Tehran _ Iran
First of all , watching this movie be prepared to see any kind of obscenity and odium could be found in society ! in other words , this is an extremely bitter social melodrama with a very sharp and harsh way of protesting to the current problems of -not only Korean- but also the world's teens and youth !
I've read somewhere that director of this movie , has made it after seeing a CCTV video of a young boy crying before killing himself ! Knowing the fact that this story has a high chance of being a true one , gave me an special unforgettable feeling while watching this movie.
The best thing about the story is that it's not specifically for Gay people or any other special group of human beings , I think It's the story we all can relate !
We all can feel how much we've changed during our puberty and some of us have changed so much that looking back at our childhood , It's very hard for us to recognize if we're the same person or not !
Actors are amazing ! It was really interesting for me to see how this older actors could greatly transfer the feelings of being a teen that you can hardly believe they're in their 20's !
Background music was good and dramatic ...
And the ending ... Wow ! that's when you want to stand up and clap in tears ! (which I did :D)
anyways , this is surly one of the best and moving social movies I've ever seen !
I'm sure it will stuck in my mind for a long long time ... I've already seen it 2 times in one day cause at the first time I was really in a SHOCK seeing that much violence , that I could hadly get the massage of movie !
I'm glad that It was choosen by the international film festivals as well , It's great to see how Korean Cinema Industry is getting more and more known by the world , and I think this movie a MUST SEE for all people !

Seriously , the first thing I would tell someone about this movie is : you'll get a HEARTATTACK !
I'm a fan of action and thriller movies and I've seen many of them both from Korea and USA but this one was surely one of the best action movies I've ever seen ! I wanna congrat the screenwriter first for having such a creative mind to put all these big events in order and only in 24 hours ! Also a special THANK to the great actor who SHINED even more in this movie : LEE SUN GYUN !
He amazingly played a careful detective who UNLUCKLY gets involved with the most challenging crime ever ! And does the things he could never imagine in his NIGHTMARES ! A HARDY DAY , as the name says , is maybe simply about a really hard day with really surprising events ... or It's maybe all about a WRONG TIMING or maybe even farther ... About the serious social problems of TODAY'S society !
But whatever It is ... It has something to talk about ! Something as important as one's life in A HARD DAY!
Make sure to watch it !
Uhh ! And I wanna thank Jo Jin Wook for showing his great acting skills as he always does !

As a OCN serious project , (My Beautiful Bride) is surely one of the good ones but ... could be much better !
STORYLINE : 7.5 /10
A man who's totally in love with his fiance , suddenly loses her and through finding her , strange and interesting facts about him and his lover are revealed to the audiences.
The fact that he knows everything about her past but keeps acting like he doesn't have a clue , was meaningful and a brand new one to me !
BUT unfortunately the storyline losts the balance it had between action and romance as the story goes on and on ! The main idea was good but you can see it's not processed goodly specially as love story !
It feels like the writer just wants to sum up the couple's past and their complicated love-life at the few first Episodes , cause he/she insists on getting to the Action and Crime parts ASAP ! But the surprising and shocking fact is that the screenwriter of this drama (Yoo Sung Yeol) is the creator of the greatest action K-drama ever seen => CRUEL CITY !
I'm not saying that this drama IS NOT a sucess but who can compare it with (Cruel City) , U know !!!
ACTING : 8/10
(Kim Moo Yul) : After watching his unbeatable , incomparable and unique way of acting I was like : Where Have You Been ?! Lol ! It's such a pity that it was my first time enjoying his acting skills ! He truely shined ! and I wish he'll appear in more action dramas !
(Lee Si Young) : I mean what's with that character ?! You know sometimes you wanna punch a good actor/actress in face for choosing a pitiful role to play and maybe you punch the writer instead , for creating that kind of character ! Anyways ! Let's stop punching ! XD I really don't have any doubt about
her acting ! I've seen enough of her skills in (Divine Move) and (Killer Toon) action movies ! But hey that character was really a disaster !
(Ko Sung Hee) : thinking carefuly about her acting I don't think she was that bad but she wasn't good enough too ! I think she needs to learn more about natural kind of acting where you can find true emotions through someone's glance or even way of talking ! she couldn't goodly response to the feelings the first male lead sent to her ! (you know what I mean ) comparing to what we saw of her in SPY drama she has improved a lot but has got a long long way to go !
Other actings were also admirable ! thumbs up for them all !
MUSIC : 8/10
WOW ! I loved the unexampled soundtracks !!! And I loved that they were in English ! XD I didn't need to check the meaning anyway ! They really matched with the project.
REWATCH VALUE : 7/10
For director (Kim Cheol Kyu) , this is his first ever action drama (if I'm not mistaken) and as the first one ... let's give him a round of pleasure !
I liked the ending ! it wasn't very special but it was totally suitable .
As I mentioned the storyline isn't processed enough for the whole 16 episodes and it could be even more challenging and thrilling , for the audiences not to feel bored little by little !
Those action things were great and as good as they should be ! I really don't have any negative points to mention about fightings... e.t.c !
I don't have any plans for rewatching this now but maybe I'll give it a try later !
The drama style is my cup of tea , after all !
Thanks for reading my words ! Enjoy your action drama ;) XD

