Nice good story, it's a pity that in life almost not real ... it starts like this ... and then some thrash ... uf was nervous for the main characters. . . The main actor in affective physical form)
I started watching some thriller, but in the process it turned out that the name on the site was confused and inserted this film instead of the right one. However, he continued to watch anyway, because from the very beginning a very cute plot began and the intrigue of the shown situation stoked interest. I looked at it and didn’t regret it.
The story is a very unusual story for life, but too ordinary for cinema. An explosion of romance mixed in with East Asian behavioral stereotypes! Here brutal and tough man constantly demonstrates in a relationship with a girl extreme restraint and meekness, and she, on the contrary, takes the initiative and builds relationships. Quite characteristic behavioral habits for movie characters in Japanese-Korean-Chinese plots. Despite the external coldness and some lethargy in the relationship, the man still suffers internally, just tries not to give the appearance, so to speak, “holds face”, as is customary in the East. As a result, many plot twists seem protracted because of this; many of the problems shown could be avoided only by showing sensitivity or greater courage in the relationship. But, no, “Pons are more expensive than money.”
At the same time, the girl is quite brave, the first makes different proposals and builds bridges. In our age of male infantilism, all this does not seem strange, and looks quite consistent with modern fashion trends. The only serious inconsistency here is that specifically in this story, the man would have remained restless, useless and uninteresting bean, if such a fateful accidental meeting had not occurred. The male type shown clearly does not have the female sex, and behaves in the opposite way to the behavior of an aggressive male interested in reproduction. Even despite the outstanding physical data, in the absence of the opportunity or desire to demonstrate them, and hiding them behind a discreet appearance, it is hardly ever possible to draw the attention of the opposite sex.
The plot includes and played at once many different aspects: the intertwining and interconnection of human destinies and events; retribution for what has been done; redemption of guilt through self-denial and good deeds; gratitude, loyalty and patience, from which love is ultimately born; hard work and readiness for mutual help; chastity and adherence to moral principles. And much more. At the same time, many serious moments are played quite primitively and tangently, only for a tick. For example, the scene of the fight is not very fervent and colorful, mainly only marked the process. However, for melodrama, even that looked too powerful. The nuances of everyday life are also somehow blurred with the general background of events. Even such a serious issue as moving to a new place is shown not as something stunning and breaking the usual world order, but simply as part of unobtrusive plot events. As a result, the fact of moving turned out to be a meaningless event.
I liked that the main characters of this story are ordinary people, people of work, and not snobs and snobs, burners of life. They got used to work and to additional part-time jobs for the sake of survival, got used to life’s difficulties and met them firmly and in full readiness.
Very touching and emotionally played different lyrical moments. The girls are gonna love it. The theme with pebbles immediately reminded of a very powerful film “The Gone”, although not Korean, but quite Japanese, in our understanding almost the same thing.
Conclusion. The film left a very good impression. Soulful, sweet and kind.
It makes sense for boys to watch only in company with girls. Unless you're a melodrama fan.
The most beautiful feeling on earth is love. Sometimes she knocks on the door where she is not expected at all, where she has already lost hope for happiness. Some call love a disease, but for some it is a cure for loneliness, pain and suffering. Those who live in darkness are blind to society, but what is their fault? Those who have chosen the wrong way, will they not turn back? The problem is that there is almost no place for such people in this world. They are harassed, distrusted and often ignored. But life is full of surprises. You can earn a second chance, but you need to spend it on a good cause. Coming to the booth of a night guard to watch another episode of her favorite series, did a blind girl expect to meet the love of her life? Did the former boxer think his dark past would shed light on his bleak future? Of course not. For them there was no tomorrow, they lived only one day and did not even suspect that their humility and soul tormented by guilt, they deserved this second chance. Fate gave them happiness, and we – the opportunity to see an incredibly beautiful love story.
