Soulmate

Soulmate delivers the sweetness and pain of friendship. Kim Da-mi and Jeon So-nee's chemistry makes me feel a strong bond and deep emotions.

The cinematography is very beautiful and warm giving a lot of impression of the good old days in jeju island.

I love the details used in this film such as paintings, earrings, and several other things that really support their story.

The narration is neat with several twists until finally being slapped with a very bitter reality that makes me feel broken, sad, and miss my best friend.

At the end we know why they really deserve to be called "Soulmate".

This movies is based off a book and also there's a Chinese version (original) of this movie released on 2016. Kim Da-Mi is one of my favorite actress despite her excellent performance in every role she does. There's something about her expression that feels so real and connectes so well. The key highlights of this movie is the story and camera play, you will feel the old vibe of Jeju island.

Two best friends very opposite of their personalities becoming really close to each other and doing so the bond they form character they build and a world their create within. We never actually released how impactful someone's presence in our life.

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.

+ 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)

Two friends totally opposite to each other living their dreams differently (actually one is living her parents' dream and the other one is living her friend's dream). The way they depict their characters is just amazing. Freedom is just another word for nothing to lose, that literally hits hard. At the end they live the life totally opposite they lived before. (Spoiler: And the baby is a blessings for her. It gave her the responsibility to settle down.) There's nothing wrong in either living a carefree life or living a settled life. Every life is beautiful till you enjoy it.

The movie is great. The way they protray every single character is just marvelous. The rise and transition of emotion gives me pure joy. It's simple and complex at the same time. It feels like Schrodinger's smiley :): I am happy and sad at the same time.

Why I watch this movie? Well, in my college days, everyone named our duo as SOULMATE (me and my friend-roommate). This is the reason I started watching this movie. We used to share every single moments of our life. We laugh, we cry, we study, we try, we travel altogether. At our brightest moment, we were together. (Well, I'm straight so don't mean it otherwise.) Now we don't talk much, but maybe we still know we'll be there for each other if we need or maybe I'm delusional, ha ha ha.
