Soulmate

I rewatched the Chinese version right after finishing this one. In my opinion, this version features more stunning visuals and feels lighter and easier to digest. On the other hand, the Chinese version comes across as more mature, with a darker and more tragic tone. The Chinese version also has a better-composed ending and delivers a more cohesive narrative.

The Chinese version can enhance the viewing experience even after watching this one, as it includes more dialogue and provides additional explanations on how certain actions were carried out.

Character-wise, Miso feels more natural, while Anshen has a childlike selfish vibe. Haeun appears sweeter, whereas July is more dynamic, which helps fill the gaps in the storyline.

+ 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)

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.

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.

Movie is awesome. The story is so real, so deep, that it makes you to wipe out a tear or a few. Great movie about real friendship, deep and meaningful life. It is full of beautiful moments and dissapointments. Its about real emotions, like friendship, love, anger, dedication and lots other. Kim Da Mi was on fire - so good acting. She becomes one of my favorite asian actresses.

Movie is slow paced, step by step leading you till the peak, which is real emotional bomb, exploding your mind within a few astonishing moments. Playfull, emotional, sometimes sad. Some heroe's actions were questionable, but overall - movie is a great choice 👍
