Virgin Snow

If you’re a sucker for romantic drama movies, then this movie is definitely highly on my must watch movie list. It’s a Japan-Korea collaboration, similar to ‘Friends’. The story is about Min who just transferred from Seoul to Kyoto due to his dad’s job. Not knowing any Jap, Min then meets Nanae and had love at the first sight moment (they always have to make it in slow motion). And thus their story begins. What makes me recommend this movie is definitely not the plot. Lots of movies are made based on similar plot especially Korean dramas. What makes it different is for a couple of reasons. 1. It’s so cute and adorable. Yes, the story is simple and to the point of cliché, yet the chemistry of Min and Nanae is so cute. Especially how Min reacts on Nanae is totally adorable. 2. Korean actors know how to express this kind of love in their acting (those \in Korean drama especially) and definitely know how to cry and make it looks so cool (only in movies, don’t make this as your assumption in the real world). ** This may be biased, but I like Lee Jun Ki so I think he’s doing quite good in this movie (his acting not as intense as his other movies though). 3. The setting, Kyoto, the movie shows the beautiful sceneries of Kyoto that will makes you wish you’d be there but definitely not alone haha (especially the scene when Min and Nanae were on their date in the bamboo park). 4. It’s a happy ending, so don’t loose your faith even though you watch Min sort of angry and giving up his love in the middle, but soon regretting of hurting Nanae and running desperately in the snowy weather clinging to his love. Hey, it really took faith to keep loving the person like that. The last 15 min of the movie is similar to Tada Kimi o Aishiteru, only this one is ended with happiness (oops, spoiler, but think only Feli will watch so what the heck haha)
