Reviews

I have never given 10 points to any drama or movie. This movie, for me, was absolutely outstanding! Acting was great. I'm a fan of Hiro Mizushima, so I was in heaven.

Music- I think I started be interested in jrock because of this movie. Very beautiful music. And I think It's good that we can't hear koyuki's voice while singing. As we imagine it should be something amazing but If we could hear it not everyone would be satisfied. So in my opinion it's great idea to remove his voice.

Plot is wonderful - unusual, unique, with deep message.
Why did I judge rewatch value on 9 ? - because I never watch one movie two times. But after this movie...who knows. ;)

Summarizing : FOR ME, this movie is PHENOMENAL. I ABSOLUTELLY RECOMMEND. If you want to know what am I talking about, just watch it yourself. ASAP.

thank you for reading my personal opinion ^_-

The closing chapter in the Vengeance Trilogy.

Though it’s far less bloody than the first two, Park Chan Wook’s Sympathy for Lady Vengeance should be held in just as high regard. It outclasses Tarantino’s Kill Bill as a revenge story with far deeper turmoil.

Filmed in an almost grotesque fairytale manner, it is about the struggle between a saintly pale faced damsel in distress and a cunning witch donned in red eye make-up and classy heels. Stranger yet, is that both characters are one and the same - Ms Geum Ja (Lee Young-Ae) who seeks vengeance for crimes committed against her.

This film has the right blend of humour, love, family elements yet maintains an incredibly intense dark tone throughout. The surreal shots, the use of music and the progression of the story are nearly flawless.

I would happily use the words 'compelling' 'heart wrenching' and 'beautiful' to describe Park Chan Wook’s Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. However, to this description you must also add 'chilling' and 'horrifically sinister' to fully appreciate the depth and complexity of this film. Lady Vengeance provides the audiences with intense off-camera violence and in this film it is the aftermath of the violence that is most effective. It’s not the violence that bothers the viewer but the situation in which it arises.

This offering by this amazing director is not for those who can only stomach physical brutality but that of the emotional type, thus making opinions surrounding this film as divisive as its predecessors. Like most pieces of art, it really depends on one’s taste. But one thing is for sure; whether you’re swayed by the deeper emotional content or the hard to ignore visual elements, there is at least one thing you’ll love about this film.

Or if not, you won’t be able to forget it for a variety of reasons.

The great director, Kim Jee-won does every genre he takes on justice. As expected, acting-veteran Choi Min-shik easily turns stomachs with his darkest performance since his Sympathy for Lady Vengeance role.


This movie should have been a typical take on revenge executed in a typical 'cat and mouse chase' fashion and cushioned with a tons of gore and sexual violence.

HOWEVER!

It managed to be SOOO much more than that. Surprisingly deep and every act of violence has a purpose and a consequence. A story ultimately about how pain and grief can push one to the edge of humanity. Lee Byung-hyun makes us weep for him and not because of what he lost...but what he is willing to forsake just to get even.

Stellar cast, incredibly well plotted and an ending that stirs your soul.

Who knew that a small incident would lead these two lovable characters into a journey which changes both their lives for the better.

Story:
I L.O.V.E.D the girl. She's so tough, I mean the way she acts. Though there's a deep sadness within her, she tries to hide it with a cheery smile that does not fool our dear Gyeon Woo. It's also different from what I ever watched and I enjoyed it a lot! Seriously I never laughed so hard. There were particular scenes that cracked me up, there's this one where honestly I couldn't breathe because I was laughing so hard.

Acting:
*Nods head and smile* It is flawless. It's like Cha Tae Hyun and Jun Ji Hyun were made to play the lead roles in this movie. I loved Gyeon Woo's mother, always hitting him. In saying that all the girls in his life are always hitting him, poor thing. Jun Ji Hyun plays 'The Sassy Girl' (I just realised that he never referenced her name O.O). She played the abusive, easily drunk, tough, cute, delicate, gorgeous girl. I need to watch more movies with her in it.

Music:
Is it just me or Director Yann Samuell really really loves Canon D Majoy by Pachelbel. I watched his other movie called 'Classic' and the same instrumental piece was played throughout the movie. I'm not complaining, it's more like an observation.

