Recap : Chilling Romance (Korean Movie)



It's no coincidence my next movie recap would be Chilling Romance (aka Spellbound), starring my cute Lee Min-ki and the gorgeous Son Ye-jin. If my love for Cha Tae-hyun is subconscious, my love for Min-ki is definitely indisputable. But, a word of caution to potential viewers though, the "ghost" element in this movie is nothing like in "Hello Ghost". Chilling Romance is everything its title suggests - it's pretty creepy but the romance is oh-so-cute. After the disappointment that was Quick, Min-ki is adorable again here. And while I never saw Son's previous masterpieces, she is gorgeous in a down-to-earth kind of way here.

There will be spoilers here, since I do not think it'll take away the fun of watching the movie, especially since I sort of guessed their "big reveal" at the end. It's nothing mind-blowing, but it provides the necessary explanation to our heroine's predicament at the beginning of the story.

Mini-recap : Hello Ghost (Korean movie)


I think I must be a Cha Tae-hyun fan. I don't watch a lot of korean movies but the ones I do, most of them starred Cha. Otherwise, I'm just a fan of his movie projects - they all seem delightful and heartwarming, plus I can always count on him to provide the laughs.

Hello Ghost is a movie I've been wanting to watch for some time because I love the premise - happy, non-scary ghosts turning the life of a mere mortal upside down? Guaranteed for laughs. And I got those and more...

Review: Quick (Korean Movie)



While waiting for Chilling Romance to be available, I decided to watch Lee Min Ki’s other movie release for this year – Quick. Yes, if you haven’t notice by now, I’m a major fan of Min Ki. There’s something about his awkwardness that really appeals to me. And of course, he was so so dashing in Dalja’s Spring. In a promotional interview, his co-star Sohn Ye Jin (Chilling Romance) mentioned that Min Ki is a hit among noonas because he seems to elicit their motherly instincts. Not necessarily how I feel but I’m glad he’s getting lotsa love in showbiz.
