[edit]Synopsis

So Ji Sub plays the role he does best, the tortured hero who is tough yet sensitive, in the highly anticipated melodrama Always. The popular actor impresses with his formidable physique and fighting scenes as a boxer, but the film's strongest moments lie in his pairing with Han Hyo Ju, who returns to the silver screen after vaulting to fame through the television dramas Dong Yi and Brilliant Legacy. Known more for introspective indies like Magicians and Flower Island, director Song Il Gon ventures into commercial cinema with Always, adding his own distinct touch and details into the heartrending love story. Having closed himself away from the world, former boxer Chul Min (So Ji Sub) starts a new job as a parking lot attendant. One night, a visually impaired young woman, Jung Hwa (Han Hyo Ju), walks into his tollbooth to watch television with him. Jung Hwa's bright spirit and smile in the face of adversity reach through to Chul Min's heart and shine a ray of hope into both their lives, but their love and happiness may be short-lived.

    This is a really good movie. The story is a little grusome at times, but it also has light hearted warm moments. The play on light and dark in the cinematography goes well with the story. There is one part where Cheol Min replaces the windows and Jeong Hwa reaches out to the light that is just beautiful. The acting is really good too. Of course, So Ji Sub is always good at playing the slightly disturbed characters. He is one of my favorite actors!!! I love Han Hyo Joo in Shining Inheritance and she didn't let me down in this movie. The music isn't anything to mention but it went well with the movie. I would probably watch this movie again.

    My Mini Back-Story:

    It was late and I was bored, so I didn't have time for a new drama. Hence, I went ahead and looked for a movie in my "to watch" list. Ta-dah!

    Storyline:

    The storyline is in no way original. I've seen this happen in several melodramas before. It felt like a deja vu. Nonetheless, it was heartfelt and touching overall.

    So if you're ever in a mood for another melodrama-I've-seen-it-before with good acting, then here is what Only You has to offer...

    a) Looking for cute couple or nice feel romance? Here is the right place! I thought our OTP worked really well together. I've long overused the phrase "they complement each other". Though, it's true! That phrase applies here too. I also     read more
