Soulmate (2023)

A beautiful story about love and friendship

I want to start off by saying I havent watched the original yet but I may update this review after I do.
Update: ive now watched the original and to me i do think this remake did it justice. Tbh I enjoyed this more than the original because I think the writing and pacing was better. They added more elements that fleshed out the characters where i could understand their decisions more.


Now if youre worried about a love triangle, dont be. The male lead is just a secondary character with a secondary storyline. The main event is the friendship between mi so and ha eun. You see their journey as friends from childhood to adulthood. Its by no means an easy journey as they drift apart often but in the end they always find their way back to each other. This isnt exactly a sapphic movie either but its a beautiful love story about a female friendship.

I really wanted to watch this movie cause of kim dami and jeon so nee and they did not disappoint. They portrayed their roles perfectly and they had great chemistry. I also liked the directing as it felt really raw and brought out the actresses strengths. It had an independent film feel to it.

I will also say to bring tissues as this film may make you cry.

I really enjoyed this movie as a coming of age story about a female friendship and would recommend for the story and acting.

If you wanna cry and feel something within you that makes your body throb of feelings

In the beginning I was really trying to predict what the movie was about, before actually watching I knew it was going to be a sad ending since I heard something along the lines since it's a popular movie rn. It was such a good movie I didn't even think of these types of scenes I was so shocked to see two different scene of the same scene, if that makes sense. Literally threw me off making me cry. Also, I've never seen a bond so close, I thought they weren't going to be friends anymore multiple times but then they just understood each other it really made me look at my old relationships with my friends that I'd lost threw the year :( The ending was really sad they really fooled me with that phone call thinking she actually called her, but then it showed the actual scene AGH I can't with these movies, makes me feel hallow inside feeling guilty, I need to rewatch strong women do bong soon....