Pleasure is what you get every time you see something close to the ideal. And when you do not find any flaws, the heart trembles and requires continuation. Among the many dramas, part leaves behind a grim sense of the injustice of life. I want to get rid of this feeling as soon as possible. Even if such a movie deserves all praise, I do not want to return to it. The world is full of bad things, so why poison the soul with fictional stories? There are dramas that make you happier. Despite tears, heartache and pity, there is still a desire to experience it all again. It is only when the film is so deeply ingrained into the mind that one can truly enjoy the sadness. "Only you" can be safely ranked among those. All the emotions, all the kindness that this film gives us, are remembered for a long time. And if you have any doubts before watching, then they will dissipate from the very first minutes, you just need to hear the soundtrack Pan Jun Soka. In general, the musical theme here is as beautiful as the acting. Together they work miracles on the screen, playing at once on all the strings of the soul.
So Ji Sop and Han Hyo Ju were very emotional about revealing their images. It was not difficult for them to dispose of viewers, since there was nothing repulsive and unpleasant in their characters. We're not forced to judge them. We see from the beginning a repentant man, whatever he may have done. That is, he is not a lost person, leading a miserable existence. Hero Ji Sopa showed kindness to the blind girl and without any aggression accepted her friendship. He's a good man, he just had a black streak in his life that needed to be lived through and not broken. In turn, the heroine Hyo Ju charged with her cheerfulness. She looked all the adversity in the face, even though she couldn't see it. No wonder the two of them found common ground. Soul mates always find each other. The sincere performance of the actors did not question the reality of their feelings for a second. When talent is revealed in full force, you can look at it endlessly. I will note a couple of people who got albeit episodic, but memorable roles. Pak Chol Min as an assistant coach brought his "good" contribution to the life of the main character. O Kwan Rock, the "culprit" of the accident, also flashed his philosophy. In this film, humanity prevailed. Apart from one piece of cruelty on a whole canvas woven of sympathy, understanding and care, everything else radiated hope for a happy future.
Such an obvious fact can be reached by comparing all the above films. No one succeeded in surpassing the Koreans either in expressing feelings or in setting the plot. Harmony in everything does not require correction. It is beautiful in its unique manner. Son Il Gong and the entire crew put their soul into this love story. Such beauty should be appreciated and protected. What we loved about this movie is just a cliche. Back in 1931, Charles Chaplin conquered everyone with the “Lights of the Big City”. No one will be able to repeat his success. The background of that story is reflected in the plot “Only You”. However, Son Il Ghosn is hard to blame for blind imitation. The events of our time are just as fresh and relevant and deserve to be unique. So why repeat yourself when you can create your own masterpiece?

I liked the movie. There's even a long aftertaste left. It feels like the movie is not being watched. But at the same time, the plot is perfectly laid out, everything is clear and clear, there are no questions left. It was just a pleasant experience.
This story is tragic. But from it blows warmth and comfort, happiness. Having met each other, the heroes open a second wind, a new desire to live and rejoice. But there are obstacles along the way that they need to overcome again.
The only downside, what I lacked, was a friend in the last scene.

I haven’t seen such high-quality films on a romantic theme. A great love story - from head to toe, what is called!
But I must have stiffened or eaten, but I didn’t cry, even though I was empathetic. For some reason, in the course of viewing, there was a feeling that somewhere I had seen this before. I’ve probably watched too many movies.
Ji Sop, of course, great! What can I say? What body, what face, what game... All! According to the recognition of his hero, he has a manly appearance, not “cominamous”.
And then I saw my little Don Yi. I already said that this is one of those actresses who learns and grows with every role. Good for you! I saw her grow up again. By the way, I was shocked when I found out that she played the main character in “Heavenly Postman”! What a surprise! Well, come on... then I didn’t know her at all... this is after 63 episodes of “Don Yi” is unlikely to confuse anyone.
In general, a great romantic story that I can recommend to anyone, not even a Koreanphile, who is interested in the topic of love.

I envy the main character. Yes, he is not handsome, fate was sometimes cruel to him, but...
He has acquired what is the greatest wealth, the only thing worth living for, but without measure, form, price. This is love, the word meaning of which is difficult to fit into the lines of poems, notes of music, on the canvases of paintings.
People for centuries created, created, went to exploits, lived for the sake of loved ones.
And he who found his own man, became in an instant the richest, the happiest ... and it does not matter whether he is a king or a shepherd, he is full or hungry.
I am talking about true love, in which there is no place for vulgarity, passion, hypocrisy, infidelity and lies.
