The Korean man who directed this movie made a big splash at Cannes? I haven't heard that piece of news yet, but surely it was an interesting film. This romantic love story will positively make young people want to fall in love with somebody. It is an important message to young generations since I've heard people rarely fall in love nowadays. Being in love is thought of as wasting time and money it maybe that there are some substitutes, 2jigen 二次元、two-dimensional girls/boys, therefore people don't need real women/men anymore. That's what I've heard, and that it is one of the big social problems with contributing to the declining birth rate in Japan.
It was such a romantic and freaky film that would never occur in real life, but the funny thing was that all the reactions the people have taken and what happened to the others except the leading characters were all too normal like a real life situation. For example, Yi-soo is a pretty woman who fell in love with Woo-jin, being well aware of his weird disease that his face transforms to any kind of face daily; her mental condition worsen as the time passes. She has hard time getting used to it and having anguished days. Also there has been a bad rumor that Yi-soo is such a slutty woman that she has been dating with a different guy everyday, and that she doesn't even hesitate to do so. The rumor depressed her, but I wonder why she would care about such a rumor. If she had not had a real resolution on her part, she would have never been able to meet Woo-jin outside where they might be witnessed by colleagues. This part was one of the contradictions I found in the story. This kind of highly improbable situation is such a hard thing to keep up with that only those who either are numb in their sensitivity or who are well in anticipation of now and then should deal with, and that she should only get in touch with him once a week or so and should take it only as a special matter besides her everyday's normal life. If a woman of her fragility come to this situation, and get involved too much, she'd definitely die by mental disorder.
By the way, Woo-jin is a genius upholsterer, who mainly creates original custom-made woodworks. They were so beautiful. Just looking at all those furniture Woo-jin made, I get full of joy since I love wooden furniture so much!
The actress, Hyo-ju Han is beautiful. Her type of woman is hardly seen in Japan for some reason. She is one romantic girl that I found her befuddled look so breathtakingly beautiful. She was also a skillful actress that acted fragile and elegant woman in the film.
Another point to notice is that "Yi-soo", the girl's name means "chair" 椅子 in Japanese I believed was not a pun, but could be a pun since Ueno Juri上野樹里(Nodame, my icon), a Japanse actress was starring in the film as one of the Woo-jin's most important transformers. In this context, the director could be said to be a Japanophile. Maybe or maybe not.