Rewatch:
I sure as hell would rewatch this. It's soo funny,

Overall:
I LOVED IT. I know why people keep telling me to watch the movie. Everything made sense at the end and this movie really made me believe in DESTINY ~

The story:
It was cliche that's for sure. But I'm one of those people who don't mind the cliche (as long as its not TOO predictable). The storyline was confusing for some parts and whoever did the editing for me did a good job. I could tell that they were going back and forth from the past to the present.

The acting:
Every character did a fairly decent job of acting, well maybe not Jo In Sung. The guy is just a brick wall. I mean seriously buddy you need MORE EMOTION, MORE FEEL but he is kind of pleasing towards the eye, so I guess it kind of ok? XD
For me, Son Ye Jin stole the limelight. She bloody well deserves a 10/10 for her acting. Ye Jin ssi had to act as two characters, Joo Hee and Ji Hae and she did a FANTASTIC job of it. When she cried her heart out, I cried along with her. TT____TT

The Music:
As soon as I heard, Canon D Major by Pachelbel. I knew that I wouldn't be hating on the music used through the movie. I mean who the hell on this earth doesn't love that instrumental masterpiece.

Rewatch Value:
It's not a movie that I would watch again in the near future but I may.

Overall:
It is not the best movie I ever seen but it was worth my time watching.

The story is what caught my interest, since it's truly unique, but the way it unfolded left me a bit disappointed. Such a scenario had a great potential but it left some parts unexplored. They could have expanded on many scenes and cut short some others. I found it boring at times. But it had its bits of comedy too. Far less than I expected though. Overall however, the best word to describe this movie is 'weird'. It indeed has a big dose of weirdness in it. It's based on a rather tragic plot, so naturally it will have weirdness and depressive, meaningful moments, especially if you can relate to the characters' feelings.
The ending was fine to me. It fit with the movie's style perfectly.

I recommend this to anyone who wants to see something different. But expect something VERY different from most Asian movies.

First, I have to say that my being in my late 30s may be the reason why I didn’t enjoy this movie. The story is immature. Are they kindergartners??? I get why the Eun Seong is juvenile in his behavior. He has a lot of baggage dealing with family and friends and never learned how to love. However, Ye Won was just very immature for a high school girl. The path they travel is interesting and there are a few tropes that I have not seen in other Korean dramas, but for the most part I have seen this movie before and it was done better. The acting wasn’t horrible considering what they had to work with. The music sucked. I won’t be rewatching it.

I found out after watching this drama that Jeong Da Bin had committed suicide. It is very sad. RIP

Kimi ni Love Song wo is a beautiful lovestory with a message behind its first most noticed storyline. While it is a story about love, It also tells the story of the friendship of the band, Helping eachother out when its needed through difficult times. I will be writing a spoilerless review.

Sungje is a singer for the band Supernova, However he has always had his flaws in his Japanese pronounciations. After unwillingly failing his song records many times, the song producers decides to put his songs on hold for now asking him to improve his Japanese. He takes a walk along the harbor and comes to meet a girl, This girl doesn't seem to see who he is however. Singing on a song by the korean band Supernova, He is unable to get the sentences to come out right causing the girl Saori to complete his song lyrics with perfect Japanese. Sungje quickly falls for the girl helping him out, And so he asks her a request of her learning him the right way to speak Japanese. She accepts on the condition that he will learn her korean aswell. His feelings develop for Saori while hiding behind somebody elses name, Determined to confess about his real identity. From here on starts a story of heartbreak, Friendship and romance for Sungje, However his happiness won't be one gained without struggling for it.

I found this movie to be really incredible. It had me laughing, crying and making me unable to refrain from smiling at some points. The movies soundtrack was amazing, Into the soundtrack there were original music from Supernova themselves fitting into the story without a doubt. Music was put into the right situations, No music I feel didn't belong in the movie. Great!.

Kimi ni Love Song wo is a story for all out there who are able to take watching romantic tearjerkers. While the storyline is unpredictive it only keeps the watch more amazing. Sung Je's first movie role, Couldn't have been performed any more perfectly.
