A jewel to be discovered
As an unconditional fan of Gong Yoo, who is for me one of the best actors of today, I watched this film, first for him. Then because it has become a "classic" Korean film to see.
Well, I was not disappointed...
First of all, I would like to point out that this film should be seen as more than the subject it seems to deal with: Adultery.
This film is not for people who can't see beyond that.
Indeed, it is first of all a film about life, people, love and the choice of each one.
You have to see and understand each person's life to fully appreciate this emotional film. My heart sincerely fluttered and I really liked it.
What about the acting? As expected, Gong Yoo plays wonderfully, and still managed to touch me deeply. I lived and understood each of his choices whether they were happy or terrible.
But very nice surprise also from Jeon Do Yeon: Beautiful acting, her character has many facets, and she takes us away and touches us as much.
There are intimate scenes, which could be disturbing, but in fact they are completely in keeping with the film, and beautifully handled. Well done...
This film is strong, poignant and true. I loved it, and I highly recommend it.
