      Cho Eun-soo: I've been taking your medication for days. Shouldn't you be telling me if I should see a doctor or not?

    Pretty Beautiful

    Watching Roommate somehow makes fall in love with Lee Dong Wook all over again. And so I decided to watch this movie whom in the past I couldn't bring myself to for some reason I don't remember.

    I watched this in 2014 so it's not exactly impressive as I supposed it would've in 2008.

    But the story is pretty beautiful for me. Not too much hassle or heart- wrenching drama involved. It was straightforward and easy to enjoy.

    I think everyone has a hurtful past that they keep holding on to and fail to realize what's going on in their surrounding. This movie is sort of a wake up call for those who still live for the past.

    There's 'present' for us all if we could just let go of the past.
