    Realism plus Humanism

    I love this movie. It's been a while since I watched a movie that I would bother to make comment on. The story is very mediocre, however, it depicts the reality, and more importantly, humanism. It seriously reminded me of my first love that I met a year ago. It's definitely worth watching. I loved it! In addition, I liked the chemistry between the actors and actresses. The characters in the movie matched well with the actual actors and actresses. Suzi was great in this movie...ah....During these days, a lot movies tend to over-exaggerate what love truly is. But this movie gave the audience what true love should be based on humanism.

    the most beautiful love is the unfinished one

    Architecture 101 is a restrained romance film that just delivers on an emotional level. Subtle & pure, as the movie progresses the storyline becomes more interesting, characters become imitateley more personal and you become completely vested in their story. Certain picturesque moments in the film will undoubtably find a permanent home in your memories.

    Liked it and Disliked it

    Actually, I have been watching Korean movies a lot so far. I loved the plot; the change of action from present to past and past to present. in contrast i disliked it because i was expecting a huge turn of event at the end but it didn't end the way i wanted. Perhaps, on one hand, this movie depicts that a couple, who loved each other on first sight, can not be together which is quite near to reality. The life kind of separated and forced them to be apart. The man has to earn more money and pursue his career and the woman has to look after his father. On the other hand, this movie is unlike other films. it didn't try to get attention of viewers by having the same old happy ending life.

    So realistic. Relatable af

    Actors were amazing. But one thing above all that made this movie so realistic and relatable is the little details. The broken door, the Geuss, the cd player. Made me look back in my life and I found many similar. That's just the director's brilliance Oh I almost forgot. The house they built on the island has such an elegant design, I will use it as a reference when I build mine💯