We all have some expectation when It comes to a thriller action movie !
Well , there are always certain standards for stirring shocking action which won't let you leave your seat till the movie gets to the closing credits ! These standards (which were mostly defined by best-selling Hollywood action projects) are : shooting guns , breathtaking fights , cazy chasing cars , jumping from one building to another ... and many many other supper effective factors which turn almost any movie to a best-selling money-maker one !
But when it comes to "The Terror Live" , we see the whole movie is there to grin at all these factors using ONLY ONE ROOM AS LOCATION , focusing on it's admirable cinematography , Increasing suspension , greatly written dialogs , dramaticly amazing acting skills while referring to a cruelly ignored demand of an ordinary citizen who happens to cause a tragic hostage on Han River's bridge as a psycho kidnapper!
When I started watching this movie , I had no idea what it was about ! I didn't know the story-plot or the casts ... and you know what , I'm glad I didn't ! I mean I'm not sure if I would watch it , knowing it's a single location thriller movie with unfamiliar actors ! I mean , I might have find it boring or even not worth it . But surprisingly , from the first moment until the very last , I was starring at the screen wide-eyed and open-mouthed , feeling so lucky to have the great chance of watching this movie by accident !
"Ha Jeong Woo" whom I was honored to know through this movie , couldn't stop showing his amazing acting skills ! He was naturaly confident and professionally expert at showing every kind of emotion and EXACTLY knew what he was doing in front of those cameras ! Cause the whole movie takes place in the room he's at , and the camera zooming is on his face for more than one hour , he had one of the hardest roles ever !!! the failure or the success for "The Terror Live" almost totally depended on him ... And he truly MADE IT !
Based on Wikipedia : This movie became a great hit as soon as it was released in South Korea . It was also goodly attentioned by foreign audiences and received many positive critiques from reviewers around the world.
I'm pretty sure I'll watch this movie again and again , as it's the first and maybe last single location movie I enjoyed every second of ! And I recommend it to you and everyone else who's seeking for something SPECIAL and different to watch.
At last let me send my Congrats to the director on his powerful and excellent way of directing.

This review may contain spoilers
<<Darkly Exaggerated , Dramatically Brilliant !>>And here we are with another work of art , from Korean award-wining director "Kim Ki Duk" :
"Pieta" (2012) , which name is taken from a famous impressive statue of Virgin Mary and Jesus with the same pose you can see in the movie's poster ! Before a movie is watched , it can present nearly half of what it has through its title and poster . They call it "First Impression" ! I say "A Movie's Greetings" !
I believe a movie has been started in one's mind as soon as he/she sees the title and the poster .
So let's say "Pieta" had the best greeting it could ever have and knowing it's actually the winner of Golden Lion at 69th Venice International Film Festival ... I knew It was definitely worth it !
Until where a mother goes for sake of her child ?! Well , "Pieta" says it clearly : THERE'S NO LIMITATION !
As we all know , mother's love and sacrificing for her child is surely one of the Inexplicable magical wonders of this world and It's such a risky and sensitive plot to work on , cause it NEEDS to be amazing and perfect enough to associate that maternal love we can ever imagine ! And Kim Ki Duk , did it !
" Kang-do is a heartless man who has no living family members and whose job is to threaten debtors to repay his clients, the loan sharks who demand a 10x return on a one month loan. To recover the interest, the debtors would sign an insurance for handicap, and Kang-do would injure the debtors brutally to file the claim. One day he receives a visit from a strange, middle-aged woman claiming she is his long-lost mother. Over the following weeks, the woman stubbornly follows him and he continues to do his job. But he is slowly moved and changed by the motherly love expressed from this woman ! "
The story plot is already impressive , strong and stirring even in these few lines ! And this is called a real cinematic story ! It's unique , artistic and dramatic ... I'm not gonna write any spoiler just be sure that it's even much more than it seems ! It's more than you can ever imagine !
Let's be frank ! To many people , "Pieta" is not they wanna see ! So if you're obsessed with those stereotype love stories , ordinary melodramas or fantasy actions , please forget you've ever heard of "Pieta" and go somewhere else watching for favorites ! Cause "Pieta" is not your cup of tea.
Cause It's dark and darkly exaggerated , but has A LOT to say !!!
Personally , I think there's a movie you love , there's a movie you hate ... and then there's another movie you HATE but you LOVE ! "Pieta" was like this to me ! This emotioanl roller-coaster is what any good dramatic movie needs and It can be truly felt at this one !
Actings left me speechless ! "Lee Jung Jin" could brilliantly transfer from a heartless criminal to a hapless little kid who's tasting what he had never tasted for 30 years and that's Love Of A Mother !
I got goosebumps seeing him acting like a little boy when it came to his long-lost mother !!!
"Jo Min Soo" was also unexplainable in her hard , sensitive and delicate role ! She truly shined !
This movie might not have lots of background music but I do believe it had the best music when it was needed. And I loved the meaningful silences between two first roles.
Rewatching ? If you're spiritually strong , of course !!! It's a dark work of art !!!
I was really honered to write a review for Kim Ki Duk's Pieta and I hope you get impressed by this movie like me and many others did !
Thanks for reading my words ^_^

