Swing Kids

This movie truly amazing. Romantic, comedy, heart touching. You should watch this. Like what Do Kyung Soo said "Tap dance really make people go crazy". And yes that's true. Cinematography so warm. Makes your eyes widen while watching it. Seriously. Good Job Director Kang Hyeong Chul and for all staffs who worked really hard in this movie!

I, sure, have read reviews for this movie before I've finally got the chance to watch it. Almost all of it were positive and persuasive saying that the actors are commendable and that the songs and choreography used were impeccable. It'll leave you wondering how good it is to be able to gain positive response from the crowd. And truth be told it was mind blowing. Watching war movies are never easy; it'll tear something inside you. If I'd be honest, I watched this movie because of Doh Kyungsoo. But after the movie, I ended up clapping for everyone. All the actors compliment each other. This movie is a complete package of humor, drama, passion, talent, and patriotism which will give you goosebumps and tears. Hats off, Swing Kids cast. 👏👏

As for you my fellow Kyungsoo fans, when you think you've seen all of Doh Kyungsoo's potentials, well think again. You'd never look at him the same way again after watching this. It's just really amazing. I can't really wrap my head around it. For those of you who haven't watched it yet, spare some time. It'll be worth it. Just bring tissues.😭😭 I guarantee cusses (and tears) after. Believe me.

A little slow in the beginning but this movie builds to a big climax. It's interesting to see a view of the North v South Korea conflict from Korean eyes. This ain't MASH. It's not a war epic, it's more nuanced than that. It's more about ideology conflict than the physical battles of war, but there's a taste of that too. It's based in a prisoner camp that in real life was run by the UN. As for whether this particular story is true or not I can't be sure. What I do know is that it's a far more interesting film than it promised in the opening credits. If it is true it's another shameful episode that hopefully helps both sides do better next time. A forelorn hope perhaps but a powerful outcome of seeing this film. There's a taste of every emotion on offer.

Fresh plot. Fresh cast!! Loved this movie!! The soundtrack was amazing. Doh Kyungsoo has really grown as a actor. The movie was hilarious when it needed to be but I suggest to bring tissues nonetheless, it was a true tear jerker. If I could watch again, I would, but the viewings were limited.

Major warning: Do not take the tragedy element too lightly. This story is so strong, packed with emotions and dancing, relaying the message of freedom and breaking down the barriers that are set for you by society. Each character of the swing team was unique, fighting their own demons and trying to survive through impossible situations. The plot was original, yet it followed lightly the pattern of a war drama movie, with the ending devestating, breaking down the "the hero's passion can do anything" protocol that other war movies follow. The performances were splending as well. The actors and actresses displayed great emotions and painted the drama beautifully. Another note is that their dancing skills were realistic, as they didn't display extrordinary, out of the blue, talent. Rather, they seemed to enjoy themselves and improve their skills under the circumstances that they were under. Also, the soundtrack was to the point! My only concern about this movie was the presentation of the events when it came to the pace. Other than that, this one is a really powerfull movie.
