As a big fan of actress Jeon Do-yeon, I've always wanted to watch this movie, since she acknowledged this one as her favorite film she appeared in. I wondered why, since this film isn't as famous as her other movies like <Secret Sunshine> and <The Housemaid>. But after finally seeing <My Dear Enemy>, it actually became my favorite as well! The title of this movie made me feel confused before seeing the movie. The Korean title is <Great Day>, whereas the English title is <My Dear Enemy>. I wondered, did they really have make the title so different? But after seeing the movie, those two titles actually felt similar. They give off a certain vibe, and I figured that maybe the director wanted to preserve that vibe in two ways. After all, I noticed, 'great' and 'dear' are not so different. The movie stars two top star actors; Jeon Do-yeon and Ha Jung-woo. Without them, the movie might have been a complete fiasco. Because their act...
If I were to choose only one Korean movie, I would choose this one, <Take Care of My Cat>(2001). It is the most special to me. Thanks to this movie, I got to experience personally life-changing events that I will surely cherish for my entire life. In 2021, the movie reopened in theaters after a 4K remastering. As a big fan of actress Bae Doona, I went to the movies. And what I witnessed was something odd. To begin with, the story was odd. There was no romance, no thrill, no comedy, no pity in it.

Then by chance, I got to watch <Take Care of My Cat> again. And I wasn't dumbfounded at all this time; I was dumbstruck. Because the movie mesmerized me. Enchanted me. It was truly a magical moment. I had a realization that m...
Finally, the film I was waiting for so long! The film gained attention as it was awarded in Berlin International Film Festival . Personally I couldn't wait to see actress Lee Re, famed child actor now all grown up, on screen. Ever since she was a tiny young girl, her genuine acting moved the audience. Watching her grow on screen had always been a pleasure, so throughout the movie I was constantly overwhelmed by her advancement:) It's Okay is the first film she leads solely, making it a meaningful turning point to her acting life. At first glance, the synopsis may seem ordinary. It's about high school girl In-Young surviving in her own cheerful way after her mother suddenly passes away. But what's special about this movie is the chemistry between the characters. Their chemistry is especially crucial because In-Young's bright spirit can only be kept alive through her close relationships. In-Young is absolutely powerless to protect what once was hers. She can...
