It’s easy to understand why so many love this movie. It’s a movie that will melt your icy, icy heart. It’s not only a movie for women. This movie will also make men cry, and I have to admit I had a big lump in my sore throat towards the end of the movie, which is my favorite part.
The movie is so cruel. It won’t allow the couple and especially the man to be happy. Normally, I don’t react to this kind of storytelling if you feel the movie manipulates you and uses cheap tricks. But I never felt this when watching Always. It could have gone wrong, but the director and the script have complete control, even though it’s easy to understand what will happen to the protagonist after the fight.
Always is one of the better romantic drama movies that the South Koreans have made. The actors are excellent, and the score is beautiful. So is the hot woman!