Good and different characters structure but you can't see so much development in their personality features as the story goes on and on ! Anyways , You'll enjoy this drama ! Be sure of that !
STORY (6/10) : The whole idea is fun , lovely and different but NOT LOGICAL at many points ! A girlish girl enters a band of 3 boys as a BOY ! I know for asians it's mostly easy to change their facial gender but what about her VOICE ???! I mean it must be pretty easy for singers and musicians to tell the difference between male's and female's voice (It's pretty easy for everyone though!) and It wasn't at all like that PSH has a boyish or rough voice or even boyish behaviour as a girl who used to be a NUN! Don't get me wrong I don't say I'm totally against this story ! Disney's MULAN is my most favorite classic animation , you know :D AND ALSO Mrs. Hong , the screenwriter is someone I admire so much !
ACTING (8/10) : GREAT ! I loved the actings so much ! I think all the main roles did their best with their characters ! They could easily touch your heart and play with your feelings and make you cry and laugh with them !
STILL , I wish I could see more of their characters development !
MUSIC (8/10) : Unlike many others (You're Beautiful) is NOT my first K-drama but It's my first Korean Musical drama ! What do we want from a musical drama at the first point ?! right ! MUSIC ! this drama had pretty good soundtracks but not enough live musics playing ! At first you can see some , but as the story gets more and more involved with the love triangle (or maybe love square, lol !) between the main roles ... it seems they're forgetting thier passion for music , as mucisians ! BUT let me confess something ! Both PSH and JGS were great as actors who are trying to sing ! I loved thier singing I wish I could see more of that in the drama !
REWATCH VALUE (7/10) : Most of the things happen in this drama are very predictable ! But what I didn't like at all about it might be the ending which is a copy conference of what happened in the movie (Do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-si-do) ! I was really shocked of seeing the exact same scene , seriously !
Despite many things This drama is very enjoyable and funny to watch ! cool and friendly athmosphere ! Sweet teenage-like romance story involved with some good music and funny moments !
Final word : reviewing is mostly about comparing ! So nothing is 100% in this world as well as this review ,It's only written comparing with other dramas/movies and it's rated toward my other ratings for other worse or better dramas/movies !
Thanks for reading my words ! Bye ^_^

