    If you like slow dance - you will love the movie

    I found the movie to slow for my taste. But I should admit that this movie is an interesting movie. With a fort and back story line, little dialogs, and beautiful dance, the movie is worth to watch.

    It has some memorable scene and dialog and I still have it in my mind for some time, which indicates that the movie was able to bring a lot of my attention.

    There is another movie in the same genre entitled Billy Elliot, and in my opinion Billy Elliot provide much more interesting storyline and ending. But some aspects in the movie are totally different so we can not really compare the two of them.

    Anyway, the movie is worth to watch. If you like a slow dance, you will love this movie.

    Very touching Asian film

    I went to the sneak peaks screening of this film on the weekend at the cathay. I can't believe the Korean scenes were filmed in Singapore. I have been to Korean villages just like the one in the film, very authentic, well done, also the Korean family scenes are exactly the way I experienced it, most Singaporeans may not have seen these villages in Korea, the film is spot on!.. Jang Hyuk in this film gives his best performance to date, very different from the tough rolls in his series. Fann looks beautiful and I cried in two of her scenes. Jason Scott Lee is looking great and his performance is both touching and rewarding. well worth seeing this film!!!!!

    Moving and profound

    This movie cannot be appreciated by those of a superficial nature. It is a profound drama with tales of romance and passion. Most of the show consists of scenes with the main characters in deep thought, leaving much of these thoughts to the viewer's imagination. In line with the typical Korean drama, this show may seem slow-moving but in actual fact is rich in emotions which one must delve deep into to understand. The three main actors have put on stunning performances, with Fann Wong still looking fabulous at her age. Her part as an ex-champion and dance instructor comes across most aptly through the pain one can notice in her eyes. Jang Hyuk does a very convincing portrayal of Tae, with his deep passion for dance able to successfully strike a chord in viewers. The soundtrack for the final scene was very appropriately selected, with fitting and moving lyrics. Beautiful cinematography. Good art-house fare.

    Good film

    Dance of the Dragon is a beautifully-shot film with great performances especially from the leads, Jang Hyuk, Fann Wong and Jason Scott Lee. The story could have been more tightly edited, and more realistic locales could have been used, but generally the film is lensed well with strong characterization. Dialogue bordered on the cheesy/hokey at times though - it could be improved. The soundtrack bordered on the dramatic and could have been rendered more subtly. But generally, what blew me away was the strength of the film through the performances of the cast. They raised the film to a level unprecedented for an international cast and crew. Jang and Fann should see success if this film travels.

    Jang Hyuk is great

    This film is probably Jang Hyuk's best film to date, his acting is subtle and effective... and he looks hot!!. I really enjoyed the story very original idea and the shots are really nicely done. I really loved the music especially, and I love the end song Hero.. I have also loved Jason scott lee for years great to see him back on the big screen... he is a very talented actor. The Korean Scenes are also very realistic ... the family scenes are very believable. The costumes are very well designed specially the final ballroom dance scene. Fann wong is a really accomplished actress in this film... I had seen her in many local films but this is the best so far....this film is both happy and sad ... loved it!
