Chaem-pieon

A heart-warming very well acted and directed movie. The music supports and lifts the emotional flows and action of this film just right, the many comical moments are fortunately not over-acted but very well dosed, the dramatic moments are sincerely touching and although Mark has an introvert "come what may" life-style opposed to Jin-Ki's extravert hustling kind of life-style, the fact that both men's lives are not in balance binds them and secures their friendship.

The only nano bit that might have had more attention is when Soo-Jin learns via a telephone call that her very young children left the house and cruised the big city on their own to go to the arm wrestling match to return Mark's medal. Besides her lukewarm reaction to this, the medal was never discussed with her but she doesn't ask about it.

Ma Dong-seok, Kwon Yul, Yeri Han, director and writer Young-wan Kim and all the other cast and crew members did a great job in making this film for us as this film contributes to happiness in your life.

Always been a fan of Don Lee so gave this movie a try. Quite an enjoyable movie, though it brings nothing new to the genre. Loads of comedic moments with touches of emotional ones. Sadly no cameos from any arm wrestlers I know.

The only people who hate on this are jaded cynics and Americans with tunnel vision who compare it to "Over The Top", as if it were just a cheap knock-off of that. But it clearly isn't. It's more like a hommage that doesn't take itself too seriously. I would describe it as a wholesome, charming, light-hearted comedy with some emotional elements and a bunch of funny characters. If you want some light entertainment, you can definitely give it a watch.

This film stands out as one of the best I've ever seen, blending motivational and inspirational themes with deep social and dramatic elements. Its strength lies not just in its compelling narrative and rich character development, but also in its respectful approach to storytelling. Notably, it maintains a high moral standard by completely avoiding any explicit or unethical scenes, setting a commendable example of how powerful cinema can be when it focuses on uplifting and thought-provoking content. This combination makes it a unique and unforgettable experience that resonates on multiple levels.

I love the story it's simple maa dong acting was just aswome champion movie has become one of my fav movie....
