Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

elmerjohn My first time to make a review here. I just register to rate it 10/10 and invite everyone to watch this movie. I've watched several Korean movies this month land i just love how Koreans make a movie that gives an impact emotionally and how they make a wonderful story, not to mention their superb acting. This move is one of the best, it just stirs your emotion and the movie will linger on your thoughts for some time. Love and sacrifice is what it is. When you love someone, you will go into the depths of sacrifices if needed. Highly recommended. You will not regret watching it!

emaenul aah..this is the first Korean movie I've ever seen(will see some other in future)..so to be frank,i didn't liked the trailer or cut scenes at first..the thing that made me interested into it that a remake is about to release of it in bollywood(Do lafzon ki kahani)so watched the movie & i got into it so much that crying(1st it seemed horrible in the trailer) also became overwhelming..so recommending it..good one therea simple love story..the starting plot will attract viewers of course..and soon it thickens..emotional,some comedies,fighting-its just a mashup

romeogbrl After seeing the youth oriented t.v. drama "You're Beautiful", I was quite unprepared by the mature tone of "Always". This is a very engaging Korean melodramatic movie which centers on the characters Chul-Min (So Ji Sub) and Jun Hwa (Hyo Ju Han)and directed by Il Gon Song.As a fan of action movies, I cannot help but compare the characters to a certain Luc Besson film, 1994's "Leon". Chulmin is very similar to Jean Reno's hit-man; both are isolated from society and are either socially inept or total outcasts. While Jun Hwa's blindness is comparable to Natalie Portman's innocence in her portrayal of the 12 year old girl, Matilda. There are even scenes in both movies that convey the same atmosphere or vibe. Leon approaching the exit while stalked by a gun-toting Stansfield played by the brilliant Gary Oldman is comparable to a bloodied Chul-Min lying on the fight room floor. The same melancholic chiming music can be heard in the background as these scenes are transpiring which is remarkable considering the contrasting styles of the respective directors.But unlike Besson's film, "Always", at least has a happy ending for both protagonists.The music score is excellent as well as the cinematography. The cast is also very commendable for their individual performances (including the golden retriever playing "Easy/Zinga").Still, it is not completely without flaws. The film has a middle section that is quite plodding in its pacing when Chul-min and Jun Hwa decide to live together. Fortunately, things once again pick up when a revelation about the cause of Jun Hwa's blindness is revealed.This is a really sad and touching film and the ending will truly move even those with hardened hearts. In a nutshell, this is highly recommended.

Neo Sky I love the movie. I have seen it several times and still like it.The best in the movie is character structure. The characters are well made. They are believable and make sense during their dramatic decisions in loyalty, fight, love and sacrifice.Here are the characters:The guy has a damaged soul resulted to his seclusion from society, deep guilt and feeling worthless because of his dark past and a special crime; his last one. Here is the point that a blind girl comes into his life accidentally. She has many problems in her work, her financial status and even her day-to-day things; however, she is easygoing, spirited and dealing with problems having a smile on his face. She turned on his dark life by music, laugh, deep passion and care for each other. Here is the point that their path revealed. The guy understand how he was engaged in making her blind above all his crimes. He went into huge sacrifice to pay for her eye operation costs. The operation went successful and she paid him back by her loyalty towards him though they lost each other. Actually the boy left her to avoid disturbing her.The story has extreme points a bit unbelievable to me. Like how the boy was the one who distract her from her driving and caused her blindness and her parents death. None of them knew this before meeting each other. Or how she traced him by chance and good guess. Besides from that, I applaud for the way these two characters are developed in the movie. The orphanage, lonely and guilty boy find passion, forgiveness and comfort in arms of a woman with great issues who care about people, animals and life beauties against her serious issues.The acting works well. I felt tears at the end of the movie, when his voice cracked in his chest since he cannot cry due to huge pain he experienced. However, we feel hopeful that he can overcome his problems by being help by his lovable woman. Isn't it inspiring? :) It really inspires you to feel life. And to believe that such pure loves are possible. And you can make it! It is how the magic of a good drama should work; I think.
