안녕!안녕! Hi ^^
So, I'm supposed to write about Bangtan or Exo, but I decided to write a movie review instead. I watched so many kdramas, kmovies and kvariety that even my friends know about it. Got request on giving a recommendation on good movies, thus here I am, writing a movie review based on my own opinion.
For this review, it's a movie that's out on 2016 (but Syera watched it on 2017, curse me please... hahaha) mainly because one of my fav idol in it which is Do Kyungsoo.
The movie title is Pure Love ( 순정) (read: Sun Jeong) or some people knew this movie as Unforgettable. Basically, both titles are used. Anyway, here's the synopsis of the movie:
From Wiki:
In 2014, a radio DJ gets a letter from his first love that brings up almost-forgotten memories of the past.
23 years ago in 1991, five friends spend the summer together. One of them, shy and innocent Beom-sil falls in love with Soo-ok. Beom-sil has a noticeable crush to Soo-ok and waits by the girl's window during the summer. Soo-ok suffers from a leg that can't make her walk properly so she is always carried by Boem-sil. The love blossoms and how he always sees her as the girl he wants to marry.
Syera's kindof synopsis:
So, the story goes back to the year 1991, where there are 5 best-friends who live in a rural area or kind of an island.
From top: Gil-Ja, Gae-dok, Bum-Sil, Soo-ok, San-dol
So, these five friends are so close to each other. However, secretly, Bum-sil and San-dol secretly had a crush on Soo-ok. Soo-ok on the other hand, is a girl with a deformed leg that makes it difficult for her to walk. So, usually, her friends and dad will piggyback her around.
At the same time, there's a medical student (I presumed.. lol but the villagers called him Doctor) that are giving his service to the villagers to get merit/credit from his professor. However, as the Doctor's place is on another island (again, I presumed...), they need to row a boat to go to his place (but Soo-ok can swim there... hahahah, how cool is that). The Doctor has been consulting Soo-ok about her leg and promised her that he'll help her to walk back by having a surgery in the city. This movie kept on showing series of moments that giving hint that somehow made it looks like Soo-ok has a crush on the Doctor or the Doctor has a bad intention on Soo-ok.
At the same time, the movie portrayed Bum-Sil (Do Kyungsoo) as a quiet friend, but has a crush on Soo-ok secretly. As Bum-Sil studied in the city, he always brought back a mixtape of Soo-Ok favorite songs as he knew that Soo-Ok really likes music. She even dreams of being a radio DJ. Every night, Bum-Sil will secretly stand at the Soo-Ok's window to listen to the music that she plays.
This is him secretly listened to Soo-Ok's music by her window. I guess D.O really have something going on with window. He's in front of a girl's window too in It's okay, It's love.
Anyway, the story between Bum-Sil and Soo-Ok is really cute. How Bum-Sil secretly love her reminds me of the innocent love, the puppy love kind of feeling. His reaction when he's jealous, and when he knew that the Doctor lied to Soo-Ok is very interesting. How I wish I have this kind of crush too.
So, in this review, I'll give spoilers. Hahahaha...
Basically, the Doctor lied. Actually, Soo-Ok's legs can't be treated. She will not be able to walk. Her dad didn't want to give permission for the surgery. She's too frustrated about it and ends up with a suicide. Okay, this movie makes me depressed for the last 20 minutes of it. Yes, Soo-Ok died. Her friends when through a hard time. But the ending is quite nice when they meet up again years later on 2014 as Bum-Sil actually end up being a radio DJ and received a letter that was written by Soo-Ok years back during his air time.
Actually, there are a lot more dramas in the movie. But I simplified it so that it'll be easier to explain about the story.
The best part of the movie:
1. The first kiss (Umbrella Kiss)
Yessss people.. They kiss like dattt... but i find it cute somehow. Like a pure love (owh, thats why they use it as the title). Seriously, i cried a lot during this scene. Finally, Bum-Sil confess (i guess so.... that's Kyungsoo's way). Very sweet moment guyssss.... Want to try it in real life.. ehhhh (buang tebiat ^^)
2. The last hug
This scene. Oh. My. God. Sumpah i cried too much here. Like, Ok, I admit it, Do Kyungsoo is a good actor. He makes it looks like he seriously loves her. The underwater hug looks so sincere. How can someone love a girl that much??
3. Friendship scenes
This movie portrays how friendship should look like. I really really love it. At some point, I really wish I have friends like that. The moment when they literally manage Soo-Ok's burial. The moment when they blamed each other for Soo-Ok's death. The moment they ate Samgyetang (Korean dish macam sup ayam) in the end. I cried a lot more than the actors themselves.. hahaha. Sumpah time Soo-Ok nak nyanyi tu diorang tolak ramai-ramai naik bukit, time Soo-Ok teringin nak pegi satu pulau ni, diorang curi boat then kena rotan. Time ending movie yang diorang lepak dekat kubur Soo-Ok siap bawak gambar. Best sangat all these scenes.
Sedih sangat bila Soo-Ok takda..
4. The Pure Love
The last scene, time Bum-Sil dengar the tape yang Soo-Ok buat atas nama dia (For Love) it's actually for Bum-Sil, sumpah nangis teruk. Gambar last yang Soo-Ok ambik guna camera dia, semua gambar Bum-Sil. Like seriously, Soo-Ok suka Bum-Sil jugak... omggggg... sedih gila bila diorang confess sehari je, the next day Soo-Ok bunuh diri. Sedih gilaaaa...
How I rate the movie:
Crying level: 8/10
The music: 8/10
The friendship: 10/10
Overall: 9/10
Should you watch it:
If you like a mellow or love movie, go for it. It's quite a slow movie. But they serve good oldies songs. I think the movie is appropriate for all age as there's nothing to censor (maybe the Doctor and chocolate bar moment). You'll learn a lot about friendship. I really really love it.
Till next review,
Syera
