For acting wise, Chae Tae Hyun once again proven himself that he's a real actor! I'm a bona fide fan of him now.
I love the music in this movie so relaxing. The story telling is one of a kind... So touching yet cozy.
As for the only downside of this movie. It actually bores me in the middle and for those who gave up half way of this movie missed the beautiful part coz the ending makes my tears flow... If any of the viewer of this movie didn't tear at all then he/she must be stoned!
So I recommend this to you guys and make sure to watch it with your family.

-WARNING-
There is A LOT of blood filled, cruel and violent scenes in the film!
This movie is filled with action from the beginning until the very end. And our handsome and righteous hero, played by Won Bin, is doing some serious ass kicking in each and every second scene and keeps astonishing the viewers with his epic moves.
The actors are awesome and I am especially impressed by the actress playing the little girl who acted out her character very well. Furthermore, Won Bin is doing a great job as well and impresses me with looking ever so handsome no matter what feeling he expresses to the audience. No doubt, he's one of my favourite actors.
The plot is very intriguing and it makes you stay alert until the credits are shown. It involves both drugs and illegal trades of other... products... And you can never completely relax while watching it since there's always something going on and you can always tell that Won Bin can NOT screw this up, or he'll be fucked...
For those who like it; the fighting scenes are extremely well done and the cruelty is on its' top level.
Even though this was a serious movie I find it extremely funny at times and I really appreciate the jokes and faces that are smoothly added to the story.
The music was well timed and followed the plot well, though it was a bit predictable and the ending song can be questioned. I didn't notice this until the second time I watched it so I don't think you should let it stop you from watching it though.
I recommend it to anyone who enjos a good action movie with an interesting plot!

Watch it, even if it's just a certain bridge scene. Overall excellent with solid acting & very touching!
The music is perfect for it too especially the ending theme by Makihara Noriyuki (Firefly ~ Boku wa Ikite iku)!

I don't usually watch Chinese rom-coms but this one slipped away when I was watching too many romantic comedies.
2) Storyline/Plot:
The general story isn't something special or new but the way everything was mixed together made the film's story interesting somehow.
Positive points:
*The film's introduction was a good intro for what will happen next.
*There were two well-written twits that you don't usually find in romantic comedies stories: that was a nice change.
*Leads mixture was really cool even though it wasn't that intense.
*Finally and most importantly, there were several hilarious moments to make the film lighter.
Negative points:
*Although there were a respectable amount of negative points but I will only mention that the revenge plot wasn't that great, it would have been much better if it was written otherwise.
Story: 7.5/10
3) Acting/Cast:
*Zhang Ziyi: It was a surprise to see her in a rom-com film since I only saw her in Wuxia productions before. I was convinced by her acting but I can't say the same about her character.
*Other actors were good too, they knew how to make it really enjoyablespecially Fan Bing Bing she grasped the evil role perfectly but So Ji Sub was a disappointement here (mainly because I rarely like Korean actors in Chinese or Taiwanese productions).
*The chemistry was believable but not that enjoyable.
Cast: 7/10
Acting: 7.5/10
4) The ending:
Although it could have been much better but script writers chose to make it expected. It wasn't bad overall.
The ending: 7/10.
5) My impression (How did affect me):
*Although it wasn't a special film, it was entertaining and I had fun while watching it.
*Considering the fact that I don't watch Chinese romantic comedies, this was pretty good.
My impression 7/10.
6) Overall:
*If you like romantic comedies then you would like this.
*Ifyou like revenge plots then don't expect much from this.
Overall: 7/10.

