While watching this I was reminded by another movie called 'A man called Ove'. I strongly recommend it to anyone who enjoyed Salute D'Amour. It's been a long time since I've watched something so beautiful. I didn't know what to expect. At first, I was excited because I thought I would be watching a cute love story between 2 elders. I was really curious how it would be shown on the screen and how the actors would play their parts.
This is so much more then what I was expecting. The story is really beautiful. I felt as if someone was reading it to me by a cozy fire on a winter night. Sung Chil (the ill-tempered man) and Geum Nim (the lovable woman) were just so believable as a couple that have fallen in love at an age when most people give up on those "trivial matters of the heart". I don't think I felt so many butterflies from a movie before. It was a joy watching their relationship develop and their feelings growing. I've been a long time fan of actress Yoon Yeo Jung but I was beyond impressed by Park Geun Hyung. He made me think "This is what a veteran actor looks like. This is how he can transcend his life experiences into art". He shined the brightest in this role. His experience really came through. From facial expressions to his shaking hands, everything was spot on.
Thinking back, I think what I enjoyed the most was how delicate this movie was. It was the life story of a great man. No special effects or unnecessary characters. Everything was kept as simple as possible and for me it couldn't have been better. You go into this movie expecting one thing, and for some time you get that, but in one moment you find yourself watching something completely different but because the transition is so smoothly done you get utterly immersed without a second thought.
This is a hidden gem people. You will feel joy, amazement and sadness, but most of all and warmth and love. It made me want to be in love as well because those 2 people seemed so real,nothing about them screamed scripted. Do yourself a favor and give this one a try, I am almost sure you won't regret it.