I mean in nearly 90% of these movies , all you see is a tragic crash of a giant plane with hundreds of passengers including some innocent kids , old grannies and other usual people who entirely die in most cases ! They're FULL of visual effects and most parts of the movie is spent on showing the way the airplane elapses ! But in "Happy Flight" , you see a brand new vista of people who work in an aviation
"Happy Flight" is a realistic , emotional and artistic flight movie which is more about the PEOPLE than the FLIGHT itself ! It's about very ordinary people who work an ordinary aviation in Japan ! And in a very ordinary day , despite the differences they have either in their positions or personalities , they gather together and become AS ONE to do their most important responsibility in the best way ever , which is : PROTECTING THE PASSENGERS !
The most impressive thing about the characters in this movie , is that all of them feel responsible for the tragedy which is about to happen ! It doesn't matter if they're a pilot , a flight attendant , a simple worker at the airport or ... They all feel that they can make a difference in the job they're doing if they want to !
The way they help each other and the way they care about every detail related to the passengers was quite unique , and I hadn't seen anything like that in the movies with the same plot !
I don't know much about the actors but I think they were totally great with their interesting and different yet relatable roles ! The way the main pilot tries to calm down his young and rookie assistant by keeping cool in any condition shows a very important ability of a professional pilot that hasn't been mentioned much through movies !
Dialogs were written beautifully and wisly yet do realistic and easy to relate to !
=> The movie loses it's suspension sometimes and I wish I could see more of aviative professors contact with the passengers specially in the airplane BUT none of these changes the fact that this movie is brilliant at it's genre and plot !
Final word : reviewing is mostly about comparing ! So nothing is 100% in this world as well as this review ,It's only written comparing with other dramas/movies and it's rated toward my other ratings for other worse or better dramas/movies !

Well this is what happened to me while watching this movie ! "Present Perfect" was my first ever Thai movie , and to be honest I was extremely doubtful about watching it . I think the poster attracted me , but when I read the summary I was like : This is a very simple story ! I mean I can mention over 10 movies with the same plot ... But they say , in today's Cinema industry It's not the adventures of movie that matters the most ! It's the way YOU MAKE IT ! And this movie did it the BEST WAY EVER !
This very simple story is about an alone (a little) pensive young girl , Pam , who tries hard to comfort her spiritual wounds by entertaining herself with parties , people , drinks , loud music etc !
One day UK enters her life ! a naughty cute kid who amazingly changes Pam's empty , dark world and I won't brag if I say UK actually brings her to LIFE !
The complictaed , irrelevant relationship of Pam & Uk greatly grows when Pam accepts that she can do nothing but entering her pure , childish world and becoming a brand new person !
I loved the way they showed a child's true feeling towards what most people do ! The things we might enjoy so much but to them , they're boring , ridiculous and completely useless (the same feeling of most adults about the children's acts , you know ! ) !!!
Acting was so good but let me confess that nobody's acting was as GREAT as that little star , UK ! She made me like : WOW !!! she's a hidden super star !
MUSIC WAS GREAT ! I had no idea of Thai music but it was a roller-coster of emotions for me !
I will surly recommend this amazing family movie to everyone and ... though it was my fist Thai movie , I'm pretty sure that It won't be my last ^^

When I found out that it's a long melodrama I was somehow doubful cause usually they're not my type but to be honest the story attracted me !
A girl who's lived as a very - let's say - good and inoccent girl but suddenly falls into a situation that changes her whole life ! She finds out that she can't live like a mommy's girl anymore and this new life grows her up and makes her skin thicker and her heart stronger !
And meanwhile , there's a guy who unbelievably decides to help her ! Love at first sight , you know =)) !
the story is ... GOOD ! not great , but at least it gives you a reason to watch next Ep !
Yoon Se Ah who acted as the first role has an admirable way of acting ! I could feel she was drawn into her character ! The other actors were fine too but I hate it when a movie/drama tries hard to show someone's 100% bad or 100% good ! I mean this is not what happens in real world ! So creating the first male role character as a HEAVEN-SENT guy who hates money and prefers to work as a labor than accpeting money from his let's say - DEVIL - grandpa / and the second male role as the baddest man ever ... It was something I really wanted to change about this drama !
At last , watching this drama be prepared to see lots of cliche but because of the intresting story and some funny parts It's worth watching once ! and ... don't forget to recommend it to your moms Lol ! =))

In this movie , you see him as a cold , impassive , mysterious man who has lost his wife and child through a tragedy and his complicated , not explainable relation with a lonely , outcast girl (Soo-Mi) who lives an extremely hard life with her addicted mother !
At first you see him try hard to ignore this naughty girl but it seems that the more he tries , the more he feels that something makes him comeback to her ! But seriously what is the RELATION of a gang-like man and a poor phatic girl ?! What words can explain their feelings for eachother ?!
They both had no idea until the day (Soo-Mi) was robbed by a fix seller band and soon , (Won-Bin) sees himself trying like crazy to save them to stop another tragedy happen !
But things get harder when the police tries to find out about his REAL IDENTITY !
(Won-Bin) notices that this band has a more bloodcurding and dreadful job than selling fix !
The lighting of the movie apparently tells us that It's a DARK MOVIE , but this darkness is greatly balanced by adding some warm , heart-aching scenes .
The speed of movie rytem is not too fast nor too slow , It's exactly good enough to stick you hardly on your chair !
Every character seems unique and different from others and the actors are all drawn in their roles.
The story is original and fresh and the main massage of author seems to be the reborn of jutsice , amour and sacrifice along with discribing the dreadful , dark world of today's criminals !
I have no idea that how many times re-watching this movie would be enough !!!

