Korean Film Fest 09/21/12


A friend told me about this Korean Film Fest they were having in SM Megamall and of course, I had to go see it. We don't see each other very often so we took it as a great opportunity to bond and indulge on our common love for Asian movies. I was supposed to attend a day's showing but I enjoyed it sooooo much I went back for next day's fare. 

So anyway, here are the movies we saw..

DAY 1

JEON WOO CHI

I really enjoyed this movie, and based on the audience's reaction, they did too! It was a great mix of fantasy, action, and comedy. ahhh people actually clapped enthusiastically when the movie ended. And oh! I loved Kang Dong-Won oppa xD

This movie is probably one of the best films I've seen in my whole life. In fact, when I found this full movie up in youtube, I had to share it with my friends on facebook. It simply-cannot-be-missed. Of course, people were clapping and laughing with the characters onscreen. I just loved it. 

DAY 2

LATE BLOSSOM

I couldn't find a subbed trailer, sorry. You'd have to be a stone not to be moved by this movie. I really enjoyed it a lot. I was alternately cheering and crying with the characters during the film's entirety. One of the best Korean movie I've seen for sure.

So it was getting late and I really should have gone home after the first movie but I've heard this is a good one so I stayed for it. idk, maybe because I've just watched 3 great films so I just found this one average. Just like all the other Asian "kung fu?" films. Perhaps if I've seen it another time I would have enjoyed it more.

So that's it for this year's Korean Film Festival. I was actually a bit peeved cos I missed the Japanese one in July. Oh well, next year then.. :)
