My Review:

I am really very impressed by this movie…I mean it... I did not expect this kind of a story…Just reading the synopsis online I felt it would be a routine story where the photographer falls in love with the boy and the story goes the same…happily forever kinda

I was soooo wrong…The director has his own unique way of unfolding his story…Its beautifully drawn and each characters emotions/scars are shown clearly…Especially I loved the ending…Both parting their ways knowing what the other person want without even communicating…When Be-hwan tries to take the picture of Ryu for one last time,it really moved me…

May be sometimes we cannot get what we want no matter how hard you try…You cannot go beyond a point and try controlling it…Both the actors acted brilliantly well especially Kim Min Jun...

My Rating: 8/10

For me it’s a fantastic movie with lot of emotions involved…I would highly recommend it...Don’t watch it if you looking for something flowery-dovey…
