The Restless

Directed by Cho Dong-oh, starring Jung Woo-sung and Kim Tae-hee. (I have no idea what I just typed)

Yi-Gwak was suddenly thrown to the in-between world: a place between heaven and earth where the souls of the people who had just died rested for fourty-nine days before they were to be reborn on earth. There was when he met Yon-Hwa, one of the 'guards/warriors/whatever' of the in-between world, who looked exactly like Yi Gwak's dead lover, only this one had no memory at all.

It's bad. I mean, the story. Meh. Felt like fast-forwarding the whole thing. Lucky I saw it for free at the theatres ;p So, yeah, I didn't like the story, very boring. But OMG it is such a visual treat. It was stunningly beautiful. All the views, landscapes, lightnings, everything. So effing beautiful. It's like you can freeze every frame just so you could stare at the beautiful scene. But other than that, nothing special, really. The girl was crying 98% most of the time (1% giving a melancholy look, last 1% giving a sad smile), what's up with that? (the male leading actor was kinda cool, tho)

6 / 10. Because it was visually beautiful. If only Dororo has this kind of special effects or cinematography..
