Soulmate

Soulmate is such a beautiful take on friendship and what it truly means to have a soul mate. I cried a lot watching this movie just because it was so beautiful. Kim Da Mi is a brilliant actress and this role solidifies her ability to take on anything but who stood out for me was Jeon so Nee, her quiet charm, the ease of her gentleness on screen captures the role she plays just too well.

A well-directed movie, the merge between past and present never left you confused and even the cliffhanger parts were played out correctly too, Give it a watch if you've seen "Beaches" or you just want to watch something that will stir you up.

I rewatched the Chinese version right after finishing this one. In my opinion, this version features more stunning visuals and feels lighter and easier to digest. On the other hand, the Chinese version comes across as more mature, with a darker and more tragic tone. The Chinese version also has a better-composed ending and delivers a more cohesive narrative.

The Chinese version can enhance the viewing experience even after watching this one, as it includes more dialogue and provides additional explanations on how certain actions were carried out.

Character-wise, Miso feels more natural, while Anshen has a childlike selfish vibe. Haeun appears sweeter, whereas July is more dynamic, which helps fill the gaps in the storyline.

I haven't read the book nor watched the original movie yet. I plan on doing it now tho.

Well, I understand why some people won't say It's a perfect movie or anything like that but tbh I just felt so much while watching that I can't put It straightly in words.

Soulmate brings you a narrative about friendship and love in a different view. I think thay If you pay attention to the smallest phrases and moments you'll get just how deep some people can be in other's life and how human relationships are way more complex to understand.

I just couldn't help but cry over and over as I felt so much in which piece of this. I kept thinking just how can we live hoping that dreams and thoughts hold us to the very end. The narrative made me go back in all the thoughts about giving up or not wanting to keep going but you just feel, you can't say this movie hasn't make you hope to understand a truly relation and real feelings.

It was just too hard to not hold in the perspective of how empty the life can be while watching. I highly recommend this movie.

Soulmate delivers the sweetness and pain of friendship. Kim Da-mi and Jeon So-nee's chemistry makes me feel a strong bond and deep emotions.

The cinematography is very beautiful and warm giving a lot of impression of the good old days in jeju island.

I love the details used in this film such as paintings, earrings, and several other things that really support their story.

The narration is neat with several twists until finally being slapped with a very bitter reality that makes me feel broken, sad, and miss my best friend.

At the end we know why they really deserve to be called "Soulmate".

What happens when 2 friends start living apart in their own life full of struggles and hardships, with a lot of dreams and ambitions to be fulfilled. Soulmate manages to tell the story of this friendship that changes or develops the characters over the course of their lives. The beautiful chemistry of a great bond is elegantly displayed by Kim Da Mi and Jeon So Nee.

In essence, the film focuses on the story of the characters' personal journeys and transition from adolescence to adulthood. The movie captures beautiful stills of Jeju Island and the nostalgic BGM makes it more pleasant to watch.

My Rating : 7/10.
