Ilta seukaendeul (2023)
LOVED THIS SO MUCH. Highly recommend.
Dear previous reviewer. I haven't yet written a review on this series as I'm waiting for the next episodes to be released in Europe from Netflix ! I can't wait, it has been PERFECT up until now....
In the meantime I would like to add that I'm on my 4th (fourth) South Korean Netflix series. Since having discovered them with Crash Landing On You, I have been overwhelmed at the quality of these ...what could easily be described as sheer unadulterated adorable romcons, but somehow much more...We are treated to eye candy for the soul and the evoking of all sorts of human misgivings AND attributes. Plus GORGEOUS (and extremely talented) actors, fantastic scenery, escapism from our somewhat sometimes dull and/or hectic lives here in Europe. I have noticed an unusual and telling grasp of HUMAN NATURE captured in all the series I've seen so far...without exception. Each and every character has his/her relatable flaws, but also their strengths....it is SO inspiring to watch. And last but not least, I APPLAUD the subtitled translators into English of these series, they are SPOT ON! (despite a lot of « Gosh », which are SO endearing (the Americans would probably use « Gee »!), but no matter, Gosh to this reviewer is more than perfectly acceptable and cute..don't stop.
To conclude, I highly recommend CRASH COURSE IN ROMANCE as a get- away-from-it all, virtual visit to South Korea...it will broaden your mind (don't sue me if it doesn't, but it should do if your mind need's broadening !
Au revoir là-haut (2017)
Cannot fault this film
Cannot fault this film in any way. An avid filmgoer for 65 years, I can always spot à boo boo, be it a minuscule fault in editing (very annoying and distracting), bad delivery of certain actors (incomprehensible muttering), unnecessary length of film etc etc. This film grasps you from word go and continues until the end, which you're dreading all along to come (am avoiding spoilers !!). Cannot match some of the brilliant and masterful comments made here, but agree with the one which says he/she'd give it 50 stars if they could! Hear hear! (Oh gee, just seen my comment is too short!! So, don't be put off (like I was for several years) by the « odd » affiche promoting the film, it doesn't imo represent the « pitch » at all.
