Started with emotional promising storyline but as you kept going its getting worse step by step
8 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
The movie start with a promising story about aman struggling in foreign country and his emotional sad story of his mother but in the middle of the movie and when the female lead appeared the plot went down step by step her character was to annoying and irritating i was trying to find any reason throughout the movie to understand why she would choose such a miserable path to live her life. She had a caring father who was concerned about her and even gave her the freedom to live her life as she wished despite her wrong choices and the waste of her life. I expected, for example, that they would eventually justify her actions, like her distancing from her father because he tried to kill her mother in exchange for inheriting her money or any other logical reason. However, the absence of any logical reason explaining her reckless behavior throughout the movie made her character seem annoying and weak to me. So i couldn't empathize with her and that destroyed all of the story till the end.

Phantom (I) (2023)

Unfortunately waste of time
12 January 2024
"What a disappointment! You might be drawn to the actors of this movie at first, but over time, you discover how weak and poorly woven the story is. Despite enjoying Korean movies and having watched many of them, this film was an exception. The characters representing the Korean resistance were so provocative that it made you sympathize with the enemies. This, of course, is due to the poor story and direction. The Japanese soldiers acted extremely foolishly and without any justifications, giving the protagonists a chance to defeat them in a simplistic and poorly constructed way. There were many situations in the film that were dull, unexplained, provocative, and disrespectful to the viewer's intelligence. Unfortunately, despite the good performances by the actors, the overall work didn't meet the expected standard. The only impressive thing was the cinematography.