(My Love Eun Dong) is the story of that sweet , pure , everlasting love of childhood which has been lost in the cruel hands of TIME ! But after 10 years , amazingly , finds a way to bloom again !
STORY : (7/10)
The story is ... sweet but NOT A BRAND NEW IDEA ! We've seen tons of First-love romances both in Korean's and non-Korean's cinema industry !
Despite this fact , we can find a different and fresh atmosphere in their childhood and teenage love story. Their relationship is somehow-unique from the start and I loved this fact ! It begins better than the way it continues (I think it's the most important fact of this drama) !
When the characters grow up they have almost no relation to their past , neither in their personality features nor their appearances ! I know people change a lot as they grow but it's very important for the stories that travel through time , to let the audiences feel the similarity in different aspects so they can say the grown-up characters are the same person ! The story losts it's suspension after 7 episodes which could be replaced with some more emotional roller-coasters ! The story somehow gets boring cause it tries so HARD to become realistic by being filled with routine life moments !
ACTING : (7.5/10)
Joo Jin Mo is PERFECT as he always is ! I do appreciate his acting so much ! He always gets drown in his role , makes you feel you're watching his real life not an artificial melodrama ! He transfers any kind of emotion from his soul ! His acting makes you laugh and cry with him ! His character in this drama is so active and filled with emotions and he did a great job !
Kim Sa Rang is good ... but I'm afraid her acting is not really , suitable as Joo Jin Moo's lady !!!
It's clear how much she tries to make her acting more and more moving but unlike Joo Jin Mo whose role gives his all to be with his one and only love , she seems cold blooded at some points !
I'm not saying she was bad but she couldn't impress you neither as a lover nor a mother !
Another choice (instead of Kim Sa Rang) could help this drama develop a lot !
Kim Tae Hoon , His acting is really good and admirable but his character seems confusing ! Is he a miserable handicapped ?! A psycho who made VERY BIG LIES to live with the woman he loved and even tried to kill himself ?! Or the best father in the world ?!!! Eventually his unknown yet sensitive character is cruely LEFT aside as he never existed ! (This is what annoyed me the most in this drama)
MUSIC : (7/10)
Good soundtracks ! Still there were some dramatic scenes which needed more dramatic music !
Rewatch Value : (5/10)
I'm not planning to watch it again ! but anyone who like first-love melodramas might give it another try
The ending is ... logical but not satisfying for it's hot story ! It's might be good at some points but won't impress you a lot , for sure !
For romantic-melodrama fans , it's a realistic , sweet love story you would like ! so give it a try specially if you're Jo Jin Moo's fan like me ;)
Final word : reviewing is mostly about comparing ! So nothing is 100% in this world as well as this review ,It's only written comparing with other dramas/movies and it's rated toward my other ratings for other worse or better dramas/movies !

The only thing that really MOVED me about this movie was ACTINGS ! they were totally great and inspiring. Specially KIM KANG WOO who's a chairman who UNBELIEVABLY gives up on everything he has (money, position etc.) to join a union of some ladies who've been fired unfairly ! To me , this was the most inspiring part of movie "Somethings ARE worth fighting for" ! Although this fight against unfairness could be made even better ! the story moves in one simple line and this might cause some to get bored and even DROP it ! but to me , the actings didn't allow me to !
Totally , it worths once until twice times watching ! but still I insist the whole idea was a good one , But the storyline could go better , more active , more intresting and more REALISTIC ! (I know it's based on a true story but some details looked UN-REAL) When it comes to TRUE stories the real skill of a proffesional screenwriter is to make the story more exciting while keeping the idea - let's say - unchanged ! Enjoy the actings ! and if you are a FAN of D.O , I must say despite his small role he SHINED in this movie ^^

