Friendship is the only factor where you can understand others .one of my fav movie it becomes as the character they played wow its amazing acting is good but the story is so amazing we want this type of people in life who can be with us in every situation even after fight we will be their top priority I am in love with this dramas dialogue "if obsession is not love , then u have never been loved ". Love comes in many forms u don't need romanticized every relationship friendship, parents love , siblings they all love in their own way. So sometime it hurts to leave the person whom you spend time enjoyed thr youth but yeah u sure can live with memories.
The chemistry, the way of the two main actors develop and present their characters, the set, the plot twist, and of course the message they want to spread are so deep and cool! I cried and laughed while watching this, and I was drowning and carried away by the story and acting.
- This is NOT a romance that you can usually find in the romance movie, BUT you can definitely enjoy the learning process from the story
- This movie shows us the point of view from discredited people, so there will be some heartbreaking scene that i personally think for those common people that usually tend to be ignorant should be more aware and embrace more
- love is about peace, you can learn here.
Truly enjoyed it, it left a raw message. Still, it had a light-hearted feeling to it. It enjoyed the focus on the friendship and their growth over the sub plot of romantic attachment, just as it was about their friendship and them trying to find themselves was truly impactful. More so the acting was fabulous.
I really appreciate how much heart and thought went into this wonderful story between these two kindred individuals. They lived through so much time during college and after college and stayed together as best of friends. I don't think I could ask for anything more from such a wonderful Korean romantic drama. I really appreciated the inter play between the characters and all the ups and downs they shared. I wish there were more romantic comedies that were brought to the US market that were as good as this film. The backdrop of Seoul Korea really added to the film. I look forward to seeing this on blu-ray when it is released for the US market.
The pacing of the film relatively smoother and natural, and isn't as dramatic unlike the drama. I'm not sure which is more more truer to the book as I haven't read it yet. The nuances between the protagonist and her friend is more developed here and is the major focus on the film, and the film very mildly and conveniently addresses the struggles of the gay community.
The film is still thoroughly enjoyable overall but lacks the emotional impact and rawness that was portrayed in the drama version. Many dialogues mute the protagonists voice and we fail to understand what is going on his head with all the situations around. Would very much recommend the drama over the film, but do give it a shot once you are done with the emotional turmoil the drama variant hit you with to tone down trauma!
The ML did show some reservations though at times in his portrayal of a gay character, or maybe it's the dedication of Nam-Soo-Hyun in the drama version which is speaking, but nevermind I just wished to address it. Would've liked if the core focus of the book had been more impactfully addressed.
