The Beauty Inside (2015)

Hmmm... I liked it by the end at least.

Pros:
- Cool idea for a plot that is presented in a fresh way
- There are a few nice, touching, moments that make you feel good
- The ending scene is memorable and very well done

Cons:
- The pacing is slower than expected and there is a lot of dry dialogue, where attention can be zapped
- Some of the progression is not satisfying, due to some generic-feeling writing that makes the main character seem emotionless

Final thoughts

I don't think it was bad at all. It just didn't captivate me like I imagined. I would maybe recommend this movie to someone who wants to experience a fresh idea, but doesn't mind slower melodrama.

The synopsis of this movie seemed interesting so I decided to add it to my watch list. It took me a while to finally sit down and watch it, but during a Park Seo-joon binge, I decided it was time. The concept of this movie is truly unique and not the same plot that's been done over and over again. Both Park Seo-joon and Lee Dong-wook make appearances so you can already appreciate the beauty and talent of the cast. I understand why the writers left the ending the way they did, however, as a viewer I was hoping for something a bit different (such as a solution to the problem). That's not to say that the ending takes away from the movie, it's just a personal preference. I didn't really laugh too much, but I did she a few tears. Overall it's a decent film and worth a watch.

To think of a story like this can be idealistic but to create it is amazing .., I mean who wouldn’t want this to happen or I’m sure everyone has thought once in their life they wanted to be someone else for a day. Without giving any spoilers this movie has so many cameos of actors well known in the k-drama industry and involves the simple design of furniture making into the life of a man who has the burden of turning into someone different male or female, child or old person , and falling in love with someone and trying to keep that person by his side along with his family and friend... just friend lol
It’s a great movie if you can stand the test of looking outside the box of it being slow in most people’s mind and in fact a work of genius on the director and writer who produced this and made this film come together. I applaud everyone who had some part in making this and am happy to give my honest review in hoping others will enjoy or dislike this film as long as you have watched it is all I’m trying to persuade any reader in doing so. ??‍♂️??‍♂️??‍♂️??‍♂️?????

Change of feelings throughout the movie just like the characters :)

I decided to watch this because of lee dong wook and because of the story line. I mean a person who changes every single day? Never heard of this kind of story. I watched it and oh my god I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee this movie! Hyo Joo's acting is just spectacular. I expected this movie would be a fun one like I was eager to know how this guy actually cope with his condition? It's like a roller coaster of feelings when watching this. Similar to the character, your feelings when watching this changes too (idk maybe it's just me). It's 2 hours long but it doesn't feel boring or dragging. It paces just perfectly. Overall is just great!

A Beautiful Melancholic Film

I watched this movie because I watched first the TV Show version of this. I was enamored by how beautiful, thought provoking and heartbreaking this movie was, seeing two characters sharing the pain of thinking if their love would last was just heartbreaking yet also captivating. The two main protagonists were just well layered, sympathetic and you can easily connect with their characters. Yi Soo, was just fantastically portrayed by Han Hyo Joo, I love that they delved deeper into her character, seeing her trying her outmost best to understand Woo Jin even though it might cause her mental health deteriorating was sad yet touching. I also felt bad for Woo Jin throughout the movie, I could not imagine being in his shoes and he was also trying best not getting lost in the world of love because he was afraid it might affect his lover negatively. This movie was beautifully shot, beautifully portrayed and I was just in awe, crying and smiling all throughout. I also love the underlying message of Pansexuality, especially in the end of the film. Yi Soo did not care about the gender of Woo Jin, because she is attracted/fell in love with Woo Jin's personality which was uplifting to see. All of the A-list actors/actresses that portrayed Woo Jin were also good and I love that they ended the movie in a beautiful scenery in Czech Republic. Overall, a touching movie with great performances from the ensemble cast and a unique concept.

