U-ri Yeong-hwa

I don't follow the male/female leads that much but I enjoy a good KDrama. When I was watching the 1st episode I noticed the male lead looked familiar and Yes he starred in My Dearest. In my opinion is one of the best in years. Although you will see the same gestures or acting from him but the character suits him perfectly. I love the pacing (slow yet you can listen to them talk - I recommend My Liberation Notes). The lines are no nonsense. Fun, witty, and with flavours. The camera work is peak too. The ending part absolutely blew me away and I finally gave in to the tears. You will have an idea of ending (that's the whole plot of the movie) but you won't guess the "how" it will end. Which in my opinion is how this wonderful piece excells. The acting on all their casts are on point. They behave just how they should be and no going off their characters for no reason (as most series do). You will be in for waves of emotion. A ceritified tearjerker. Don't sleep on this.

I have always knew that I love to hurt my self, and that's why I decided to watch this series.

This series will crash me, that's what thought. But little did I know every single episodes already prepared me for the worst. So when it's finally happened, I'm not fine of course, but in the same time, I am.

I'm into slow burn but I also understand if people say it's too slow and got bored at some point. Honestly, it could've been a lovely 6 episodes mini series. I bet it'd be more popular than it is now. But again for me it's fine, it was a fine watch. Worth every second and every tears. The acting was great, chemistry could be better tho.

This lovely, sweet, sensitive, and haunting drama, Our Movie, available to watch on Disney+ / Hulu with excellent English subtitles, reminds me in many ways of the classic romantic Korean dramas I first watched twenty+ years ago when I became a fan. Now over 1400 of them later I am still thrilled when I find a special gem like this one, that gives me the same feelings I experienced way back then when I watched unforgettable classics like Winter Sonata for the first time. Even the way Nam Goong Min, our leading man, is dressed in Our Movie reminds me of Bae Yong Joon in that drama. I have savored every moment of this drama and even marveled at how poetic the first kiss scene was! South Korea continues to make the very best television series in the world.

Our Movie is a well-produced drama that excells in emotional impact. Its exceptionally sad, but it achieves that beautifully with its cinematography and complex character development.

It's still very much a "K-drama", but it takes itself seriously enough to make a meaningful impact on the viewer given the nature of its story. The leads are excellent in this series, but so are the supporting characters. It seems everyone has some amount of character development - something you don't always see.

If I had to pick one thing that could be improved, its probably the soundtrack. At times I feel it leans too heavily on string instrumentation to evoke emotions when simple piano or silence would have a stronger effect, especially given the talented performance of the actors.

The lines below are printed in the book shop from White Love and I would say a poem fit for Daeum:

I should have been born the sea, moonlight ripples endlessly across the ocean's surface, is it the night? The tide, my heart? I keep wavering, like today everyday were filled with only what i love, with things like you, the moonlight and the sea.