The one that bestows the beloved wife of her husband, always faithful, giving warmth, tenderness, care.
It’s hard to judge this film as art, as cinema.
Script, camera work, sound accompaniment - this is not important, of course everything is done very skillfully, skillfully, qualitatively.
But this movie has a different meaning: It depicts the insane in its purity and sincerity of the love of two people. There is no need to think, think, analyze. You just have to watch.
On her hands, on her eyes, on her touch, on her touching care, on her smile.
I certainly envy Marcelinho as a man who has not yet found such happiness.
I want to believe that they exist in reality, that they exist off-screen together. That they continue to live in their tiny apartment, enjoying every day. A great film that awakened hope even in the heart of a cynic.
8 out of 10. Why not 10? Out of envy.
Perhaps, if you could describe it with colors and vanilla objects, it would be like an explosion between two people. At first it is gray, then all the colors of the rainbow begin to appear gradually, then flowers / stars / hearts fly, and time around them is stopped. Perhaps it should be so, but the reality is that it is not always possible to pay attention to a particular moment in life that will later become significant.
The meeting between former boxer Chul Min and blind girl Jung Hwa was normal and mediocre. She decided to listen to TV and he was on his first day at his new job. First TV, then tangerines, accident. Thanks to such small things, they began to get closer, and then completely fell in love with each other. Their love was sincere, because each of them was satisfied. She doesn't see his flaws and bruises. He feels important when he takes care of someone. It's simple. But fate, aunt cruel, and she decides to take the last chance from Jung Hwa, deprives her of the opportunity to see at all. There are a few months before this happens, which forces Chul Minh to look for money for an expensive operation.
So Ji Sob was spinning his plate - sports, drama, an unusual hero. He is one of the best actors who can fill the hero with a memorable character, which is exactly what Cheol Min turned out to be. First a dirty homeless man, then a sweaty boxer turned out to be the man of dreams. Because he can sacrifice for everything he loves. And the heroine is not as weak as she seems. She's blind, but that's not her strength. Everything around it makes better, even the stone becomes soft and warm.
In theory, the film “Always” should be very tragic – tears in the river, snot to the chin. But it wasn't like that. There was not that tragic zest that came to tears. This film could have been a masterpiece, but it lacked something to such status, but it can not be called a set of scenes and pictures. It's good, but it's better not to wait.
But what is more important is only that and doshould be.
It is a light, not loaded with unnecessary tragedy melodrama with a good ending. History is a fairy tale of true love; love not in words but in actions; love sincere without conditions. The one that everyone in real life appreciates, but which no one is capable of.
The film is about a relationship in which there is not an ounce of inexcusable. The story of two people in love with each other, each of whom behaves as befits a real man and a real woman. And in conditions that break the most seemingly persistent souls and hearts.
Heroes are drawn brilliantly, they are special and correct, which does not repel, but on the contrary makes you empathize with them, comprehend the reasons for their actions and the history of life. Throughout the film, the invisible thread is the idea that everything in this world is interconnected and everything has to pay for, as well as everything can be fixed while we are alive, and we have someone / something to live for.
It will be difficult to find another worthy film about love, because only in comparison is truth born. And in comparison with this film, many others are, alas, only parody of this feeling.

As a fan of Korean cinema, I thought the story would touch me, but I didn’t think it would. Koreans know how to make their films. But melodramas and dramas are especially successful.
This film literally turned the whole soul. Almost the whole movie, my eyes were in a wet place. I have not seen such a heartfelt, sincere film for a long time. Heroes believe completely and unconditionally. Such tenderness and care. I lived their story with them. Those moments of happiness that filled their lives after meeting each other. And the pain that accompanied everyone, both in the past and in the present. I was very excited about the last minutes of the film. I was afraid for the main character, for love itself. And like a stone from my heart, such a finale. Thank you to the creators and actors for telling us such a touching and lively story about true love.
I told you I wanted to look at your face. Why did you make me look only at my own?
Of course, I recommend everyone to watch this movie. I’m going to review it again.
True love is not lost in the crowd. Against all odds and in spite of everything, she will unite those who love each other forever.