Anyway , for those who want me to describe this drama in a sentance , let me be frank : If all you care about while watching a drama is seeing your Oppa (!) involved with a sweet typical Korean love story , this drama is Taebak for you ! But If you prefer to watch a Korean drama like a pro ... Please read below :
MY LOVELY GIRL , like any other media project has It's negative and positive points but UNFOTUNATELY
the negative points were more BOLD (or at least they seemed bold to me) !
THE MOST APPARENT negative ponit of this drama is NOT ATTRACTING THE AUDIENCE TO KEEP WATCHING TILL THE END !
So here's my list of NEGATIVE &amp;amp; POSITIVE points in this drama :
NEGATIVE POINTS (-) :
1 - Many parts in this drama made no sense to me BUT , WORST of them was in the 1st Ep : How could a girl call her death sister phone after three years and the phone is still ON and WORKING ??? (Is there an immortal battery or something?!)
2 - Everyone in ANA act extremly childish as If running a big company full of money-makers is a kind of joke or children's game ! HELLO ! YOU'RE ALL GRWON UP ! So would you mind stop deciding with your silly emotions ???
3 - The dialogs were CRUDE most of the time BUT still there were some good ones like when RAIN confessed he composed the best musics when he was in love ...
4 - Krystal (I can't remember her name in drama) seems as she's an intelligent GOD of music who's not been found yet , and the way RAIN says compliment about her , It made me think : IS SHE THE GIRL VERSION OF YIRUMA OR SOMETHING ? (*Yiruma : most famous korean pianist)
BUT you see that she's not even passionate about music and just keeps wondering around instead of using the great chance she's been given ! sometimes I was like : HEY ! DON'T YOU KNOW HOW LUCKY YOU ARE TO HAVE RAIN BESIDE YOU ??? GO PLAY SOME MUSIC !!!
5 - STUPID ACCIDENTAL MEETINGS !!! ( Example : THIS PRODUCER (SO) SEEMS TO BE EVERYWHERE)
6 - The very first challenge seems too stupid : Which company CEO would make a challenge between a professional producer who's been composing a group like INFINITE's songs for over 5 years and an amature composer (KRYSTAL) who doesn't show any special talent from herself ??? And worse than that : which professional producer would let go of his busy schedule and accept this silly challenge ???
7 - AND AGAIN : How a professional producer could runaway from this challenge and let go of his job , company , prestige and everything just because of a stupid pertinacity ?!!!
8 - Expected scenes ! Expected love triangles and so on ... This drama has nothing new to say !
POSITIVE POINTS (+) :
1 - Rain's amazing acting skills and feelings tranformation which I think was wasted in such a weak project ! In other words : HE WAS THE ONLY REASON FOR ME TO WATCH THIS DRAMA !
2 - One of the dramas which truely shows that idols are not always what we see ! (most of the fans STILL can't face this truth that idols are humans too)
3 - Krystal's acting was NOT BAD ! (Still not suitable to be RAIN's partner in this drama)
4 - Best dialog : One's memories makes a music , then a music makes one's memories ...
__________________________
Anyways ... Hoping for Rain to act in much better Korean dramas , I wanna thank this drama's staffs for all their did but THEY REALLY COULD DO MUCH BETTER !
Thanks for reading my words ! BYE :)

Personally , I think this movie tried very hard to be a HOLLYWOOD-LIKE action movie and sometimes used English language for speaking where it wasn't actually needed !!! (e.g : why would two koreans speak English in Korea ?! ) Anyways , you're not watching a romance ! so don't wait so long for a love relationship between a killer and his next traget ... One of the things that made me disapointed about this move was first female lead ! I'm not against her acting (I'm not a fan either) BUT she really couldn't express her feelings as a mother who has lost her one and only daughter recently (or at least I couldn't feel her emotions) ! Through the movie , I kept looking at the time asking myself (how much does it take to be finished ?! should I play-forward ?! ) And I think the real reason for this feeling to the movie was the emotionless actings (specially those foregin actors who were aweful !) and the very slow progress of the story. I really wish they could direct it way much better and wouldn't let the movie to be filled of too many action scenes to get really intolerable !
Anyways , if you're a fan of action movies , watch it over times ! but If you care about the storyline like I do ... Just watch it once - twice to get the whole idea !

Three people , in this movie , seemed to have forgotten or unconsciously ignored their responsibility towards the roses which are deeply in love and emotionally dependent to them ! at first they seem like the stronger side of the relationship ! they seemed to be more beloved than a lover and it's not really impossible for them to leave the other side forever ! why? cause they're stronger ! they're not tamed ! they're the ones who made the other side fall for them ! but beautifully and amazingly they're somehow drawn back to their weak roses ! like they're tied to them by a rope ! it was the most different way of showing love ! no love making ! no pretty words ! just doing ! doing and doing for love until your last breath cause you know even if YOU die the LOVE won't ! cause we might be DOLLS but that's our SOUL.
