Saranghanda, saranghaji anneunda

I'm not going to talk too much, because don't need to... 6.3 IMDB for this movie is very unfair, because situation is almost perfectly described and every single act or moment is making it's job (kitten, neighbors, rain, sun, TV, food and etc.). so if this situation is familiar for you, you gonna find that description is very close and almost perfect. so for me it's really good worked movie.

An architect (Hyun Bin) is driving his woman (Su-jeong Lim), who is a publisher, to the airport and he tells that he intends to move to her house and his office in her basement to save money; however, she tells that she will leave him since she has met another man.

They are surprised by a storm and they stay trapped in her apartment. They find a cat in a hole in front of the apartment and the man rescues the animal. Soon their neighbors arrive in the apartment seeking for the cat, but the animal is hidden. Meanwhile they prepare dinner together.

"Saranghanda, Saranghaji Anneunda", a.k.a. "Come Rain, Come Shine", is a boring and inconclusive Korean movie about the process of separation of a young couple without kids. The movie is developed in extremely slow pace and does not have soundtrack and goes nowhere, despite the great interpretations of the lead couple. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): Not Available.

I really liked this film and don't understand why its rating isn't higher. Sure, if you like movies full of action this is not for you but if you want a wonderfully shot moody depiction of a pending breakup then you're in for a treat. Hyun Bin is superb as the husband whose quiet response to his wife's infidelity and decision to leave masks a deeply felt palpable sadness. The tension between the two charges the atmosphere with feeling even if little is said to express it. There was a moment when the wife tended a wound on the husband's hand which was so beautiful and delicate in its portrayal of emotion- that alone makes it worth the watch.

As the other reviewer also has stated, this is a very toned down movie. There are no big emotions to be found here. It seems people are holding back what they are feeling. Which makes for a very appealing and compelling (strangely enough) viewing experience. Shot in a very still manner, it almost feels like it doesn't move forward at all sometimes. But you know it does.

I don't know if I am not a bit biased, because I do have a soft spot for Korean cinema anyway (though I do have some quarrels with a few movies), but I really liked this one. The performances match the narrative and the subtle nuances are there to be found. Not to mention that you can interpret a few things into the movie and it doesn't offer any real easy solutions (which again, I kinda like about it)

COME RAIN, COME SHINE (2011)

"Sometimes I should throw things out with no regrets." These are the most striking words for me which Hyun Bin uttered in this film. Made me think that perhaps he saw the break up coming that's why he was so calm and apathetic.

Gray, lonely and raw. The silence between the couple showed that their relationship was already in rough roads. I feel sad that they have no proper communication. I believe this really happens in some couple.

World's most civil breakup ever!

I give it a 3.75/5. Cinematography and script were just ok. I feel the actors(especially the wife) should have shown more body language or details with their eyes or hands to convey certain emotions.

I think the wife was having second thoughts at the end. What do you reckon?
