I was 29 minutes in when i got the feeling of wanting to rewatch it already and i knew that im gonna rate it no less than a 10.
In movies like "Ballerina" or "Terminal" you won't get a "character development" as you know it. And you don't actually need it. But instead of that you'll get to understand character through their background.
And they did it perfectly in this movie. I don't need to see her past as a bodyguard or whatever she did for work. Because Okju herself never cared about it. She said that herself. The only thing she cared about was her friend. The only person in her life who gave her some kind of happiness. Through flashbacks you understand that Okju was able to see beauty of this world only through Minhees eyes. And that what matters the most.
And seeing her killing all those men was a really great experience. Because after hearing Okju saying "i owe her that" you understand that she is doing that because she believes that its only fair. Because Minhee was a light in her life. And Okju fulfilled her last request for that. As a gratitude.
Separate appreciation deserves light and camera work as well. I couldn't make myself look away. Each shot was a masterpiece itself.
Movie pace was perfect and gave you time to rest from fight, get deeper into the character and plot, and prepare to the next fight.
And last but not least. Actress who played Okju did amazing. All the emotions, all the different parts of personality. She showed it perfectly.
Such a great movie that deserves so much more attention than it got.
i enjoyed watching most of the series, but at the end, in the last episode they decided to add all trops possible with no reason for that whatsoever. With all they have added in last episode they could have had whole another season fr.
First of all I don't get why when Manaow learned that Tarn dragged Belle & blackmailed her she didn't comfort Belle. like. she really didn't do anything, she's a victim herself.
Next. Like the fact that in last ep, everyone seemed to care about Naow at first but at the end just together forgot about her existence? Never tried to talk about her with Gyo? Instead even cheered when Pure asked her to be his gf? Like. She already has gf what are u even talking about.
And adding to that. I honestly thought Pure is a good guy. But yeah. He just took advantage of circumstances and Gyos condition to force himself on her. the hell?
I don't really get why Naow decided to disappear from Gyos life but it isnt that relevant. The thing that actually shocked me is how everyone around Gyo just literally made it seem like Naow never even was there.
Like may it be because they didn't know that she actually never cheated on Gyo? But why telling her to "just give Gyo time to recover" if they hate her for cheating on Gyo.
Huge amount of questions to this last ep, really.
Honestly they shouldn't have put this whole lost memory trop at all. Instead i would gladly watch Gyo and Naow getting together, exposing Tarn or at least telling everyone that nothing happened that night, graduating having some happy moments etc. Instead we just got two and a half seconds of them after THIS amount of drama.
I was gonna give this show much more that 5/10 but last ep just ruined the whole impression of the series.
description is wrong tho. they are related....
