i like motion pictures

e 2nd of e series... anw i duno how many it'll go to... i hope alot, haha... but if u realised it took me a month to do up e 2nd one... coz after e 1st i got abit sian... but still i do love e featured items here, no doubt... i had this 1 all along drafted but incomplete, so cldnt publish...

it's e 1st of e many to-be-featured korean movies i love... heartwarminly funny yet tear-jerkin...
it parallels 2 stories of different times, tt of ji-hae(song ye-jin) today n her mum joo-hee(who else but also song ye-jin) in '68... both are similar in e strain tt both leads hav to restrict their deep hidden love n try to sacrifice it for their best frens, e expectd 3rd parties... The Classic is a lil long n slow tho, n e present day plot isnt powerful enough n lacks emotional charge, w sang-min(cho in-seong) unconvincin... so of course e flashback plot is much stronger n touchin, but also credit to cho seung-woo's charismatic performance tt makes joon-ha so modestly charmin... n yes dun forget tt classic movie soundtrack...

scenes to catch
-after joon-ha n joo-hee are stranded unable to go home due to losin their boat in a storm... e gorgeous rain scene, as the lovebirds enjoy e time together, albeit forced to by Mother Nature...
-ji-hae runnin thru e rain soakin herself even tho she has an umbrella, thinkin only of seein sang-min... all credits to song ye-jin!
-the classic restaurant scene after joo-hee finally finds joon-ha n reunites w him for some catchin up of old times...
