The Lake house is a remake of Il_Mare, it says so in the beginning. I recommend watching that over this. The background is this, there is a lake house with a mailbox, the mailbox transcends time and acts as a portal to both the present and 2 years into the past. Bullock, a doctor, and Keanu, an architect, begin to correspond through the mailbox and thus fall in love.
The story itself is basically the same as Il_Mare, but this movie plays up the romance and down plays the drama. If Il_Mare is an emotional roller-coaster then the Lake House is an emotional merry go round. The connection between the two leads is done fairly well, but Keanu is still Keanu and looks lost at every turn.
I liked drama over romance, maybe you like romance over drama. But I still think if you compare Il_Mare to Lake House, you'll see Il_Mare is far more powerful and thats why I rate this movie a 6, although I'll let it slide that it isn't original, it doesn't stay true to the feel of the original story. It went from something that could have been unique in theaters to just another feel good romance date movie. I give it a 6 just cause the story and filming are sound, I just didn't really appreciate the different feel.

This movie is more than an action flick, it highlights the relationship between North and South Korea. If you know anything about their pasts and their present than you can see why this is a movie by Koreans for Koreans. The actions scenes did not impress me, I saw this movie in 2006...after watching such movies as MI3, but it wasn't too shabby for a non-Hollywood pre-new millenia movie.
Okay so about the movie itself...I don't like the opening, too dramatic and over the top, I was never a fan of Roman decimation and I will never be a fan of this kind of training method. However, once it gets to the actual story then the clues and hints are laid out and you see how everything comes together in the end. You can probably guess the entire ending after some time. The romance is small, about what you expect for an action film. The chemistry is okay. It is really more of a thriller than anything because you're usually puzzled as to how the hero is going to catch the bad guys since he keeps on failing initially.
The actors did a fairly good job. The action sequences are okay, they're shaky at times, I don't like how the South Korean SWAT teams can't hit anything despite perfectly planned traps and outnumbering the bad guys 50:1. Maybe they should get plastic surgery to open their eyes? It was a so-so movie, but because of theme and background I'll put it above the the average, it could be used to do more than simply entertain. It is simply outdated now if you want a really good action film.

So a lot of people have compared this director's work to his previous work My Sassy Girl which came out about 2 years before this one did. There have been many comparisons between this one and that and while there are similar themes in choice of music and themes I would say it is like comparing apples to oranges. MSG was funny and then got dramatic hence it is a romance/comedy with some drama (if anything, i would call Windstruck MSG 2). This one was mostly a dramatic romance story with a few very classical clichés. There is enough foreshadowing that you can guess what is going to happen if you pay any attention at all and have seen any Korean drama, but the director still does an excellent job in telling the story.
The main characters do an excellent job acting and bringing out the character's emotions. The story is beautiful and so is the music. Enjoy it for what it is, if you have a heart at all you'll be teary eyed. You'll know what is coming and you'll still be floored by it, thats how good it is. Even the ending, which I thought was a bit over the top, is the only way you could have ended a classic.
I am a little hesitant to say that this is a date movie, definitely not for a first date. I would think that any emotionally sensitive human being is not going to be particularly happy throughout most of this movie until the very end. Such is a melodrama.
