When the fireman Kim Ja-hong (Tae-hyun Cha) dies during a rescue operation in a fire in a building, his guardians Kangrim (Jung-woo Ha), Haewonmaek (Ji-hun Ju) and Dukchoon (Hyang-gi Kim) guide him to the afterlife. They explain that they will defend him in seven trials with seven gods in seven hells along forty-nine days to disclose how he spent his life. Ja-hong, who is considered a model citizen, will reincarnate if his guardians are well-succeeded in their defense. However, there are disturbances in the afterlife caused by a Revengeful Spirit and Kangrim goes to the World of the Living to investigate what is happening. Meanwhile the prosecutors find problems in the relationship of Ja-hong and his mother and brother and Haewonmaek and Dukchoon are surprised by the discoveries. Will Ja-hong´s soul be saved?

"Singwa hamgge", a.k.a. "Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds", is a delightful fantasy about reincarnation with funny and melodramatic moments. Jung-woo Ha steals the movie with a great performance but the cast also shines. The top-notch special effects is another attraction. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

What spiked my interest for this movie was this one particular scene I saw on YouTube shorts showing one of the trials and I automatically was like "Yes, this is a must-see." Now here's the problem... I thought this would be like a Dante's Inferno type film or some Squid Game type stuff where the main character has to compete in these different trials against loads of other people and has to beat them bla bla, but what I was given instead, was a hell-court-whatever? And to top it off, a sprinkle of comedy over it.

I do sound a bit harsh, but that is to be expected when one expects something great from a movie but instead gets something... mediocre. But that was the negative. Now to the positive. I thought the comedy aspect they pulled off well. Classic korean humor, I love it. The story was decent for what it was (although they really should've made it more games like) and the actors were great as well. But I really really know this could've been mainstream and huge if it actually followed the recipe I mentioned in the first part of my review. But all in all, pretty fun Korean movie. Visuals were surprisingly good too.

This film tells the story of a firefighter who dies while saving a girl in a fire in a skyscraper. He is led by three grim reapers who guide him through the seven trials in the Afterlife.

The story initially is predictable, as he breezes though the initial trials. Then the film gets increasingly engaging and captivating. The final trials are not predictable anymore, and there is much suspense. The visuals are great, and there is clearly a lot of thought going into the visuals. The ending is very touching, particularly when viewers understand the Oriental culture about filial duties. Lots of tissues were used in the cinema!

I think this whole 7 trial story based on Mahayana Buddisum . i havent much experience about that . but film say for every action we make in this life has consequence in afterlife . that is strong word .

worth to watch at least once in life

The cinematography is amaaazing, it is what made me watch the movie in the first place,, but then got to engage with the plot which was tight, organized and well distributed over the whole two hours of fantasy.

The story is just emotional in all levels , the guy has to pass through the 7 judgments to decide whether he's guilty of sins or not,, but over each one of these heartwarming memories they present they add a sprinkle of light comedy ,, this made the movie look even more appealing.

The cast were all perfect,, it's not the first movie i watch for Tae-hyun Cha ,, i saw him before in Hello Ghost and My Sassy Girl , and he was hilarious,, here they tuned down the comedy to make the character look more miserable and "dead" ;D and of course Jung-woo Ha was amazing too.

Final thought,, the movie is really good,, the screenplay is definitely a 10 and the story leads to a "confirmed" sequel probably coming by the end of this year.. so start watching.

After dying unexpectedly, firefighter Ja-hong is taken in the afterlife by three guardians. There are seven trials he has to go through: Betrayal, Violence, Filial Impiety, Murder, Indolence, Deceit, and Injustice; and proving he lived a noble life will he be able to reincarnate.

When was the last time you watched a movie about Gods and afterlife? Been a while for me, therefore it was nice to watch something that wasn't a crime-drama, an action thriller for a change. This movie was also a visual treat, please watch it on a good screen, hell watch it on your phone if you have to so that you can enjoy the colors.

The movie, at the crux of it, is about how life is shorter than we think, about family, about choice and consequences, sins and redemption, pretty much about living a meaningful life. At least, the movie makes you take a step back and look at how you've lived your life so far, and that's not something we all consciously do regularly.

The movie does get melodramatic but if you're the kind of person who likes 'feel good movies' that make you cry, this would totally be one of those movies.

Throughout the film, it was just an interesting and pleasing picture, with an inherent style of Asian films. But the last part of the film, surprisingly, turned out to be very strong, and directly pulled the overall impression to a higher level. I highly recommend to watch this movie to everyone, including those who usually bypass Asian films.

This movie portrays a series of trials that people must stand in the afterlife to be granted reincarnation, according to Buddhist beliefs. So far, so good. It's an interesting plot, more so if, like me, you don't know much about those beliefs.

What I liked, and I think it should be noted: Emotional scenes are on point. I almost cried several times. It's very touching, even if it is not noticeable at first glance.

What I didn't liked: Bad comedy. And it's not that I don't get the jokes because I'm westerner, they are just not funny. I don't know how to put it, they are jokes a child would make. Plus, they are extremely out of place ("Thor: Ragnarok", if you know what I mean).

I also need to point out that some court scenes are ridiculous.

All in all, it's "watchable". Entertaining, if you have nothing else to do/see. Definitely not more than a 6.

The story is clear and emotional. The CGI is really exciting and Jung-woo Ha did a great performances.The ending makes me want to cry. Great movie.

The CGI can be really mind-blowing at times and some strong performances by the guardians, but what really holds it together is the family drama under the fantasy elements. Definitely worth watching.

