in the past week, i watched two korean movies. both were SO korean. SO KOREAN!
lover's concerto this was recommended by shauna, but she has yet to see it. the lead guy is the male lead from my sassy girl, in case anyone cares. i don't want to say too much (i'm not going to link to a synopsis, because the wikipedia gives WAY TOO MUCH information), however: this was one of those movies that is supposed to have twists and surprises, but it is sooooo korean (to the point it's like parodying itself, seriously), so i could usually guess what the twist was before it happened. and then the other thing i have to say is: melodrama melodrama melodrama!
love, so divine this is also sooooo korean! but in a romantic comedy type of way. this movie was purely enjoyable. kwon sang woo (i first saw him in stairway to heaven and immediately took notice of him, but i think many people know him as the male lead from my tutor friend. he's my second favorite korean actor, right behind gong yoo!) plays a priest-to-be that ends up falling in love with a girl (surprise, surprise). anyway, the movie isn't a major work of art, but his character is totally precious. a very well done very normal movie with a totally cute/precious character. o! also, lee sun gyun (the cool/cute cousin who almost stole the show in coffee prince) has a cameo in the movie (it's easy to miss, look out for him eating cotton candy!). definitely worth watching (and rewatching).
