I watched "Untouchable Lover" at night, and I never watched it because I was afraid it was just a very old-fashioned tear-jerking Korean drama, but I tried watching it after being recommended by many people, and it was really good!
Although the first three copies were a bit slow, each scene was as beautiful as a painting!
It's just that the setting is a bit fake, how can an ordinary girl afford to live in such a chic seaside cottage alone? And Jeju Island is as beautiful as Maldives! That's all, the pictures are good, so I'll let them go.

The story is okay, Korean directors like to focus on the details, "My Sassy Girl" has amazing echoes, "3-iron (Sensory Paradise)" integrates surreal settings into reality, and there are many criticisms about good and evil It is highlighted by the conflict between reality and surreal.
The same is true for "Untouchable Lovers". There is nothing special about the development of the story, but there are many details that are very interesting. Because of the rich seasoning, a simple toast has become exquisite.
The only surprise is the ending.
Originally thought that the man would die, thus creating a tear-jerking position, I wanted to sigh that it was inevitable, but now I feel better, although it is not unexpected.
On the contrary, the director may want to use "memory" and "love" as the theme, but it seems that he can't express it deeply.

If it really ends with the death of the male protagonist, it seems to be a little too beautified of life, even "people".
"Death" makes people powerless. As long as the storyteller uses "death" to deprive people of the opportunity to move, people will become pitiful, and we will have another excuse to put the blame on fate.
In fact, in reality, the most unpredictable and cruel thing is the human heart, not destiny.
In addition to "running away" In addition, you can also say cruel words, change your mind inexplicably, change your mind when you see different things, repay virtue with resentment, and have a bad heart in the first place. Of course, the world is showing incomplete stories every day.

    The slow pace of Korean movies made me unable to find North in the first 20 minutes, but the tight and soothing narrative made people blend into the interlaced time and space bit by bit. In this world, there are three things that cannot be covered-cough , Poverty and love. You want to hide, but you want to cover it up. No matter where you are in the world, no matter what your emotional status is, please believe that someone silently loves you in another time and space, the guardian of you.

    Distance is sometimes the biggest test of love. What impressed me was the last remark of the ex-boyfriend, "A person is lonely and lonely in the distance, if you were with me at that time, it would be fine." At the same time, everyone will have some memories that they want to change, but the screenwriter through this film gives everyone a chance to enjoy the regret medicine, but let go of the memories but there is a new bright future waiting for us. This is an incredible story.
