Cliché is back!
Yuliet104 August 2022
This was nothing but an lovely story, I do not care if it´s predictable, I don´t care if the plot is sort of predictable, this was so delightful!

From start to end I was caught by the story, and I think the production made such a good job by putting every single item for the blind girl, it was nice to see how she was using all the props on screen. And I´m grateful that mixed martial arts were not the center of the story.

I really enjoyed, I recommend it for those who are looking for a good love story <3.

This movie was amazing, brought tears to my eyes, had me hooked all the way through and don't get me started on the BTS song, come on this was a masterpiece, but that qaz-04733 guy that left 6 stars is out of there mind, must be blind like the MC.

Heartwarming
cile-chan1 August 2021
I've just seen "Your Eyes Tell" and thought it was a beautifully made romance film. Our main leads Yoshitaka Yuriko and Yokohama Ryusei, were particularly charming and their chemistry conveyed naturally on-screen which was very pleasing to watch. Interestingly enough, there were a plethora of scenes in this film where Yoshitaka Yuriko resembled Han Hyo Joo, who of course starred in the original Korean version "Always".

Absolute masterpiece
supergoku-3560715 June 2021
Absolutely not a single flaw. Cast, plot, themes, backstories. Out of this world. I was drawn to this movie because BTS did the OST for it but this is definitely one of the best movies I have ever seen. Also, Qaz-04733, the only way your review makes sense is if you are also blind.

Just a bit better than the Turkish remake
Nen_Master3576 April 2022
Here we have a Japanese adaptation of a remarkable Korean romantic melodrama from 2011 called "Always, Only You". The same movie also spawned an earlier remake from Turkey which people could check out on youtube. The Turkish version is somewhat serviceable and decent, though it looked like a cheap soap opera and didn't have the same gravitas and emotional wallop of the original. The Japanese remake at first seemed to be promising but also suffers from several factors and filmmaking choices.

The lead actor chosen to play the role masterfully acted in the original by underrated thespian So Ji Sub is unfortunately not up to the job. The guy looks delicate and fragile, like someone from a k-pop group and is unconvincing as someone who dabbles in mixed martial arts. At least in the original, So Ji Sub manages a fine balancing act between that of pugilist and broken man embodied in the character of Chul Min/Jang Marcelino. No such acting frisson can be gleaned from the Japanese actor who turned out a very lackluster performance. The other person playing the lead actress, while pretty though a bit chubby, also gave a very average job.

Maybe it has to do with Japanese culture in which showing intense emotion in public is frowned upon in society but this cultural strength is a weakness in the film considering that the original movie was entirely memorable because of the unrestrained and uninhibited emotions conveyed by its two leads. In the original, Jun Hwa played by the gorgeous and stunning Han Hyo Jo gave one of the most riveting expressions of undiluted emotion onscreen while the Japanese actress merely came up with a croak and a whimper. Even the momentous ending of the original is blunted and restrained in this remake, making for an unexciting denouement. Where the film is ultimately good at is in reviving nostalgia for the original film.

Emotionally attached
sakawatmahim8 July 2023
This was my first experience with a Japanese movie. I found the film's storytelling and acting very top-notch and emotionally engaging.

Whether it's through its themes of love, loss, or personal growth, the story takes you on a journey that leaves a lasting impact.

The actors deliver performances that are both believable and emotionally charged. Their ability to convey complex emotions effectively is commendable, and it's no wonder that you felt emotionally attached to the characters.

Overall, "Your eyes can tell" is an exemplary Japanese movie that excels in its storytelling and acting prowess. It successfully creates a compelling and emotionally resonant experience for the audience. If you enjoyed your first foray into Japanese cinema with this movie, I encourage you to explore more of the rich and diverse world of Japanese films, as there are many more gems waiting to be discovered.

Your eyes tell is a Japanese remake of the Korean movie always and as a big fan of always I love this remake it follows the story closely with some pretty cool twists and touching moments Also the ending was perfect and while the endings of both the original and the remake are great happy endings the ending in your eyes tell gives more closure and is a step above the original

If you loved always you'll definitely love this remake

This is a beautiful J-remake
monuthube26 March 2024
What a simple, but a beautiful love story! How love story can be different even when it's simple, only to found that it was remake of Korean movie Always (2011), also there's Hindi remake 'Do Lafzon ki Kahani' with Randeep Hooda and Kajal Aggarwal 👌.

The other best part of this movie is the ending title song by BTS... That's why I was not able to skip credit rolls.

Can't believe it was coincidence 😮, I chose this movie for a weekend chill-out, interested by its English title. After watching, I looked into the director's other works and wow, I had seen his 'My Tomorrow, Your Yesterday' before, and that movie hit me emotionally due to its time theme 🤧. Takahiro Miki, really adapts amazing love story movies.
