Red Flowers and Green Leaves (2018)

It's not perfect but deserves attention

Story is takes place in a rural place in China. The characters are real villagers in poverty, not authentic or nostalgic. The scenes are as clean as real photos or a documentary. While I was watching, I could feel the dust of the field, the brown and thin people working in the field.
The lead male has a disease suspected of being epilepsy. That's why he doesn't want to get married and he thinks that someone who will like him will only be a 'flawed' person. However, his mother's efforts eventually get in the way of marrying a girl. But of course this isn't a k-drama. For the female lead, the situation is not a love marriage. Over time, secrets are revealed, troubles and separations occur.

Parts i liked:
Realistic representation, You can easily internalize the characters.
It's like a story set in the past, but we know it takes place in the present. The social structure is well reflected.
The integrity of the village, which consists of decorative details, architecture, places and fields, is strong.
The supporting characters are familiar from real life.
I love their wedding dresses and sleeping kitties :3


Parts i disliked
If you've watched Korean movies, you're familiar with the scenes where the characters are getting further and further away at the end. And you want to continue watching, thinking that there is a few more minutes in front of the screen, but the movie is over. It has such an ending.
