Soulmeiteu

Soulmate is such a beautiful take on friendship and what it truly means to have a soul mate. I cried a lot watching this movie just because it was so beautiful. Kim Da Mi is a brilliant actress and this role solidifies her ability to take on anything but who stood out for me was Jeon so Nee, her quiet charm, the ease of her gentleness on screen captures the role she plays just too well.

A well-directed movie, the merge between past and present never left you confused and even the cliffhanger parts were played out correctly too, Give it a watch if you've seen "Beaches" or you just want to watch something that will stir you up.

+ Highlights of the movie:

• One of the beautiful movie (Vibrant colors and realistic footage of Korea)
• Unique and harmonious filming angle

+ The worst of this movie:

• The acting of the actors is incomplete (can't highlight the character's personality like the original book)
• Character building and situations that can be confusing (hard to follow)
• The created world revolves around the main characters is empty
• The film does not intertwine well the past and the present

Overall I recommend for those who want to enjoy an entertainment movie and do not focus on details and acting If you interesting in the story plot, i recommend you should check on the original book or movie (Soulmate 2016 - a Chinese version)

What happens when 2 friends start living apart in their own life full of struggles and hardships, with a lot of dreams and ambitions to be fulfilled. Soulmate manages to tell the story of this friendship that changes or develops the characters over the course of their lives. The beautiful chemistry of a great bond is elegantly displayed by Kim Da Mi and Jeon So Nee.

In essence, the film focuses on the story of the characters' personal journeys and transition from adolescence to adulthood. The movie captures beautiful stills of Jeju Island and the nostalgic BGM makes it more pleasant to watch.

My Rating : 7/10.

The soulmates in the title Ahn Mi-so (Kim Da-mi) and Go Ha-eun(Jeon So-nee) who meet at the age of eleven and immediately hit it off. One is outgoing and brash and the other thoughtful and reserved but together they bring each other comfort and strength. All is going well until a boy is added to the mix and they become estranged. The movie follows their lives for sixteen years and no matter how far they drift apart they each have a constant longing for the comfort they have in each others company. It is a very well acted movie and the pacing is slow and thoughtful and draws you into the everlasting friendship of the two leads even though at times it seems broken.

I haven't read the book nor watched the original movie yet. I plan on doing it now tho.

Well, I understand why some people won't say It's a perfect movie or anything like that but tbh I just felt so much while watching that I can't put It straightly in words.

Soulmate brings you a narrative about friendship and love in a different view. I think thay If you pay attention to the smallest phrases and moments you'll get just how deep some people can be in other's life and how human relationships are way more complex to understand.

I just couldn't help but cry over and over as I felt so much in which piece of this. I kept thinking just how can we live hoping that dreams and thoughts hold us to the very end. The narrative made me go back in all the thoughts about giving up or not wanting to keep going but you just feel, you can't say this movie hasn't make you hope to understand a truly relation and real feelings.

It was just too hard to not hold in the perspective of how empty the life can be while watching. I highly recommend this movie.
