Best of the year

I've always thought Korean movies are magical. No matter what style you can hold, the good films keep surprising me all the time. The last time I saw a good film of the same type was "Dao Hee", and I felt the same way.
I haven't read the book, I haven't seen the original version, I only judge based on other movies of the same type I've seen, so I think I'm quite objective. Originally, the movie should be watched independently. If you are preconceived, it will inevitably be aimed at nitpicking from the beginning. I have seen the trailer before. To be honest, the trailer was very poor, and I felt that the protagonist really couldn't watch it, but after watching the whole film, I was really shocked. The lady's long hair is really super temperamental and super beautiful, and the servant is really good It was ugly, and finally on the deck, the picture couldn't be more beautiful. The plot is indeed progressing very fast. Maybe because of the time limit of the movie, the director's cut version is out, and I will definitely watch it again.
Some people say that the adaptation is too ideal and too beautiful, but we always yearn for beautiful things. The reality is too cruel, the movie is still ideal. Compared to Park Chan-wook's other films, this one is really thankful to him for letting me not feel "uncomfortable" after watching it. And it was very enjoyable to watch. The music can't be matched more closely, and the picture is also very flavorful.
A good movie, in my opinion, allows me to go deep into it, and my mood fluctuates with the protagonist. Just like many suspense films, there are actually many bugs, but when I watch them, I can't feel them. The director and screenwriter are equivalent to leading you on an adventure. I can't understand those people who like to find bugs.
Whether it's character modeling, actors' acting skills, screen settings, and soundtracks, they are all the best this year!
