I started watching CJ7 as a mistake. When I was channel flipping I stumbled upon this movie and I was so in love with it that when commercials would interfere me I would get mad. CJ7 is such a cute movie and funny too with the wonderful acting of Stephen Chow. The story was orignal to me because I had never seen one before with this same plot so I loved the new story. Then the movie also had its sad parts and what I loved the most was the cute ending. This movie is a good movie to watch if you want a cute funny movie that you will enjoy no matter what. This movie is rewatchable since no matter how many times you see it you will most likely still love it.

Won Bin has been out both in big and small screen lately but is back with a vengeance in this movie. He still impressed me. From "Autumn in my Heart" to this film..totally different character but were both perfectly portrayed. Hands down. On the other hand, I gave a 10 to the story because it's different & story is original compared to the other movies I've seen so far..korean movies per se..For me, it's a love story with a different meaning (if you know what I mean or perhaps I'm the only one who understand that :D). Anyways, all I'm saying is I love it, and you better watch it to understand what I mean.

My dad was watching this movie and then I joined about 10 mins into the movie and I do not like to miss a minute of it but I continued to watch the movie and loved it. So after it finished I saw it again from the beginning. Jet Li is awesome in this action packed movie. The acting was among the best since Jet Li was in it. The action scenes were phenominal since they really captured your attention and had you interested in what would be the outcome of the fighting. The story for this movie is not original because it has been done for other movies but with Jet Li being apart of the cast the story was able to seem different in a sense where you are seeing the movie and it feels as if you have never seen this kind of movie before. I dont know how to explain it but yeah its a must watch if you like action movies.

This movie is among my top favortie movies. I love the story of the movie even though it is not very original the way it was presented in this movie really made it stand out. Why do I love this movie so much? Maybe its because Jang Geun Seok was in it. Well it is one reason but overall the movie is awesome and is even better to watch because you get to see the mad acting skills of Jang Geun Seok and the adorable Moon Mason.How can one resist watching a movie with these two handsome actors? I do not like to rewatch movies that are not action or comedy so that is why I gave it a 1 for rewatch value this is just the way I think but I think most people would love to see this movie again. I am good with watching once and keeping it in my memory and heart forever!!!

First off, I would say this movie is not for everyone. I would avoid it if you do not like very slow movies.

This is a movie which beautifully relies on simplicity to tell an emotional tale. It's a quiet tale, full of feeling, full of longing. It's a deeply felt journey.

The gist of it is simple: China, 80s, the moutains of Hunan. A son is taking over the postman position of his father, who is forced to retirement due to arthritis. And for his first time doing it the father walks along, to teach him. The job is fairly simple: Walk a certain designated route, dropping mail in villages. But it's not that simple, because the postman must understand the villagers- and their hearts and the relationships among them.

It is a story of a father and son- and the understanding that passes between them of how much sacrifice this job entails. The son already kknows this and yet the journey together, the journey of passage for one and initiation for another- brings them to a point of transition and deeper understanding. This journey becomes a touchstone of both of their lives. It is a story of mutual appreciation, and of strenghtening the father-son bond but also increasing the love for the heart of the family, the mother, and her own sacrifices.

For anyone who knows and identifies with the joy but at the same time heartbreak of solitude and/or who enjoys solitary walks in the moutains, this movie may just prove a beautiful sight. For anyone who knows the separation from family for a long time due to a sense of duty or because of job, this may also be something to identify with.

It may not be a film for everyone, for it is slow, perhaps too slow, deliberate and reflective and lets feelings unfold on screen, though it speaks through facts and situations. It's a story of a father and son, the story of inheritance, the story of a journey of initiation and of sacrifice. It is accompanied with beautiful scenery and calming music- at times soaring with nostalgia which pierced right through me, beautiful cinematography, breathtaking at times, as we witness the wide expanses of the great moutains, the significane of the job in such a rural area becomes even more pronouces, as is the sacrifice. There is also some very intimate camera work at times.

It may seem very dated to some, however.

The acting is very sensitive and restrained from both actors and their bond feels very real; there is good character development as they learn more about each other The dog is also very prominent. The Chinese title of the film is "Those Mountains, Those People, That Dog", where the dog refers to the dog that accompanies our postmen on the way, a trusted companion, almost the second son, in the solitude of the long path that takes the postman away from home for many long weeks.

It's a thoroughly beautiful piece, which very much affected me the first time I saw it. I was very much taken by the painting the film created. For that reason alone, this movie will always be special for me.

I loved this movie, the months I was waiting to watch it were not wasted...
Han Hyo-Joo confirmed one more time her acting talent and bringing tears to my eyes.
If somebody asks me to tell them about this movie in two words, I'll say 'warm sun'... This movie gave so many warm feelings...
Director's and cameraman's work is brilliant... The game of lights in this movie, in my opinion, is one of the main positive effects... Because of the light in the movie... everything is printed in the smallest details in my brain... the girls clothes... the guys hair... the sun in the room... the beautiful kiss... the family feeling with the dog... the massage...the drama watching time...their field full of the yellowest flowers...her, touching his face to 'see' him... (I can go on, until I've told the whole movie..thehe).
Though the plot is not something brilliant and new for a Korean movie, actors and the crew makes the movie unforgettable, in my opinion..
Watch it, you won't regret!

For a normal viewer (one who is not familiar with K-pop/Super Junior), Attack of the Pin-Up Boys will make absolutely no sense. The story is about a bunch of boys who become popular after being hit by a bag of crap (?), I mean come on! BUT, for Suju fans, this movie is a must see. It is comprised of the boys we love most, acting as various stereotypes of male high school students. Basically, an ELF's dream come true. This movie is light and fluffy with several hilarious moments between the members. I also just wanna say, character wise, do not underestimate any of them-each of them have their own little.. quirk (some of which may actually be true in real life XDD) So, my advice for those who want to watch this: sit back, relax (DO NOT EAT WHILE WATCHING THIS-) and enjoy. Emphasis on enjoy: do not attempt to use your brain.

After watching the anime i was really happy that they made live action of this show & even with my favourite japanese actress, Kitagawa Keiko, They could've put someone that looked more like George but still Osamu did an awsome job portrating him :)

I was expecting more intimate scenes between Caroline & George but it's still gr8. The music was okay, could have been better.

I really liked he chemistry between the main leads.
The only thing i didnt really liked was that it was a bit rushed. They could've made a drama that has at least 3-4 episodes, and describe better the love devolpment between George & Caroline.

Over all, the story was good, in my opinion the acting was gr8 even tho i think maybe Ikuta Toma would've been better but Osamu still did awsome job portrating almost the exact personality like in the anime, Keiko was also g8 and she even looked similar to the girl in the anime. Busing was okay but not really my taste but when we look everything together it definatly a 10.

A great story in which you get closer to each character has the movie goes by with each of the artists hardships. The acting is good, even more when it comes to the relations between the characters. I especially love the light-old-jazzy music which perfectly fits with the movie's moods. If you are a fan of Arashi, you are bound to like this movie. If you are not a fan but you love historical mixed with slice of life and light humored movies, this one is for you !
