This movie was a lot of fun to watch...

When I first read the summary for it I went in thinking Blue Salt was going to be this big gritty action extravaganza. Yeah well this movie was the total opposite! Yes there's guns and gangsters fighting but the story was more based on human emotion. I didnt really like the romance in this cause to me it felt more like an attachment/friendship. The ending was predictable and unpredictable at the same time.

The acting by SSK was really really good! I hardly recognized her from her High Kick series. The main gangster guy was a good actor but i didnt really feel the chemistry with SSK's character. It was nice seeing quite a few actors who are known more for their drama roles.

Overall this movie was good but it was missing something to make it stand out for me.

A very quiet movie, you have to pay attention to the small routines and gestures of the characters to catch everything. Don't watch if you're expecting a lot of physical contact, but it you don't mind some slower-paced anticipation of passion, this film will deliever. Very well acted. The quiet nature of the apartment setting becomes its own character, in a way.

Hilarious, but in such a subtle way! This is a film where no supporting role is wasted--even though you root for the main couple, they're not the entire focus, and not what you watch the movie for. It's a story of making quick friends in a short amount of time, but through a night that's so full, it feels as if a month has gone by. It's sort of reminiscent of a long dream that feels like such an adventure, but you've only slept a few hours.

Unique perspective of a sweet story that keeps the integrity of the book. Beautiful cinematography with cute quirks (think, Amelie or Pushing Daisies) that don't feel gimmick-y. At first I thought this was just a cute film, but since watching it last year, it's resonated with me and has become a top-ten favorite. It makes you remember what it's like to be in middle school, and how vulnerable an age that is. Quite beautiful, though yes, I wish it were longer!

This was such a deep drama.It really makes you think about the bad things that happens in this world.The acting was great and it made me cry many times.I sugest you watch it if you have the mood of something sad and serious,not a romancom.Keiko did her role very well and she made me believe in how much suffer have to endure the people who have cancer and how others judge for the looks not the inside.

Blue Salt/Hindsight portrays people who are searching for happiness. For this longing to be felt by the viewers, I believe that this has become a great movie. I admire the relationship between the two main characters especially their lack of words yet total understanding of each other. The actors are really into their characters, even the supporting actors were commendable. The pace is neither fast or slow, but just right to get indulge to the flow of the story. It is also refreshing to see a "gangster" movie with less action and more feelings.

I love the story of this drama. I have already seen the anime and read the manga and I thought the drama was pretty good too. The acting was pretty good too and the music was nice. I would not rewatch it because I do not like to rewatch this type of movie even though I liked it.

This movie basically sucks, lol. But it's sucks in a "cult classic" sort of way. There really isn't a plot or much of a story line, it's over the top, the acting is OK, and there's barely any music. Despite all of that, it's actually entertaining. It's violent, but not extremely gory (there's some blood). It's definitely strange and not for everyone.

This movie was "nice" as in it was like a cute movie where the viewer like what they saw but is not satisfied. I liked the story and acting was awesome with Eugene and Dong Wook. I do not tend to rewatch this type of movie it is more of a one time thing where I feel like watching this type of movie. I feel many people will like it since it has a sort of heart warming story and involves a little mystery.

I like the plot of this movie but I did not like the acting of the actors. There was a missing element. I feel the story had much potential but was ruined with the acting and bad selection of music. I would not rewatch this movie because I was hardly able to see it once and don't think I could do it again. I still think the movie was cute but yeah there was a lack in acting talent.

This movie was actually good. The story was pretty awesome and the acting was good too the actors delivered their roles very strongly the suspensful and mysterious music was able to tie in to the movie. I would probably rewatch the movie because I would like to better understand it and just because it was pretty awesome. If you watch this movie you will not be disappointed the ending is just pure genius.

I watched this movie with my friend and sister and we came to agree that the trailer was misleading. We saw the trailer for this movie and thought it would be awesome and when we finally saw it it seemed to be more suspense than horror. We had to wait a long time for the action to start. The actors did a very good job with the crappy story and ridiculous excuse for horror. I would never watch this movie again. I think the only reason we finished the movie was because we had invested so much time into it that it was too late to stop. I am not saying do not watch it but if you don't watch it you will live. It is not worth watching in my opinion but if you want find out for yourself and don't say I didn't warn you!

This movie is about a thirty something radio host who finds out he has a 22 year old daughter who has a young son. To avoid a scandal he keeps his new found daughter and grandson a secret. Things become complicated when he is spotted with his daughter who is believed to be his much younger girlfriend.

I absolutely fell in love with this movie. It is both funny and serious. This movie gave me an overall feeling of joy after watching it. The story was original and the music was great. This a great movie to watch and re-watch.

This drama is about a 20 year old woman with the mental capacity of a 7 year old. She ends up bumping into a guy who she falls in love with and thinks is her prince charming. The guy thinks she is cute and in the beginning fails to notice that she is mentally slow.

This story is very original with the main characters' relationship as only a part of the much bigger story. First and foremost it's a coming of age drama about a woman who is a self proclaim late bloomer.

This movie is great to watch and I highly recommend it if someone wants to watch a good story without devoting hours to a long drama. Overall I give this movie an 8 and I will defiantly re-watch.

I was a little hesitant to watch it at first, because when I read the summary i thought it would have a really cheap and shallow plot, oh boy was I wrong.
I got a bit confused at first, but then everything became clear as it went on, with a cleary good acting, it really deserves to be re-watched.
It's really good and captivating
The characters are really well chosen, and the landscapes and places are really beautifull.
The soundtrack was pretty but could have been better in a way.
As expected from this kind of movie, it has a sad and glommy moment, you'll probably see yourself crying in some parts, but of course there's always some cosy moments that warm your heart.