She can’t see anything, she can’t remember what the flowers look like. He sees nothing bright and pure in his life and tries not to remember his eerie past. She is smiling, friendly, struggling to live a normal life without the stigma of disability. He is gloomy, laconic, unkempt, occupying a simple job all his time. Both are terribly lonely, both understand the cruelty of the world, both wander in the dark. This film produces an instant emotional capture of the viewer and holds, holds until the last second and even after, because the story is played reliably, melodramatic accents are placed without overdose, and the action does not “suspend” ever.
Heroes have very few words, especially unnecessary ones. Only gestures, only actions, only emotions. Here he stares at the cute face of a girl who came to the guard’s booth to “watch” the drama. With such caution and disbelief one can look at the princess of blue blood: yes, they seem to exist, but who has seen them? Here she, after a while, “looks” his face with her hands, examines, remembers, assigns this memory to herself, puts it in her emotional resource, which then allows her to survive. They gradually realize that the world around them is changing for the better, because they make it lighter and more smiling with their love. But now the heroes have something to lose, no one has canceled debts and it is worth paying for them.
A good script (Song Il-gon) was perfectly embodied by actors So Ji-sop and Han Hyo-ju. Ji Sop has such a rich acting range that every time you marvel at his talent and wonder why he is not filmed in significant international projects. (Is it just the accent?) And he, a great smart girl, chooses scenarios of different genres and expands his capabilities each time with a new facet. In my opinion, there was a rare scene in this film when we were shown the magnificent physical shape of the actor, showing all the relief and authenticity of his muscles in the training scene with a naked torso. And here's what's interesting, Ji Sop having a "face ungeneral expression", obviously intellectual and memorable, does not look unreliable in the role of a poorly educated fighter. (Perhaps it was only in the beginning that some scar was missing: after all, a boxer.)
Actress Han Hye Joo plays her character without exploiting the viewer's sense of pity for a blind girl. Restrained courage, self-irony and humor are the main arguments in favor of the audience’s endless sympathy for Jung Hwa. We believe that her generosity will be enough to awaken interest in life in the lost Marcelino.
It is a pity that this magnificent film is not very well known to the general public, since Asian cinema is shown here only in the framework of some festivals or special screenings. Well, the viewer sometimes also has to make his way to the memorable tapes “to the touch”.

One person once told me that to realize something or change your life, all your efforts will not be enough until an accident bursts into your life that in one moment will turn your whole world around. It is this case that one day changes the lives of two young people, namely the main characters of this film.
Why is it worth seeing this picture? Because it is realistic, qualitatively filmed and it does not have the pathosity that is present in most American melodramas. There are no grandiose phrases about love, everything is proved by action. Wonderful acting as the main characters and secondary. A romantic and somewhat instructive story that begins logically and ends also.
I want to note how a girl, the image of a guy: devoted, caring and able to perform noble deeds for the sake of her beloved - certainly wins the heart of any girl. Therefore, it is not surprising that the main character, in turn, is loyal and loyal to him.

What makes each of us better? What makes life special? What motivates us to do more and give more? A unique character of millions of films around the world, which is revealed every time from the most unexpected side. Thus, covering not only an even greater number of hearts in love around the world, but also fans of romantic films and melodramas. How many Korean dramas and melodramas I did not watch, I did not see anything at least remotely resembling the emotional impact of this picture by the director. It is difficult to say that the work of Il Ghosn’s Dream is a new word in the genre, but certainly this film is something absolutely unique, unusual and rare.
Very often, Korean films emphasize visual beauty and agitation of emotions by means of exclusively visual qualities of the picture. Whether it’s the atmosphere or the charm of a scene. This film of the director Sleep Il Ghosn, however, literally looks into the soul and projects what will surely touch the most alive. That is why if the film and begins to watch as another art canvas, then after a few minutes you plunge into the screen world, not only feeling the same emotions as the characters, but also literally living their own life with them on the screen.
To say that Son Il Gong has made a very romantic, beautiful, touching, life and soulful film is nothing new. In fact, the film is much stronger in terms of emotions and this is a rare case that even with all the existing words you can not describe how beautiful and at the same time unique the film is. You just give in to what you see and willingly swallow each new scene of the picture with the same pleasure as the first viewing.
