i was expecting it anyway so there isn't much to tell about it because i hate it when i expect the ending and it turn out to be the same as my expectations. I was hoping that they will surprise me or something yet what i was anticipating actually happened.

7-Overall : i won't say watch it or not because that's up to you but if you're bored and looking for a movie to cheer up please avoid this movie, i really regret wasting my time on; it so not worth watching.

1-The reason i watched this : i was randomly going through Tv channels and i accidently found it, at first i wasn't interested then i just couldn't get my eyes off the screen.

2-Storyline/Plot : Totally loved it, i mean there were an unusual story; it's true that it's a historical-action story but it got a lot of twists, feelings of love, hate, betrayel, injustice and many other things that keep you hooked up for the hole time and what i mostly loved about the storyline that it got a lot of versions for the same story; just so creative in my point of view.

3-Acting/Cast : I liked it somehow and of course Jet Li being the lead male is the strength point that made me watch this; i just love his acting even others were cool, not bad i guess.

4-Music : the normal historical music that you find in chinese movies.

5-Rewatch value : I guess it won't be that good to rewatch it since you already know all the important twists that made this movie intresting.

6-The ending : Didn't like it but didn't hate it either, i just kept watching silently without any reaction, i guess i was expecting that kind of end from the moment i started to watch the movie.

7-Overall : A nice movie that deserve to be watched specially if you're action-romance-historical fan. I have no regrets even though it wasn't Jet Li's best movie but like i said it worth watching.

A story of young love between two boys. Bittersweet, funny, exciting, tragic, dramatic. Very light and very entertaining. Both boys are incredibly handsome and the challenges they face because of their 'forbidden' love makes for an exciting movie.
The film is not for everyone, and it requires an open mind to really appreciate what the boys have to go through - the negativity of their fellow schoolmates and the difficulty of having to deal with their own emotions. The pacing is soothing and quite cozy. It enables the viewers to get into the emotional roller coaster of what's in store for the lovers.
Highly recommended to those who believe that love knows no boundaries.

I watched this movie years ago but I still remember its events clearly.
I was mostly attracted by the story : there was Action combined with romance (which is one of the favorite genres that I like to watch).
The story was like a moving painting with all the bright and dark sides of it just like other chinese Fantasy-Wuxia films that manages to keep you interested especially when there are fighting scenes on the screen.
The ending wasn't what we all want it to be but it's sort of expected for this genre of film.
If you're action-romance lover then this film's for you.

Just saw this movie through those recs that I have read. Well, as a viewer and a Kdrama-movie addict, I got curious and told myself "why not give it a try." Aside from the recs I read, I also learned that this movie(recent movie as rated) is on the number 3 spot. I just got more curious about it. So I scrolled my mouse looked for it to watch. As I was watching it, I was already hooked with the little girl's acting skills,(cried most of the time because of her). She really did a superb acting,just so natural. Also credits to Won Bin, I thought he was so effortless when he cried and act just like a pawnshop owner who was a former agent. That's why I gave the cast a perfect 10! Next is the story, well, I really thought that it was unique combined with action, love and friendship. It was my first time to watch this kind of movie so I was impressed a lot! I only gave 8 to the music coz to tell you honestly I forgot already the OSTs maybe they weren't remarkable. Next is the rewatch value, I can't be able to watch it again coz of too much torturing scenes and unlikeable scenes (which are totally gross). And I suggest you,viewers, to watch this movie coz it's a tearjerking one and inspirational at the same time.

This movie is simply amazing.The story is full of love within the family which is heartwarming and can move anyone in tears.After I read the "coming back to life"concept of the movie.I said"Nothing new" ,"I know what will happen" but turned out wrong.The story is really different and has it's unique story that unpredictable. The three main casts did an outstanding performance that makes the movie more special.Though you might find the movie a little slow,I think it just help you feel the emotions and makes you go deeper into the story.The music is also good and makes the movie more beautiful and heartbreaking.The Ending is really awesome and not disappointing.It explains and answers all the mysteries and questions while leaving the audiences in a emotional state.Overall this movie is not a waste of time and REALLY worth watching.

If you have nothing better to do and just want to see hilarious action packed movie, this could be a choice x)

good movie with hilarious scenes!
the movie supposed to be a comedy (meaning that you should be laughing for most of the times) but for me, i did not feel that... maybe due to the fact that the movie was produced in 1999, the humor now has changed in some ways so some scene were not hilarious for me (but for everyone is different)
but for most of the times you could still giggle away :)

The movie is great representation of the society that has let down its people- school that let down/abandoned its student, parents that let down/abandoned their children. Each character has its own unique problem that can be found throughout the society nowadays (and in those times). It's a good representation of what can happen in someone's life.

The plot is quite nice as well.
The characters are well represented and the way they spend their time is hilarious (their actions come out of their character, they act receptively to their character' image) :)

for the first 10 mins of the movie, the acting was really not that captivating and good...really thought they were amateurs not real actors
but later on it really does get better, the acting really does change
throughout the movie you can also see some major stars of nowadays like Kim Suro (mr. Idol, God of study), Lee won jong (vampire prosecutor, wild romance etc etc), park young kyu, etc.

I had my hopes up, but they weren't fulfilled.
May be because I'm not into so serious stories.
It was fine, but too serious. I didn't cry, I didn't laugh. Only smiled at the end.
Fortunately, the end came out better than I thought I would be. I srated to unlike the strory as I found out who he really was. (On the other hand, if he hadn't been who he was, the movie would have lost it's main point I guess) But they drew out the ending just fine.
I loved those scenes in nature and I liked the music.
The main male actor was cute and I love his voice.
I think, that I start liking that movie more as I have closely felt the pain as I lose someone close. As I haven't yet, this story didn't touch my heart as much as someone else's, I guess.
Anyways, if you feel like you need to watch a serious move about losing someone (with an happy ending though), this is just for you. :)

What would you feel like if you're a single man living a wealthy bacelor's life, having a great reputation along with a famous name but one day a 22 years old girl shows up at your door telling you she's your daughter and bringing her child along? well, if you want the answer you need to watch this film :p
This film deals with family relationships, how they resolve their problems and their misfortune, how to hide their abnormals from the media and outsiders but most of all, it was about how to protect each other in front of many obstacles while following their dreams.
A three generations relationship with the most unusual story is what made me watch this and unexpectedly liking it.
You may want to give it a try as well.

the story is about the typical cop(who has some mental breakdown through the movie...it was weird, his character was, sometimes he went senile...*.*) chasing with enthusiasm after the bad guy, both character knowing how the other's mind works

Overall the movie was quite interesting and enjoyable. It reminded me of the typical cop and robber movies but there were some twists and turns that i would have not expected, but some parts of the plot you could easily guess
The ending was quite a surprise as well in some ways (there were hints about what would happen but the overall ending i would not have guessed)

To sum it up- good movie, with great acting (and if you are a fan of Cha Seung won, u will enjoy it even more i guess XP), the music wasn't bad it just that it did not really catch my attention (not that powerful, i would say)
