The Films of Director Jae Young Kwak

OMG This director is amazing! That's three completely different films of his i've watched - 'Windstruck' 'My Sassy Girl', and this one 'The Classic'....which is the slowest and more romantic...but has some breathtaking scenes like 'The Road Home'. Loving this film....and once again i didn't think it would be anything special at the start. Love how the western music fits into some scenes. Hippy Hippy Shake dance is awesome.

You know those films where you know where it's going......Well, this ISN'T one of them. It started off a 2 and a half star film (above average), and then proceeded to knock me off my feet. I'd spoil it if i said anything else. I'm now a fan of this director - his films all seem to take a little while to hook you in, but the experience is worth it....and fun. This is my favorite Jae-Young Kwak picture so far.

I can't remember the last time i had so much FUN enjoying a martial arts COMEDY..it's Fun Fun Fun.....Lighthearted and funny...I didn't want it to end. One of the key factors for me is Min-a Shin (the leading lady) - unlike the bossy drunk of 'My Sassy Girl' (very good film) and unlike the almost emotionless girl in 'Cyborg She' (Another good one)....THIS girl is bubbly to the extent that it almost makes me smile. Kwan Jae-Young doesn't make BAD movies. This is my 5th look at his work, and i'm pleased to say i love all of them. And guess what? Yes, it's different again! If you want Fun....well you can't go wrong with 'My Mighty Princess'. Look out for the same driver in the car, the taxi, the bus.....LOL Oh....and even the 'flying' bits are ok.....because it's a comedy. There are some serious parts of course. Nothing is straightforward!

Not your ordinary run of the mill love story! Pleasently surprised how involving this movie was. The girl's got deep hurt inside her, and she takes it out on the guy (Who's nuts to stick around after their first encounter). But i think her unpredictable behaviour makes him too curious to leave. There were a lot of wtf moments (the solider etc)....and although the 'hitting' was childish and a bit random, there was some humour as well as some small shocks.....which reminds me....i thought the girl on the blind date was just too fit for that to happen!

Ok, this is my 4th Kwak Jae-Young film.....and it was the hardest to rate.

Once again, this was different from the other three - ( The Classic / Windstruck / and My Sassy Girl ). There are some wtf moments.....and sudden things that happen which must be a trademark of this brilliant director. And you can not say this is just a dumb terminator rip off....this film seems like 3 films sometimes....you think it's going to be a comedy love story.....then you think it's a terminator spin off.....then you think....well i won't spoil it. I was very satisfied with the ending.....very cool. My advice would be - Please watch the other three films mentioned first. There's always a lot to admire and take in in his films....but you could never say that any of them are samey! btw - 3 stars.....GOOD Film. Oh, the last 30 minutes are VERY Good.
