A truly sensational film! The utter definition of a must-watch.
'Everything Everywhere All at Once' is impressive from every single viewpoint. I had heard murmurs of it being a great film, yet it still managed to completely smash my expectations. This 2022 release features a superb cast, a fascinating story and some top notch visuals. The editing and pacing, in particular, are brilliant.
The onscreen talent are all fantastic, but Michelle Yeoh is still the absolute standout from this. What a performance! I could watch her in this role over and over and over. With that said, Ke Huy Quan (welcome back!) is awesome as well, as are Stephanie Hsu, James Hong and Jamie Lee Curtis. Everyone plays their part very, very well.
All of the humour lands, with some parts being truly funny. It also manages to show supremely enjoyable action alongside a highly meaningful side too. In short: EEAAO is outstanding - you must see it if you get the opportunity!

Finally somebody understands the possibilities of bending. Homma is a revolutionary. Katara, predictably outlaws the practice(We find out in legend of Korra) of course ensuring that the practice would be remembered in a way it never would have been if it hadn't been outlawed and brought attention to. I love Katara for her compassion but she is not a leader.
First truly bad episode this season.
I hate Gabi so much, I don't even care if she's got a redemption arc later on, it ain't gonna change a thing.
At first I disliked her but now I wish they had yeeted her off the zeppelin when they had the opportunity.
I already hated Gabi before this episode so this changed nothing
Simple , Elegant GoodNight Watch
Kim Go Eun and Jung Hae In have such beautiful chemistry. Their love story spans from 1994 to 2005, and we get to see the retro technology like radio, telephone booth, Windows 95, flip phone, and so on. It's a memory delight for viewers growing up in the 90's and amazement to the generation afterwards.
Fate and hardship of life meets and tears them apart each time in 1997 and 2000 until the last meeting in 2005. Each time, the lack of communication between the couple is the real antagonist in separating them. And it seems like also the lack of communication from the production team separate the movie from the viewers with choppy scenes and bumpy relationship growth. The ambiguous open ending as doesn't help harness any more fans
That being said, the time gaps were poorly done. Conflict arises over situations that could easily be fixed. The breakups and reunions are very clumsily done. Definitely not a movie to watch for the story but more so for the feeling it leaves you with.
The movie is saved by great acting skills of main and supporting actors and actresses, and the chemistry between Jung Hae In and Kim Go Eun is sweet. And off course some nice music. As mellow as it is, I will not re-watch this movie again.
Watch it if you are hung over either Goblin(Kim Go-eun) or One Spring Night (Jung Hae-in)
Why are there only 4 seasons listed when 5 were aired? Netflix has the fifth season.
Totally sick. I loved it. Lanthimos has an extraordinary vision.
This TV Show was AWESOME.
Ji-pyung as always the selfish rich a***hole who lies... Nice to see Do-san fighting back the urge
One of the most beautiful, brilliant, and poignant dramas I've ever watched. I'm crying as I write this.
A decent movie. Too much patriotism always annoys me and plot holes hurt. Very enjoyable for anyone who has a US flag fetish.
My absolute favourite anime. Watch it now if you haven't already.
writing about stories in which a writer struggles with writing is just lazy writing.
Locking forward to this. 2020 Dramas We are ready :grinning::ok_hand:
Quite slow, uneventful and repetitive. Also, very predictable. I feel like this story would have worked better as a movie.
As the rest of this season; Highly enjoyable, poorly animated.
The decline in animation quality is actually horrific to the point where I pray to GOD they re-animate this season, and I'm not even an elitist.... It just looks plain goofy, espically with the Jaw cracking scene
I'm sure the plot was fine. At points clever, And it was fun.....ny. Whenever movies are involved with hardcore patriotism it gets kinda hilarious. no offense, it's just how it is.
This is a solid crime drama with a little bit of a twist. Harrison Ford is great, as always. The score was pretty good too. The ending let me down a little.
A great movie. Not sure what movie the 2 bad reviewers here saw. It's a winner of 2 Oscars and Harrison Ford was nominated for it. Witness is definitely one of his best.
I really liked the drama. I found it realistic and important for life learning. It's a bit slow, but since the first episode it gives ideas on the topics to be developed along the way. I like it because it's not the typical someone evil and someone good, it's about human beings trying to be the best of what they think it is the best.
I found myself reflected on some of the characters. It also made me think about decisions made and the arguments one uses to make a decision and/or to defend what one thinks is right.
This Korean series is just excellent, on all points.
Whether it is the shots, the music, the duration of a discussion to make us feel a specific emotion and immerse ourselves inside the scene, the themes addressed ( This is the first time that I see a series that introduces the LGBT theme as well and naturally ).
Everything was so natural and so well developed, until the very end the series was excellent.
