      Some people you never have to wait

      In "August Photo Studio", Delin stood in front of Yongyuan's photo studio again and again and waited for him to appear, but the door that faced her was always cold and closed. After this long and endless waiting, her heart sank little by little, and the taste of despair finally enveloped her. Standing outside the photo studio for the last time, she cried, venting all her emotions on the bricks in her hands, the broken glass door heralding the end of this never-ending story.
        She couldn't...

      Passionate but not provocative

      In the past, I always felt that Korean dramas were always procrastinating and meaningless, but this movie is indeed the best emotional movie I have ever seen. I always thought that a director should be like an artist. He should carefully craft his films. Every scene and every line should have a certain meaning, laying the groundwork for the development of the plot. "August" can Said well done.
             As mentioned above, the director hardly wastes every shot. If you want to break down the...

      old times meet me

      Occasionally I turn to this movie I watched a long time ago, and I can still smell the faint vanilla smell in the movie.
      It is said that the origin of the film's name is because several of the main creators have their birthdays in August.
      I especially liked Han Shikui because of this movie and watched it (in red). There are always people who say it would be nice if the male protagonist was a handsome guy. I think people who think this way should watch the latest idol drama. This kind...

      august afternoon

      I love this photo studio on the edge of the city, it has a plane tree next to the door and a tree across the street.
        I like the bright smile of the hero and the faint smile of the heroine.
        I love the brown sofa in the little photo studio where they used to sit and eat a bucket of ice cream together.
        I love the green plant next to the brown sofa, standing there quietly until the end.
        I love how she grabbed his hand when they went to the amusement park together on the...

      August photo studio

      I know very well that the feeling of love fades, just like old photos. But you will always stay in my heart, forever beautiful, until the last moment of my life. Thank you and see you again.
      I took so many photos for others, but the last one was actually my own posthumous photo. When my smile was frozen into a black-and-white framed portrait, my tears flowed again unsatisfactorily.
      I don't know how long I can live, but it seems that they are all preparing for death, drinking happily...

      A life before a person faces death and a person's feelings... very sad but also beautiful... the soundtrack is not bad, it can make people quiet. The last paragraph of the film: I know very well that the feeling of love will fade ...Like the old photos, but you are always in my heart, forever beautiful. Until the last moment of my life, thank you....

      The August photo studio is full of the warmth of Christmas in August. After the end of the unannounced love, you can still smile and reminisce, just like the heroine passing by the closed photo studio in...

      The first half of the romantic dramas from 16 or 7 years ago, I thought it would be a cliché theme, but the director always kept distance and restraint in emotional rendering, which instead wrote a volume of unexpected tenderness. Lightly intersected, each leaving no...

    Movie quotes

    • Jung-won: [Sitting on a rubber tire in his old school playground] When I was a kid I always sat alone in the playground after the other boys had gone. Thinking about my late mother, it struck me that we'd all disappear in the end... my father, my sister, all my best friends.

    • [last lines]

      Jung-won: [narrating] I always knew that feelings of love would fade - just like old photographs. But for you... you will always remain in my heart, as you are in my last moment. Thank you, and goodbye.
