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.

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.