It taught me a lot about life, its meaning, the love of a father, of his family, love for the one we love, the sense of friendship, the image we likewise, revenge, and the importance of our own principles.
I come away with a lot of motivation for my future projects, which is why, for me, this series is excellent, since not only did I have a great time watching each episode with such emotions and I come away growing up.
Thanks, IC!
Can this be even more complete? Great characters with great plot and sub-plots. Always having the feels in most episodes. This is actually one of the best Korean Series i have seen. And don´t get me talking about the awesome soundtrack.
This turned out to be my favorite korean series. It gets people in different ways but for me it was just perfect.
this episode is 70% filler
One of my all time favorite Korean drama, I absolutely love the feeling it gave me and it has an awesome ost too.
A beautiful, minimalist love story. One Spring Night (OSN) tells a tale of two people who fell in love despite the whole world telling them not to. They tugged at my heartstrings with their beautiful relationship that not only had to bear the weight of internal struggles but also had to face the societal pressures that came along with being Korean.
First and foremost, let me just get this out off the way; I have been in the mood for slow-romance and I appreciate the one without the usual K-Drama Troupes ; like Memory Loss , Unreasonable Breakups , Misunderstanding and Jealous-Evil Second Leads ; and OSN fits perfectly in this category
One Spring Night is a take on modern Korea where the youth have to face the older generation, but not with guns or lawsuits, it's all about dialogue.
It's as much a social drama as it is a romance story, so please go into it keeping that in mind. The cultural differences will make some decisions hard to understand but all of them make perfect sense, regardless. Jeong In and Ji Ho's slow burn romance coupled with extremely lovable side characters, realistic and fleshed out "antagonists" (though I'm not sure if I want to call them that because they weren't inherently evil, just handicapped by their circumstances, upbringing and morals).
All in all, OSN offers what most dramas tend to lack these days: authenticity. It makes you feel like you're there with the characters and you grow fond of them.
One Spring Night is (once again) about growth, and I believe that the best score you can give to a drama is "I want to watch whatever this writer and director are doing next". Well, this drama is not perfect. It has its problems but that's what growth is. It's not a straight line to success and that you won't get annoying sometimes. But the acting, damn, the acting.....
I don't like to compare performances because I like to believe that actors can't only do so much if the script isn't good. But what an amazing performance by everyone.
Jung Hae-In and Han Ji Min were both superb in their roles as the couple deeply in love despite their 'flaws'. Their chemistry was electrifying, similar to Jung Hae-In's performance with Chase Soo-bin in "A Piece of Your Mind"
That's not to say that the side characters weren't also quintessential to the story. Unlike many of the other dramas, the side characters in OSN are seamlessly natural in their performance and appropriately impactful on the main characters. They aren't caricatures or plot devices used to fuel the story, but rather, they have their own lives and accompanying struggles.
The FL’s sisters were also great and their acting really conveyed how their characters were shaped by their shared upbringing. The mother is not a saint ; although she is from the old generation she understood and stood by her children.
If there are two people I would hate it would be the Father (Tae-hak) ; greedy old guard with self-interest and the wife-beater Nam Shi-Hoon ; these kind of men are a disgrace to Manhood . Ki-Seok is an acceptable character who just destroyed himself due to pride and not love.
The music in OSN was also flawless and appropriate to the story. It boasts the ensemble of Rachael Yamagata as well as a song from Oscar Dunbar and Carla Bruni. These songs aren't just great for their addictive repetitions on your phone, but they seamlessly blend into the settings of OSN. One song in particular, Spring Waltz by Carla Bruni. My lord, that song was perfect for OSN and an absolute delight to listen to. Even if you don't watch this drama, which I highly doubt by now given how much you must've read of this review by now, you should google that song and play it on repeat.
Overall, OSN has ranked definitively in my favorite Korean dramas of all time. It's needless to say at this point in the review, but the casting choices, music and directing styles were all impeccable. OSN showcases a captivating love from one to another with endearing characters from varying social backgrounds. It's truly a romance that will keep you engaged in the show from all their ups and down. There is this faith between the main characters that persists throughout the show, and it's a faith I have for the romantic dramas to come from director Ahn Pan-seok and writer Kim Eun
When I started it i thought it had 32 Episodes and I wasn't rushing through to continues which helped me to enjoy it more. Binge watch it, watch two episodes a week, whatever works for you. If possible, watch it on a Spring Night with your partner.
A too long runtime and the few action scenes make this movie boring most of the time.
I'm really disappointed... like what is this drawing
beside the movement is strange!
and it's all based some talks
hope next one will be better
Hard to watch because of the pretty severe polarization of both the events as well as the characters. Contains several factual errors, some of which too big to attribute to artistic licensing. The cinematography and pacing was fine but the glaring omissions and lack of proper fact-checking dragged the episode down.
