Love happens by chance

If the bad past is a mischief of fate, then the beginning of love by chance is the gift of luck. At the beginning of the film, Cheol Min (played by So Ji Sub), a big boy with fluffy hair, tall body and handsome looks, shuttles through the crowd enthusiastically-----delivering water and doing odd jobs to make a living, repeating the same rhythm every day like the general public, no one knows Don't associate him with a bastard. Taking over the job of the old man's gatekeeper and meeting Jinghua (played by Han Xiaozhu) is a kind of fate. Just in this small guard room, Zhemin was watching the video attentively, when suddenly a strange girl with a sweet appearance and cheerful personality broke into him. She didn't have the reservedness of the first acquaintance. She seemed to have known her for a long time, but Zhemin was confused and suddenly asked who she was. Only then did the girl realize that the person in front of her was not the grandfather, so she left shyly. Finding love is sometimes so simple.

Rain seems to be an essential prop in every love movie. When the girl is unable to move forward in the heavy rain, the kind and introverted Zhemin walks to her side and lets her watch the movie she likes before leaving. Looking back, it was still the small guard room. The girl and Zhemin watched the film. The girl whispered innocently. Looking back, Zhemin looked at Zhemin, and Zhemin glanced over her head embarrassedly. The germination of the seeds of love.

The love of little people is thin and thick.

"Only You" has the unique style of Korean pure love films. It has no thrilling plot, only a faint ordinary life that you and I are familiar with. It doesn't even have a perfect hero and heroine, Zhemin and Jing. The flaws in the flowers make their story even more moving. The film uses a flat and straightforward approach, and uses the ordinary plot of watching TV and listening to concerts together to accumulate a touching story bit by bit.

Cheolmin, who gave up his former boxer life, simply and plainly does his job, bid farewell to the past, and starts a new life. In the guard room, the two of them watched a movie together. The cheerful Jinghua took the initiative to talk to Zhemin, asking and answering questions. Although the plot was a bit cliché, it was close to life. the taste of.

Frightened by the passing car, Zhemin dashed over nervously, and the words of concern implied the eagerness in his heart, and there was a heart-pounding beauty. Zhemin sends Jinghua home. Sitting on the subway, talking about whether there is something, taking the initiative to carry her, helping her find something from the pump, etc. A series of small actions make people feel warm, no need for a bloody storyline, a warm and wonderful life segment is enough .

The contrast between happiness and unhappiness is more touching.

Jinghua took the initiative to ask Zhemin to go to a concert. So she permed her hair, put on makeup, and wore clothes that didn't suit her, waiting for such a beautiful date of her own. "You seem to be my spring full of flowers, guiding me to fall into your warm embrace, I look forward to the person I hope to appear is you" This kind of music is fascinating, and beautiful music is also what Korean films are good at.

The film "Only You" only uses a short paragraph to describe the happy time Zhemin and Jinghua have together. They start a simple life together, and they are full of fantasy and longing for the future. The deterioration of Jinghua's eye disease makes the story turn sharply. In order to raise this money, in order to make his beloved woman see the light again, in order to make up for his guilt, Zhemin made a bet with his own life, but when Zhemin fought his opponent in a private boxing ring, the film deliberately Switching time and space to describe Jinghua's surgery and life after recovery, leaving the audience with suspense and heartache.

Korean-style pure love film elements: people, beauty, music, and beauty

"Only You" initially attracted the attention of fans because of the joint performance of So Ji Sub and Han Hyo Joo. Su Zhixie, who has always shown himself as a tough guy, has challenged the tough guy image again after three years since the movie "A Movie is a Movie". The news of training boxing hard for the new film still makes fans look forward to it, and Su Zhixie's introverted and deep character plays the role of philosophical Min, a little man with a dark past but a positive outlook on the future, is expected to equal the classic drama "Sorry I Love You" in the moving index.

What is remarkable is that Su Zhixie's performance is still in place. In recent years, he has intentionally changed the way of play, always challenging complex roles, whether it is Chaoren, who is calm on the surface in "Cain and Abel", but actually unfolds his revenge plan step by step, In "road no.1", he is also a big man who will carry family, love, and war friendship on one shoulder, and he is a tough and tender man, which makes Su Zhixie's acting skills more proficient and exquisite. In the movie, So Ji-sub has repeatedly challenged action scenes, which means that he will carry the tough guy to the end. From the gangster who wants to be a star in "The Movie is the Movie", the gangster who wants to be a star performs a show in the play, to the present "Only You" Joong sacrificed his fists for love to fight in a cage of flesh, and So Ji Sub also completed the triple jump to become an action star.

In the film "Only You", Su Zhixie's speculation about the role of Zhemin can also be said to be out of ideas. For example, after Zhemin was injured, he held on to a stone that was extraordinary to him and refused to let go. It is said that this is from Su Zhixie's own idea. And it was definitely adopted by the director. From this, it is not difficult to see how Su Ji-sub, whose acting skills are already mature, achieves the professionalism of excellence.

And Han Xiaozhu's performance is also a highlight of the film. She has a pure appearance and always plays a cheerful role. This time playing a nearly blind role can be said to have brought her a lot of challenges, but unexpectedly, Han Xiaozhu But it shows the nature of Jinghua. Han Hyo Joo's innocence and So Ji Sub's restraint also improved "Only You" as a pure love film in some respects.

The beauty of Korean movie scenes reflects the attention of the behind-the-scenes staff to the performance of the movie. Whether it is the scene in the rain or the corner of the small bar, there is a touch of aesthetics. The handling of small props, such as a stone, a pet, etc., also reflects the thoughts of the filmmakers, and the small props play a role in determining the direction of the plot.

In addition, the soundtrack of "Only You" is not rich, but it also adheres to the eye-catching tradition of Korean film and television drama OSTs. The music played on the first date between Zhemin and Jinghua is enough to indulge the audience.

"Only You" was selected as the opening film of the 2011 Busan Film Festival in South Korea. Its style of saying goodbye to big productions and taking a fresh and simple route is a declaration of the return of Korean films to the successful model of pure love films, although some audiences are slightly old-fashioned about the story. The plot of the novel has expressed certain dissatisfaction, but it can take more than 100 minutes to tell a pure and beautiful story, which is something that many people can't learn by trying their best.