This movie really teaches you to love and love crazy. So much to do anything and sacrifice everything, for the sake of a loved one. To love, regardless of certain differences of a person and despite his physical deviations. After all, love, if not a lottery, to predict and manipulate the result of which is simply impossible. Here and here the creators of the tape told insanely touching and piercing love story, which touches the most alive. This is largely due to the fact that what you see on the screen does not seem to be any far-fetched fantasy of even the most romantic person. Such situations occur more often in life than we notice.
Nevertheless, this film is an unambiguous stimulator of real warmth, kindness and any good deeds in any relationship. It’s like once again hinting at the need to appreciate and love the person who is next to you as she is. Love is the voice of the heart, not the mind, that awakens the constant buts and ifs. In addition, on the example of the two main characters, this film literally teaches never to give up and find the strength to fight on. Whether it is the desire of the young heroine to live a normal life despite her illness, or the unexpected stimulus and desire of the main character to again do what he loves.
There must always be a cause and a goal that will be the brightest stimulus and is there a more worthy goal than the happiness and well-being of a loved one? All this creates conditions that you do not just observe history, but sincerely imbue it and willingly wish yourself the same beautiful love story. After all, they did not love each other for appearance or other visual factors. They fell in love with each other as they are and this is perfectly evidenced by a very strong ending, which ensures that the emotions experienced while watching the tape do not evaporate for a long time after watching.
Undoubtedly, the film pulls the exceptional acting of the leading actors So Ji Sopa and Han Hyo Joo. Including the indescribable chemistry that is felt between the main characters and makes you sincerely believe that the screen is not actors, but real love hearts that rejoice in each other in hugs and kisses.
So Ji Sop once again proved his unique talent in the implementation of even the most silent, but very characteristic and strong characters. Hang Hye Joo with special grace reflected the complex image of a blind girl. Thus, without turning her character into a typical tearful image and holding my sympathy with dignity throughout the film. Including due to its insanely beautiful and naturally cute appearance. To be honest, I fell in love like a boy.

Always is a rare example of not only a very romantic, beautiful, touching and soulful movie, but also a film that is made from the soul and for the soul. That’s why when watching the tape you do not feel the frame of the art canvas, but voluntarily drown in the love of such a beautiful couple and sincerely imbue them with an insanely touching love story that makes you rethink a lot in your life.
I have a funny story with So Ji Sop, which still causes confusion. Seeing him for the first time on the poster of the drama "Ghost" in the title role, I decided that he is not beautiful, besides this work is a detective, and even though it plays my favorite Gio from MBLAQ, I will watch sometime later. A year later, while watching the drama "The Lord of the Sun" (while all the series came out, in general, a few weeks), on the wave of the release "Rough Game" with June from the same MBLAQ, I decided to watch "Unmounted film" (Kim Ki-Duk in both writer and producer) and was conquered by the main characters. Then, after watching The Sun Lord a couple of weeks later, I decided to see who was playing the President. And what a surprise it was when I realized that in all of the above films played the same actor. So what am I doing here?
I mean, not really understanding how I couldn't get to know the same actor, who I've heard and read and seen so much, so I decided to watch another movie with him until I had time for longer dramas. And the sister found "Always". And how could she not be wrong?
Don't think my whole prelude to review is meaningless. Nope. With this foreplay, I wanted to point out how talented an actor can be, that even a person like me, who recognizes actors in makeup and incredible costumes, etc., didn't recognize him just because he changed his hair. No, not because I have a bad memory for faces or I'm inattentive. Just because So Ji Sop is so different in all the above films that I still can’t believe it’s the same actor.
If in “Lord of the Sun” he is a well-groomed, aristocratic, incredibly beautiful, selfish, power-hungry and calculating owner of a large shopping center, in “Unmounted film”, sensational and really amazing, he is a gangster, a little played and forgot that if you belong to the criminal world, then you can’t get away from it anywhere, then here he is a simple, hardworking guy who combines several works at once, unsociable, secretive, not wanting anything, not striving anywhere, and then sharply discovering that meaning has appeared in his life. And all these three images were played so skillfully that I swear, I wouldn’t know, I wouldn’t believe that all this is the same person.
But now about the movie.
