Each frame is a romantic landscape painting.
The director strives for the absolute purity and simplicity of the shots, and there are some wonderful transitions.
Actors are also at the peak of their appearance. Lee Jung Jae and Jun Ji Hyun are the true combination of male gods and goddesses. What's even more rare is that both of them have a very clean temperament, which matches the temperament of the whole movie.
The narrative method is very simple, but the story is really ordinary. Even if there is a guise of communicating through time and space, it is still difficult for the plot to be mediocre and boring.
The rhythm of the script is too important, whether it has ups and downs, and whether it has always attracted the audience to watch it from the beginning.
This is often the easiest place for Korean movies to fail~ Many Korean movies are either boring at the beginning, so boring that you can't watch it anymore, and only reach a climax near the end, such as "The Defender". Or make you think that there is something new and you have been looking forward to it, but you didn't expect it to be boring from beginning to end, such as this one.
But aside from the script, Korean movies are really well-made and have a wide range of subject matter. It is good to have an attitude of pursuing the ultimate.