I just think the movie is long and boring, way to drawn out. a little bit on the confusing side. and just not interesting enough to really worry about trying to figure out what's going on. I read some people like the choreography, I can understand that, and I think the acting is ok. otherwise, b o r I n g.

I like putting movies into Venn diagrams and I have special categories always swimming in my head like "movies with a great final shot" and "movies that showcase traits I would like in my future partner". Then there is that one category that doesn't have many movies - "movies that can make you reflect upon one's life". Along with The Gods: The Two Worlds slips in there ever so surreptitiously.

I didn't figure the Korean blockbuster to be a tearjerker, but it most certainly was. All through the screening, I could hear people around me sniffling and wiping their tears away unabashedly, me included. The movie doesn't even try to be subtle in this aspect and I must say every rivulet of my tears was earned.

Yet the story is also fashioned as a fast-paced pulsating adventure ride and it scores top marks in this aspect too. My eyes blinked in disbelief and my mind boggled in awe as the twists and turns become wilder and twistier, but never losing its grasp on the audience. This is high concept done well, every far-fetched notion perfectly digestible. There is superb verve in its storytelling. Nothing is truly what it seems.

Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds is a film that is solidly cast. I don't get the Korean names very well, but I watch a lot of Korean cinema and TV dramas and instantly recognised all the familiar faces. Cha Tae Hyun is perfectly cast as the good-natured Paragon with a well of secrets that threaten to derail his chances at reincarnation at every trial. The casting of the 3 grim reapers is also spot-on with differing dynamics that lend propulsion to the story.

There is some amazing world building here, every level of hell is well-rendered and nothing for this reviewer feels repetitive. The CGI work here is top-notch, considering 90% of the movie is probably done to a green screen. IMHO CGI is just a means to an end and the end must always be to serve the story. The story is so strong here that the CGI disappears into the background.

Exposition is always a tricky business in storytelling and Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds is practically all exposition. But the intrigue and suspense build-up through character motivations constantly draws one deeper into the proceedings. My senses hinged closely on the afterlife guardians' explanations at every turn as I got ready for the next trial. Even with the advance preparation the trial still puts me in a tailspin with some shocking revelations. Director Kim Yong Hwa even takes a 2-pronged narrative trek midway with both narrative trajectories dovetailing in the final act effectively.

The story resonates on God levels here. It is a rip-roaring adventure action film, but it also scores as an examination of the complexities of life lived in whatever station you are in. I shuddered in my seat as the end credits ran, wondering if I will see another movie that is as thrilling and heartfelt as this or can I even pass the seven trials right at that moment. Movies should do this - move you and make you want to become a better person. In a year you can count on the fingers of one hand, movies that can perform this feat successfully.

PS - a cameo during the ending threw me into a loop. I only found out later that this is the first of a 2-part epic, the concluding chapter will open in the summer of this year. Oh yeah! I am ready.

The only problem with this movie is it's length. Two hours counting is way too much. Kind of got a bit tiring after a while. The special effects were a problem at the begining, but they got really better after a while. The performances were good as well and the story was touching and emotionaly, especially the brother's story. The guy was a bit too much of a mama's boy, but it wasn't that big of a deal breaker. The action scenes and the costumes, finally were good as well. Lastly, my fav actor, Kyungsoo did well and had good drama scenes. So, 7 out of 10.

I rarely cry while watching a movie but this one is really amazing. It made me cry two times or maybe more, in the middle and at the end of film, it also taught me a lot and I have to review my lifestyle after watching this film, about the truth, betrayal, deception. Such things I should be away in my life. Furthermore, the most important thing should be respect for our parents, who always love us and give us everything without taking back. Lots of tissues were used in the cinema (copy from the last reviews)

The cgi is great , the main actors are great (especially the ending part), the story line is great. the only problem is the length of the movie. there is no climax (for me) to thrill the viewers so i got bored watching this.. and i got really annoyed with the part were this one character want to say something and the guardian have to repeat what he say. i think this is great as a series,,

The film focuses on the inner story and the scenery of the protagonist who is transformed through seven trials. When a moment supports the ordinary character, at a certain moment, audiences put themsleves on the life of each person. As a result, this vast fantasy that transcends the boundaries of life and death between the world and hell, takes a leap into the tectonics of human life and death, the meaning of life and death, and the value of a given life.

I watched this movie with very litttle expectations but I swear I ended it with crying.At some time it was one of my most favourite movies

Screenplay is great, really, the way it unfolds. Performances are also good. Watch it, I bet it'll be worth your time.

I love South Korean crime movies because they are over-the-top nuts. So, apparently, are South Korean fantasy/scifi movies because, Holy Hannah, this one is nuts. A South Korean firefighter dies on duty and must undergo a series of trials before he is allowed to reincarnate. Man, Buddhism is tough. And complicated. I thought my (WARNING! Shameless self-promotion ahead!) Ship to Look For God trilogy set in Heaven was complicated but this one wins. It's a bit tough figuring out who's who and what's doing what to what but worth it. The CGI and swordplay alone make it worth it.

This film has great story line which is the emotional connection between main character and his family.In addition, It contains strong feeling to touch audience's heart from every character.I look forward to seeing the next episode on this summer.After movie,I suddenly realized that we should treasure relative and friendship,do something want to do before too late.

A good sci-fi Korean entertainment. A pleasure to see Tae-Hyun Cha almost 20 years after the great romance "My Sassy Girl".

Couldn't get to the halfway point. bunch of madness. terrible. the opening scene got me excited. that lasted for about 10 seconds (1 viewing)
