Snow Is on the Sea

Two strong and determined lovers want to overcome unknown obstacles in their lives together. Story of compassion, fear, love, blessings and tragedy. The two main characters are very good together along with the supporting roles.

What I appreciated alot about this film was it moved away from the rather goofy or Kdrama style genre one associates with Korean film and tv. I enjoy those too, but this was refreshing. It's a about real people and real lives. I really enjoyed the cinematography, it's slow pace and also the chemistry between the characters. The storyline was rather predictable, but the piece sticks with you anyway.

This is probably Park Hae Jin's best performance or the best from what I have seen. It's natural and engaging. It's rather sad he is so often type cast. I believe he probably has a lot more depth than he is allowed to show as an actor. Everyone in this drama did a great performance and I hope to see them again on the screen in the near future.

I must admit, I'm not usually a fan of slow-paced dramas, but "Snow Is On the Sea" had me hooked from start to finish. The chemistry between the two leads is undeniable, and their performances are phenomenal. The cinematography is another standout aspect, perfectly capturing the breathtaking beauty of the mountains and snow. The way the camera frames the landscapes and the characters within them is truly stunning, and it greatly enhances the viewer experience. Despite knowing that Korean films often have tragic endings, I was still emotionally invested in the story and found myself feeling sad for the male lead's fate. The director and team have done an outstanding job in crafting a compelling narrative that explores complex themes and emotions. While the ending was heartbreaking, it was a powerful and thought-provoking conclusion to an otherwise excellent film. I highly recommend it, but be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster!