STORY: The story may be flawed (just tiny flaws but still you have to call a spade a spade), however it so bright and fresh that you cannot NOT be touched by it. The story is simple, I dare say even childish, but in the end it gives you this warm feeling that life is life, you can't change the past but it doesn't mean you can't enjoy the future. In short, the story is simple, full of life, a bit different from your lambda movie and with a sweet moral. I really think this movie has for goal to make people go forward in life and it kinda does.
ACTING/CAST: The only actor I "knew" was the young version of Tae Hoon -Yu Geon played in Prosecutor Princess- and it was a nice surprise to see him play here (I'm shallow.Sue.Me). He played the nerdy character so well it was hard for me not to forget he was the hottie from PP, which means that his acting was pretty damn good.
I did see the adult version of Tae Hoon play in More Than Blue but honestly MTB was a joke, a blank one at that, so of course it's not surprising that he looks a hundred times more dashing here.
The woman who played Jeong Ju's mother stole my heart. I don't know if it was the way the actress played the mother or the actress's charisma but the character gave me a lot of feelings.
Overall the actors did a very good job with their characters and one should give credits to the people who held the casting since except maybe Tae Hoon, the actors playing the older versions really look like the older versions of the actors playing the younger ones (omg I don't know how to explain it well but I hope you managed to understand anyway).
MUSIC: The music was good, quite catchy in fact but nothing exceptional either.
REWATCH VALUE: It's the kind of movie that you should rewatch when you think your life is a disaster because you didn't make the "right choice" because it gives you hope and strengh to believe in yourself.
OVERALL: If it wasn't clear enough, I really like this movie. It is bound to brighten one's mood. Of course, if you are some kind of old man who hates happiness and hope, you shouldn't watch it...but if you're not you defintely should (watch this movie I mean, not go all grumpy).

I was hunting down Lee Min Jung's films and so I found this plus the rest of the cast seemed great so I end up watching this with great expectations.
2) Storyline/Plot:
The general story wasn't attractive or somethingspecial, it was sort of average.
Positive points:
*I really loved the opening story. At that moment, I thought I would rate this fim with a 8-9 but then everything didn't went the right way.
*I really can't seem to think about any other positive points.
Negative points:
*The story wasn't captivating which created many balnk moments.
*The leads mixture was really unnecessary because it was obvious who's going to end up with who.
*The general plot wasn't pleasant to watch.
*The story's development didn't deliver anything memorable.
Story: 4/10.
3) Acting/Cast:
*The only thing that counts for this film is the acting departlent. Although it wasn't impressive but the cast was pretty good.
*Park Shin Hye: she lead the stronget character here, (I kept remembering how she looked like in you're beautiful but I believe that's a normal reflex): she did a good job and her role was the only likable one.
*Lee Min Jung: I was unsure about her character here but the acting was well done.
*Uhm Tae Woong: Although I like the actor, his character was so much resentable that I almost hated the actor but his acting wasn't bad.
*Choi Daniel: No comments on his acting but as a cast he was okay.
Cast: 8/10
Acting: 7.5/10
4) The ending:
The ending is something good too, it was nicely made and fun to watch especially the last scene.
The ending: 8/10
5) My impression (How did it affect me):
*I didn't enjoy this film. In fact, I was counting time until it ends because I don't drop films.
*I was bored and regretful for watching this.
My impression 2/10
6) Overall:
*If you're rom-com lover then you may want watch this..
*If you like several cast films then you may like this.
*If you're not a fan of any of the lead actors then don't even bother about this.
Overall: 5/10.

When I started to watch Death Bell it reminded me of Saw for some reason. Maybe because of murder cruel ways used to eliminate students. Maybe because the riddles.Movie has great background music which fit the story perfectly. Acting was really enjoying to watch, actors captured emotions truly well, especially surrounding chaos which took whole school hostage.
Overall I enjoyed watching this movie although there were so common trick which basically directors uses in this type of movies. Like never trust "good guys" or people which say about themselves that their are worthless etc. I was disappointed that murder revealed it self right at the begging. But lucky it did not demanded the story ^^
I have to mention that the last scene with titles in the end made me laugh so hard! This is pure dark humor - and excellent I have to say!

At the beginning movie was so slow. I understand that this type of movies beginnings are usually slow to tell us the story and introduce the characters, but... without little "scary" parts it wasn't entertaining at all. Although I got great vibe from stepmother which was played excellent she was as creepy as she should be.
I really like the house, the wallpapers gives me goosebumps, long hallways this dark corners and that hurtful silence.
A cannot tell anything about music, because I don't remember any of it during the show. Maybe it's just one of those soundtracks that just complete the scene without any significant meaning.
Overall I don't recommend it, but you have to find out your self.

