You Are the Apple of My Eye (2024)

"Destiny is not a matter of chance.."

I thought this quote "destiny is not a matter of chance" resembles a lot to the characters' history. Your destiny is governed not only by your choice or what you do but also on choices made by others and that hit me hard.

If you love sweet, nostalgic romance with beautiful cinematography and heartfelt moments, this one is a must-watch! Was a rollercoaster of emotions and it definitely leaves you a little broken by the end. I don't usually like endings but I think they did an incredible job with how it ended since it was the most realistic thing that could have happened.

I was so excited to see Jinyoung in cinemas for the first time, he is such an amazing actor.

lacks the charm

they lost the charm that the other versions had.
the interactions between the ml and fl were so limited, they barely had time to connect and fall in love. they made the ml more 'heroic' and less quirky and the fl a side character instead of the headstrong girl. fl had clear dreams and aspirations in other movies while here they are just reducing her to a love interest.
the lack of connection between the leads helps with the ending, in the other versions it feels painful but here it makes sense.
its very telling abt korean culture with the changes they made. in the other versions the fl's friend is pretty but here they tried to make her as unflattering as possible. also the chubby friend was the one who goes behind the fl and actually dates her but here it the handsome rich guy

good debut by dahyun even though she does not have much to work with
