i always ignored this movie when it popped up in my suggestions list on youtube. partly because of the hair (the male protagonist has absurd white hair) and partly because the poster made it seem too dramatic and unreal.
but i thought of giving it a try once i exhausted my drama list.
and boy am i glad i did.
this movie had me crying like a baby by the end of it. although the plot is very overboard-unreal-dramatic (i mean how can a relationship go so absurdly wrong? how can all the bad tragic stuff happen to one cute innocent harmless couple?), this movie had it all-romance, (initial)cutesy-comic scenes (they're very hard to find later on), beautiful, admirable love of the purest kind. and tragedy. alot of tragedy.
this movie is probably not for practical people or people who look for logic in the stuff they're watching. but if you're looking for melodrama, romance, dreams and inspiration, then this movie is a must-watch. :)

Finally Chris Wu in a leading role!

The premise of Blowfish and the fact that Ive been wanting to see Chris Wu in a leading role ever since Autumn’s Concerto made this movie a must watch for me…

The plot is bare with most of the film centered on the 2 main characters. I’d say 75% of the movie is just silence. You are basically watching them live their daily lives eating, sleeping, working etc. I know I know it doesn’t sound quite fascinating, but really what makes this movie worth watching is the interactions between the main characters. There is not a lot of dialogue but the way the actors showed their developing feelings for each other through their facial expressions really was quite impressive. The chemistry between the 2 actors was amazing. I really liked watching the characters come out of their depression from their former lives and enjoyed watching them make their own new life together. I’ll warn you the way they come together so quickly is quite strange and their developing relationship is also very very strange. Also be warned there are quite a few love scenes but they end quickly. Overall this movie was different than what I usually watch but I still ended up liking it. Overall, It’s a very strange tale of finding new love.

Who doesn’t love a good romcom with a bonus of Gong Yoo? That's what I was expecting but...

This movie claims to be a romantic comedy and I feel like they didn’t fufill that. It wasn’t that hilarious nor was there real romance. Sure there were subtle funny scenes here and there but nothing that will make you fall out of your seat. As for romance, the couple goes on “dates” but its not identified as dates and their relationship really doesn’t get explored much. The ending was open-ended which I didn’t like. Still, the movie has enough going on to keep you from getting bored.

A positive I found was the lead actors. Their acting was natural and they had good chemistry.

Because I liked the lead actors I wouldn’t mind seeing this again because it wasn’t horribly boring but its not something I have to see right away.

Overall this movie is forgettable although worth a watch once.

Hey it wasn't that bad, wasn't that good but not bad. I loved Ryuk even though the animation for him was kinda lame, I liked him. The guy who played light wasn't too bad either, actually I think he portrayed the twisted side of Light very well. The girl who played Misa was not bad. Now the guy who played L was definitely the best of all, they cast him very well. He's how I would imagine L in real life. I've watched the anime and read the manga, and I'm glad they changed somethings. If you're not a hardcore death-note fan then I recommend this, if you are then you might be disappointed with the way they did this movie.

I watched this movie just because of Kim Sun Ah performance. And as I thought she did not disappointed me. Her performance was really good and I enjoyed her scenes a lot.

But the rest... well movie is slow for mine taste. I fast forwarded it a lot. Main lead annoyed me, his not a bad actor just his role was so immature and hot-tempered. Story is decent but expected, movie did not surprised me, not even once. It's about someone with great talent but also great ego that he must overcome to became better person to win back his family.

Music was a great fit for this story, encouraging in many scenes. Overall this movie is decent. I cannot recommend it nor dissuaded it. If you want to see movie about baseball player and his relations with his family you could watch this movie.
