    A huge fun blast!

    Skiing is one of my dreams so that's why I checked this movie out on the AsianCrush app tonight. It's a really fun movie with great acting from the South Korean actors and not to mention, there's a mixture of Korean and English (which is bilingual). The skiing scenes are well done and fast paced. The cinematography is really good. I think the reason why some scenes had some fog is probably due to the visual effects.

    It's not a perfect movie, but it does have a few flaws in it. If you're a fan of skiing or Korean movies in general, then I think you'll really have a huge blast watching this movie. I think Showbox did a great job making Take Off, and I'm definitely giving it a very strong 8/10.

    i enjoyed this

    Korea doesn't make a lot of good movies honestly but this was good with some of my favorite Korean actors the only negative and this is common using horrible American actors to make the Koreans look better at the cost of the production.Still worth watching
