Scheming all the way

Finished and not sure how I felt about this program. Let’s start with what I thought was amazing.
The FM and ML were amazing and I thought all the actors were brilliant too. With a special shout out to the princess, she played her part fantastically. So evil but so good, and we learned about her past and start to understand why she was the way that she was.
The cinematic where breathtaking and through out it as all very convincing. And really enjoyed the OST.


But, I struggle with the storyline and the constant scheming. I loved the rise of the phoenixes and the scheming that went on there but with this one I struggled to keep watching towards the end as I started to loose a bit interest.
Also the ending was left quite open to interpretation, did ML made it back or was it FL dream/ wishful thinking?

Would I watch it again, properly not.

Despite that I feel the high score is still justified as if there was a little bit less scheming around the 3/4 through the series it would have been 10*

Dark film that is all about giving hope and happiness

This was different than what I usually watch.
It was despite the dark subjects of parental abuse, bullying by class mates and sexual abuse by her weird teacher a goodprogram to watch.
The Kidnapper, who it turns out was not really a Kidnapper as the FL went willingly with him, after being saved from drowning by him.
The ML was struggling with his demons, but was able to give the FL a reason to live, give her hope and give her happiness. FL never had received affection before like a pat on the head and he was being very respectful and taken care of her.
The ending was satisfying , would watch again if the opportunity arises.

Film is about a girl when she was in school she got tricked by a boy who she thought she liked, being gang raped by 5 other boys and filmed, this happens multiple times. The film portrays the helplessness of the victim, even so it eventually went to court and the boys all got sentenced.

Now this girl is a teacher, after the event she received a new name and a new life.
And it all seems to start again …

This film portrayed the helplessness of the victim very but she started to change, after on of the girls in her class got attacked and photographed, which got shared to everyone in the classroom.

The ending was in expected but it gave a good closure in the end.

Acting was good, and loved the detective who was all old style.

Not sure if I would watch again but as once was enough but overall a good film, dispute the subject of it.

It looks like animals where harmed in the making

It was an interesting film but upsetting about the animals harmed in this film. The film is about a mute woman who rents out little fishing platoons with a little house to sleep in on the top of the platoon.

The guests to this place are a mixture of fishermen who come there for a break, group of men who get the local prostituted over for a visit or criminals who hiding away from the law.

The woman who runs this, provides a service in the day time ferrying the guest, prostitutes and food around to the fishing platoons and prostituted her body in the nighttime.

She meets this man who came with his bird to kill himself, but due to an intervention by her he did not proceed. She seems to be obsessed with him quite from the start.

Possibly due to the lonely life she leads she is quite strange in her behavior, properly because she just sees the bad in people there constantly.

The film was well made and it shows more the lower and poorer end of Korea, which I find always quite interesting and less K-Drama like.

There are quite a few people who are loosing their life for various reasons in this.

Also the ML and FL have a tendency to hurt themself and each other in I would say unusual ways.

I would probably not rewatch this film as I did not like the animal cruelty, from kicking the dog, to drown a bird to just kill and make fish suffer unnecessarily.

But the acting was very good all around from all the cast.

Visually pleasing and great film

Watched it because of the FL and what a great film it was.
FL, is great as a person who dreams about killing peoples, and can not understand why and who they are that she is killing in her dreams. She is suffering from self harm and it’s been getting worse. She lives with her aunt who wants to desperately help her. Aunt and her Sharman friend trying to help her to overcome her nightmares. A mystical film, that was so good I had to watch it straight again, in case I have missed anything from the storyline. The acting of the FL and the ML were very convincing. Visually the film was pleasing with at time dreamlike state. The OST was very nice as I think the ML and the FL sang it, but I might be wrong. Would recommend and would watch again .
