      the turtle was pissed

      "Ditto" is a 2001 South Korean romantic drama film that follows the story of two college students, So-eun and In, who discover they are able to communicate through a ham radio across time. Despite their initial disbelief, they soon form a deep connection as they learn about each other's lives and struggles.

      The film is a unique take on the classic romance genre, exploring the idea of time travel in a creative and engaging way. The performances by the lead actors, Kim Ha-neul and Yoo Ji-tae, are compelling and authentic, bringing emotional depth to their characters and their relationship.

      The cinematography is also impressive, with beautiful shots of both the modern and historical parts of Seoul, showcasing the city's rich culture and history.

      One of the strengths of the film is its ability to balance humor and heartbreak, creating a captivating and emotional journey for the audience. The plot twists and turns are unexpected and keep the audience engaged until the very end.

      Overall, "Ditto" is a touching and memorable film that showcases the power of connection and the importance of cherishing the present moment. It is a must-watch for fans of romantic dramas and science fiction alike.

      Beautiful. Touching. A world of emotion in the faces.

      I too am surprised this gem currently only has 7 stars.

      This movie is a perfect example of our universal shared understanding of the nature of attachment and love. The classical music score and the sound of the voices of the young actors transcend the language. The underplayed but extremely moving acting leaves us wanting to know more about these people. We are hugely on their side.

      This is the antithesis of a movie chock full of plot and devices; it is rather bare-bones perfect in the references it makes. It's all done with acting and camera-work, and pacing. What we don't need we don't get. It's like a minimalist Shakespeare play.

      What you *will* see are a collection of moments that just tug at your heart.

      Expect this movie to stay with you for a long time.

      What a great actress!

      Flowing like a poetry

      If you like to watch a moving drama, you must watch Ditto. Taking a bit from Frequency, Ditto tells us about love and relationship among peoples.

      The story telling flows like poetry, beautiful and touching, but it runs with slow pace. Well, it doesn't matter with me, because it entertains me with its rhyme.

      In general, the movie is great, even in technically is not that good. But, like many others Korean drama movies, it won't fail to satisfy you. Trust me.

      Good twist to the tale

      I was leary of spending the time watching "Ditto" on the Japan Air flight I was on as it would interfere with my nap. This was a refreshingly nice twist to the story lines like Frequency and many Star Trek episodes...

      Melancholy and sad moments were balanced out with the innocence of the female lead's character, it never got overly heavy with sadness. No nudity and very minimal abusive language.

      Should be in Top 250!

      Why this kind of greatest movie ever just got 7.2 in IMDb (9/8/12)? I cant accept this, this movie is too good. Well, its depend on everyone perspective but maybe some people cant understand its plot because when I read its discussion they ask too many confused-question. I don't know if some audience are not really good in English till fail to translate that subtitle. But.... its depends.

      Let me tell you its story. Its about a girl named Seoun in 1977 got a HAM machine(like army use in war) and start talking with someone who actually from the future 2000s. They became confused at the first time but lately they learned that there is a connection between her and him etc. etc. and the problem begin. Excited? An excellent sci-fi romance movie from South Korea and maybe too hard to find because its rare but just find it. Its worth!