STORY: The story is plain to say the least.
It feels like the screenwriter said "Hey, I'm a sadist and I want to make bitches cry. What's the best way to make bitches cry? I just have to put a guy on the edge of dying, some unselfish love on top of that and, of course, a loooooooooot of crying scenes. Bitches love this kind of things." And maybe he was right since so many people seem utterly in love with this movie but I personnally think it's not enough.
The dialogues are plain but I guess it's logical since every single character is plain with no real personality...so don't expect to find any witty quotes in this movie. Of course the main character uses pretty good metaphors to explain love (and damn doesn't he love toothbrushes?) but even this isn't enough.
And all these unneeded scenes. It feels like they wanted to fill the lack of action by adding random scenes. And, once again, it failed.
Honestly speaking, the more I look at it, the more I feel like the screenwriter really thought a movie only needs someone dying, some twisted way of loving and, of course, crying scenes to be a good movie. But it doesn't, it simply doesn't.
And talking about the crying scenes, all this makes it so obvious that they want to make you cry your soul out and so we have a epic fail because all this is just ridiculous...story why you so plain and obvious?
However, I have to say that the base of the story wasn't bad, it had some potential but still, not enough is not enough.
ACTING/CAST: I have to admit the cast was good. Not flawless but good. But, again, it's hard to judge since the characters were so plain. It would have been hard, even for a outstanding actor, not to look just "okay" in this kind of movie. Because of the storyline and the way it's handled, everything is dragged down.
MUSIC: There are movies that when they end you just search like crazy for their soundtrack...More Than Blue isn't one of them. The soundtrack is just average. It goes well with the movie and this is it. It's not bad but it's not exceptional either.
REWATCH VALUE: Personnaly, I will never rewatch this movie and if I do, it will only be because I really love the way it was filmed...which leads us to my last point.
OVERALL: Everything is average in this movie. Everything? Maybe not...
Indeed, you just can't deny the film director has some really good ideas: the random beginning which leads to the story being told, the silent countdown, the use of the clocks...I have to say I really enjoyed it. It's too bad the rest didn't follow because More Than Blue could have really been a masterpiece if they handled the story differently. So to put it in a nutshell, yes MTB is bad, no it won't make you cry (except if you really feel like crying...but if it's the case, I guess even watching a tomato on a table can have the same effect) but you should still watch this movie because:
1) I have my opinion but I'm not you
2) The realisation is really good
3) I'm a troll and I want you to suffer as much as me from all this plainness

Story: LOVED it ! well it's just the basic BOF, HYD or LGWMS story except in shorter and simpler, now you have to know that i'm the type of person that hates complicated dramas or movies that drag the story until the very last moment so which is just my luck cause that's like practically ALL Asian dramas -.-
But i do think they focused to much on the fact that she was being bullied when they could have gotten deeper into the love affairs :$
ACTING: WAS SO BAD ! but in a funny why so it was ok to watch seriously sometimes my fingers would curl ! OH and I HAVE to mention Domioji's HORRIFYING word rob times change and so does fashion so maybe his cloth to me seemed a little bit over? i don't know but just didn't feel the pants that are tight around the waist and the vests with nothing under...
MUSIC: Lol the music from my parents age like the 60's or something like that i actually like this type of music :) loved the last song had me "dancing" more like wiggling on my bed :D
RE-WATCH: DEFINITELY ! i had a blast watching this it was funny,cute, short, sometimes embarrassing (acting, weird but entertaining and interesting to see the original BOF where it all started :D
OVER ALL: 9 cause i feel that they didn't show enough love scenes and to much bulling :$

The story was very detailed. It was very very interesting... Everything fits perfectly. All my whys were answered. You wouldn't want to miss a single scene... Some of the scenes are quite unpredictable and the psycho was really terrifying.
The characters were absolutely great. The psycho (Yoo Ji Tae) was amazing... I was really afraid of him and the next things he might do and what else he is capable of doing. The little girl who can't speak did a superb act as well, also her mother, the DJ.
The movie made me realized, how powerful words and media can be... (^-^). A must-see movie...

I guess I'm a bit let down because they could have done so much more with it and with how I saw the ending coming from a mile away, that said, I do that with most films.
It's a good film if you like stuff like Death Bell, Incite Mill, Death Game Park and Battle Royale, but they far outshine it.
