Secret: Untold Melody

The Korean remake of Secret: Untold Melody offers a refreshing take on the original version, with a more detailed & emotionally layered ending. The remake strikes a perfect balance between humor & poignant moments, making it both heartwarming & engaging. Kyungsoo's ability to convey deep emotion through subtle eye expressions & his body language while playing the piano is nothing short of mesmerizing. The chemistry between the leass is undeniable. I would give this film a repeat! It's a beautiful tribute to the original, while also giving the remake its own unique visual identity that compliments the heartfelt & intense performance.

The casting was so good! I've watched Kyungsoo, Jinah, and Yeeun on multiple other Korean Dramas so I have expectations on their performance for this movie and they didn't disappoint. The chemistry of the leading cast is also so good that I would love to see them on another movie or series. The storyline and plot was so smooth, there are no dull moments and there is a little bit of comedy to it. It will really hook you up as the movie progresses. The soundtrack and musical scores used are chef's kiss! To be honest, my favourites scenes are when they are playing piano and other musical instruments. Overall, it's not your typical romance film. I really like the twist and ending of this movie!

I watched Secret: Untold Melody this evening!

It was very good, I enjoyed it a lot!! It's a heartwarming romantic movie with beautiful instrumentals in the background. I haven't watched the Taiwanese version, so I have zero expectations. The legendary piano battle has to be my favorite scene! Oh, and the plottwist definitely left me speechless.. I felt excited, shy, shocked, confused, sad, and had a good laugh, too!

Doh Kyungsoo once again amazed me through his acting. He has such expressive eyes to deliver Yoo-Joon's emotions very well plus he plays the piano very skillfully.

I'll definitely go for a rewatch!

I honestly went into this movie thinking it would just be the same as the original, with a different cast. I couldn't have been more wrong! The way the actors portray their characters is so much better - it feels so much more genuine and way less cringey. (Sorry to the OG!) They really bring a sense of naturalness to their roles, and everything just flows perfectly. It never feels overwhelming, which I really appreciated. Another thing I absolutely loved was the ending. This version had such a great twist that I actually preferred it over the original. It felt more satisfying and left me with a big smile. Honestly, it's been a while since I've watched such a good romance movie (especially since I'm not usually a fan of the genre). But this one really surprised me in the best way possible!

Respect to the Original, but the Remake wins for me! <3.

I love how the actors portrayed their characters so well. The plot is so good and the ending is better than the original movie (personal opinion). It's a fun movie to watch for all ages. Doh Kyungsoo is a future of chungmuro for a reason and Won Jinah is a big revelation for me. Ye-eun also did great and it's refreshing to watch her everytime.

There's a lot of difference between the original movie and this adaptation but it won't really make you uncomfortable watching it. All in all, this is a great movie that will make you realize that love transcends time and it's powerful enough to go beyond everything.