Interesting movie about an even more interesting and entertaining theme. Though, I couldn't help it but await for the guy's condition to eventually (miraculously) change. But, as the hero says (short of), love can change things but can make things difficult as well. The girl was amazing in her performance, as she displayed perfect chemistry with each actor that played her partner. Plus, some of the actors were really good (exapmle, the girl who performed the scene where the mother confesses her secret to her son). Still, however, it felt like it needed something more, maybe some twist or something more powerful. But all in all, a nice love story, so 7 out of 10.

Lovely movie

The cinematography was excellent, lots of tight, close up shots, which really drew my attention to the tiniest detail - him taking her hand, the handmade rings on their fingers, his lonely face on every new day. There were slow motion shots that pulled me even deeper into the story. This movie was beautiful on so many levels. The main actress was wonderful playing against the various actors. As she got to know Woo Jin and spent time with him, I kind of felt like a voyeur of their relationship, watching them getting to know each other more intimately and fall in love. Their total enjoyment of each other's company, and through necessity, trying to keep the outside world at bay. How important is love? What would you be willing to endure? What would you be willing to give up? Kudos to everyone involved in this movie.

Worth looking even if you seen kdrama series from 2018

firstly this movie is remake of American web series from 2012[never seen that one]
secondly exist kdrama series remake from 2018[romance drama give it 8,5/10]
thirdly trully I watched this movie just cause main female lead is Han Hyo Joo from Happiness 2021 and wanted see some other of her work, but it was worth it.

This movie is very well made romance drama. Even I first seen that kdrama series from 2018 and story is very alike since its remake I dont regret of picking up this MOVIE its whole tier better than drama.

Big diff between this movie and kdrama 2018 is even how well thorough and believable is life of main male lead which changes. Small things like dresser full of different sizes clothes, boots, glasses etc

plot - guy by some lets say curse changes everyday his face, gender, nationality...his whole being.
but once he fall in love. He waits for day he got representable face and invites girl out. Wont say more cause dont want spoiler.

Peak romance movie mine fav.

“Am I the same today, as I was yesterday?”

The main female lead is played by Han Hyo-Joo, (guessed she is a little similar 2 the 1 from W: 2 Worlds...hahah) Main character, Woo-Jin, changes bodies every day, the actors/actresses that portrays the character also changes very frequently. This movie had a different approaches in manifesting the idea.This is a adaptation & not a replica-

That being said, almost every one of the “Woo-Jin” is a top star.(COMPLETE SURPRISE 4 MEE) From Park Seo-Joon to Park Shin-Hye, to Lee Dong-Wook and Lee Jin-Wook, there’s a total of over 100 actors and actresses, ranging in varying ages, gender, nationality, and essentially every aspect of life.

Definitely something u need 2 watch if you love drama/romance films, or Korean films in general. Because the movie features such a wide range of great cast members, you’re bound to find an actor/actress you like in the film.

What made me watch the movie was the interesting trailer. I saw so many recognizable faces and some of my favorite actors, that's why I decided to watch it. The story is quite unique and charming, I suspected a different ending, but oh well, it was a twist of some sort for these type of romance films.

The leading actress was amazing and I believe that this movie was one of her best acting performances. I would strongly recommend to watch this movie only for the cinematography and the acting, just to see some of the already-seen faces of the Korean drama industry. However, I wouldn't particularly say that this movie touched me or made me rethink about it at night. There were so many scenes that I would've loved the writers to add or correct. In my opinion, there are far better romance tear-shedder movies out in this world.

"While you were changing, I was too"

Although I do not like time skips or movies, I still highly recommend this! I loved how we got to see Yi Soo's pov at the end and when she narrated, "While I was with you and saw you changed physically everyday, I didn't realize I changed too". Not only did this movie taught about beauty being from within (personality, morals, etc), it also showed how people's goals, attitudes, and feelings change as well even if they are not physically evident.

Also, I love how their romance goes beyond just a heterosexual boundary. Towards the end Yi Soo is seen kissing and smiling as the many different appearances Woo Jin held approached her. It gave so much representation to pansexual and demisexual folks who fall for the person / soul instead of gender / sex or appearance. I don't want to necessarily put a label on their relationship since this movie is about loving who you are, but it was still touching to know love was able to transcend beyond gender, age, and language barriers.
