Sseo-ni

South Korean screen writers and directors have a great quality: Their ability to jerk tears and tuck heart strings. Sseo-ni is one of those movies with such director and screen writer.

This movie is not meant for audience under a certain age. It is not because the content is not suitable for a young audience. You need to have experiences and memories in order to get the nostalgia. In the movie, present time indicates the 25-year reunion, so that put girls in their teenage years in 1987. While the audience does not have to be people in their 40's, the story does need an audience that's been out of high school for about 5-10 years, weathered by life a little, knows what it means to lose one's innocence, and how desperately one wants to catch a glimpse of that innocence one used to have.

So for the reviewers who thinks the movie is all hype, I suggest to re-watch it in a few years. This movie will be a timeless classic.

Or can I call it a great movie because its simplicity. Some may think this movie just a fairytale. But the fairytale was capture everybody's heart (yeah well, most of everybody). For me this movie had it all (drama, romance, comedy, even.. action!), all in a certain proportion that made me really sunk to the story.

The simple character, may we encountered in our everyday life or in our past or even in ourselves, (i think) really made the audiences to stay watching and enjoy the plot. The nostalgic feeling really strong in a good way, so we can enjoy the movie more because we were remembering our own happy memory especially with our friends.

Simple movie like this is what we need and what we can call great. Simple story can become a hit is something.

I may sound overly sentimental in this review, but that's how this movie made me, Hope ya'll enjoy it like I did :D

In a relaxed and humorous atmosphere, slowly send a warm story to your heart. My little black dress and this film are all warm and delicious. Suitable for slow aftertaste

I really shouldn't have liked this movie as much as I did. It's about Korean school girls and their growing up to be women. It's about as foreign to me as you can get.

Yet this, like a lot of other Korean and Japanese movies and TV shows I've been watching lately, is over the top in all the right places. The fight scenes are comical. The bullying in the schools is, I hope, exaggerated. Do Korean teachers really beat their kids up like that? I wish American teachers would do that.

Sunny was almost like the female version of this other Korean movie I saw recently, I believe it was called Brothers. Brothers had a more organized crime tilt; Sunny is more sentimental. Brothers was good; Sunny is great.

But, while I don't usually go for the sentimental flix, this one did it right somehow. It's the best chick flick I've seen in a long time. I'd say Koreans do the comedy/drama genre better than Hollywood ever has and Sunny proves it.

Movie ''Sunny'' I have to say i watched this because i knew one of the actresses from a program, so i gave this movie a shot. And thank god i did.

The movie had it sad moments, but real funny moments too. The movie was moving me to tears but not only the sad moments moved me to tears, the funny parts of the movie did their job good too and on top of that it has some real life story line in it. I cried and laughed while watching and that made me think '' if this was the idea of the movie makers… '' ,then he/they did a great job. That's what i want from a movie, this movie was what i want from every good movie.

The movie contains: friendship, comedy and real life. While i was watching the movie, i felt what the characters were feeling. I use to only love happy endings in a movie but i have learned to like/love movies with a bit of sad endings too.

To cut it short.. I loved this movie, it's now one of my favorites.

I recommend it to anyone.