I won't call it a melodrama. It's a real drama. Koreans make exceptionally good films. At least I haven't seen any bad ones yet. They are able for some hour and a half to cause a smile, and laughter, and tears, and the desire to knock the main character and shout to him “Well, tell her, tell her!”
The film shows how it is possible, having lost everything, not to lose the desire to live, not to begin to hate everything that so distinguishes healthy people from disabled people - to read, watch dramas, walk, work and ... love. Love so that you trust until your last breath. Love as you wait, even if he doesn't come back. To love so that you forgive, even though you should hate. It's a girl's love.
The film shows how you can make a mistake, and then try to correct it for the rest of your life, but alas, you can not return it. First you change your job, then you change your religion, then you try to improve. And in the end, you make sense in a fragile, blind, but sincere, kind and open stranger who once looked at you and brought all sorts of goodies to watch the drama. Love comes when you don’t expect it. But giving everything to this love, making a healthy full-fledged person from a disabled person, the love of a man made him himself disabled. And here the question is not even whether she found out, forgiven, will accept back. The question is whether he can see in her eyes not pity but love, not hate, but gratitude.
The audience will ask Marcelino to say something so that she hears, understands, accepts. But he won't. And then our smaller friends will come to the rescue. After all, if a person with acquiring vision can not recognize by smell, then a dog can do it!
And the villain-fate, who pushed them before the first meeting, still, if she decided to connect their lives, she will surely collide them again. And then he may forgive himself, and she will finally look at his face all her life.

I don't like Asian movies. Kills that there is no normal translation on them, most do not even sound in any way, but look on subtitles. This one is voiced amateurly, in two voices that don't go well with actors. There are 2 “buts” and that’s enough not to watch the movie.
But! I watched the movie because I was missing something romantic and thoughtful, truthful and fabulous at the same time. Excellent, friends! This film is not called snot-romantic. He's emotional. It will provoke emotions not only in sentimental people, but also in everyone else. He called me. The main character was played by So Ji Sop wonderfully. He becomes a man’s ideal, a wall and a protection for a fragile blind girl. Han Hye Joo coped with the role perfectly, did not annoy with her whining, was not sweet. All in moderation.
I will not criticize this picture at all. Don't. I won't spoil my impression of her. I suggest you all take a look.
Why break up when it hurts? We hear people’s hearts, we feel better because we don’t see.
"Lonely lonely loner" once said Sid from Ice Age 3, to which he received a response from Manny - "Isn't it too much "lonely"? But that's pretty much how many people live. And the main characters of the film - Jung Hwa and Chul Min - are no exception.
She was blind after an accident in which she lost her family. He does not despair and continues to live, work, smile. And He is a former boxer, recently released from prison, sullen, unsociable, withdrawn. They were opposites, but when they met, they found what they wanted in each other. She is a strong shoulder next to and the care of a man who will not offend and bring a puppy into the house, who will remove the dark paint from the window and add sun to her life. He is the one next to whom he must be strong, who must be taken care of in order for his life to have meaning. Yes, not everything was so smooth, they, like an ordinary couple, quarreled and reconciled, sad and happy. And how Jung-hwa shuddered with fear when he shuddered while watching a horror movie. But, fate is an insidious thing, giving in a certain share of happiness, it does not deprive in the opposite. The more they learn about each other, the more old skeletons look out of the closets, what you want to forget, what you want to ask for forgiveness, or ... atonement for sins.
I really liked the film, from easy at first glance, romantic melodrama, it gradually slides into a real drama. Understand and forgive, seek and find. Is it a game of old-fate that their lives were intertwined before they first met, or just an accident (although we know that accidents are not accidental)? The plot, the play of the actors, small but significant little things – captures everything, and if you have already begun to watch, then do not come off.
Acting. So G Sop - perfectly, despite the isolation of the hero, perfectly conveyed all feelings and emotions. Despite everything, his hero sympathize and understand, and wish him to find the piece of happiness that he deserves. Han Hye Joo - cute, very liked in "The Postman from Heaven" and here played great. Having survived so much, find the strength to be near the man who destroyed her former life, but managed to give a new one.
OST - just wonderful, the music not only responded to all the actions of the plot, but also added emotionality to the scenes.
It is recommended to watch, do not pass by.
