      the longest distance in the world

      The furthest distance in the world is when you are in front of me, but you have no way of knowing how much I love you.

      This is the problem that Xingxian encountered, because Eunshu, who knew him, was two years later.
      A mailbox that can stay in time allows Xingxian and Enshu in different time and space to have an intersection.
      The situation of this story is suitable for the imaginative person to look at, without having to explore whether the assumption is reasonable. It feels...

      soothing, refreshing

      When Jun Ji-hyun was sitting on the windowsill and writing letters, when he was walking on the beach, when Lee Jung-jae was making pasta, when he was running on the mudflat...

      All the pictures were clean and beautiful, and the music was always private. , it is very suitable for watching when a person is quiet, and after reading it, it seems to be immersed in that soothing and refreshing feeling.

      In fact, I don't like the appearance of Jun Zhixian in "My Sassy Girl", and I...

      It can only be regarded as beautiful to the extreme movie slideshow

      This can only be regarded as the most beautiful movie slideshow. Not a good love movie.
      Each frame is a romantic landscape painting.
      The director strives for the absolute purity and simplicity of the shots, and there are some wonderful transitions.
      Actors are also at the peak of their appearance. Lee Jung Jae and Jun Ji Hyun are the true combination of male gods and goddesses. What's even more rare is that both of them have a very clean temperament, which matches the temperament...

      Everyone loves flowers

      "Untouchable Lovers"! The most emotional movie I've seen this year! (Mainly, I like to check the reviews of many movies before watching them. If you screen them out, some movie reviews will be spoiled.) The whole film describes the love of the two in the way of letters written to each other by the residents of a house in different time and space. This is Jun Ji Hyun's third movie I've seen, and it's also the only movie with a likable character. This is her role in 2000 and my Sassy...

      Can we love each other if we are staggered in different time and space?

      Standing on both sides of the river of time, looking at the sparkling lake water. I remember, in January 1998, it would snow.

       

      The picture and music are very beautiful. A hut called "Sea" by the sea. Snow in winter. Even construction sites have such beautiful skies. And that letterbox that leads the whole story. Under the long sunshine, it exudes beauty with such charm and forbearance....

      In some respects, Korean movies have handled the details very well, and I have seen the American version, and I like Sandra Brook very much, but this one is still more...

      Maybe it’s really too high expectations. After watching it, I only feel that the rumored love classic is nothing more than that. The spark from the collision between the two elements of love and fantasy is acceptable, but there are problems with narrative and rhythm control. The film can be cut at least 10 to 15. The length is about a minute, but there are extra points in the processing of some details, but it is still a long way from a...

      I watched it because I like Jun Ji-hyun. Later, I saw the American remake. But it's still better than the original. Because of the peculiar reasons in time and space, two people from different times met, got to know each other, fell in love, and finally, the heroine also saved the hero, in a strange way, of course, the lovers eventually became married, and the two fell in love. See you. Love that seaside cottage...

      I watched the 95-minute version, but I don't know where the 10 minutes were deleted. It turned out to be a movie from 2000, Jun Ji Hyun is really not old and boyish, Qian Songyi is more beautiful than Eun Shu 14 years ago (~_~;) Time is really your mother~~ I haven't seen the other version, I feel this kind of tone is still The oriental photos are more interesting. Enshu is so beautiful running in a red trench coat~~ Who can tell me what kind of fish it is, so...

    Movie plot

    Just moved the star Yin ( Lee Jung Jae ornaments ) took an Italian name "for their houses Il Mare ", which means "sea." When I was tidying up the house, I found a very strange letter in the mailbox. The letter said "I was the last tenant before you moved in. If you receive a letter from me...please send it..." and this letter was sent. The date of release was two years later in 1999; while Xingxian’s time was in 1997, Xingxian...

    Evaluation action

    The two Chinese translations are far from the original text. "A Love Story" is too straightforward and lacks the rich romantic flavor of the film; "Time More Love" is succinct but a little awkward. And the most notable feature of this movie is the beauty and purity of the picture. The Korean movies are good at handling emotional details, which are vividly expressed in this movie. There is very little dialogue in the whole movie, almost...
