Pinanood ko ung korean movie Maundy Thursday last week starring my crushee kang dong won and lee na young. Hindi naman siya boring. Thank God kasi it's a serious type of movie,drama talaga at higit sa lahat maganda talaga ang story. It's a story about Yun Soo, a convicted death row criminal for committing massacre and the tumultous life of a former singing star Yu-Jeong who is bitter with her mother. They met in the most unusual place to meet and fall in love,inside the jail. Yu-jeong is a sister's niece who frequently visits the prisoners at the jail and one of them is Yun-soo. Yun-soo is very cold during their first encounters and so as with Sister Monica.
Yun-soo had been through a lot since childhood,the world was so cruel for him. He lost everything form being a father,having a son and a family,his brother,his mother. He wanted to die so bad that he ever wanted to die with his brother. He wanted to live but he could do nothing.
Yu-jeong has had many failed suicide attemps and everytime she wakes up alive gives her a lot more reason to hate herself and her mother. She promised her aunt that she will be frequently visiting the prisoners. But when she found out why Yun-soo was convicted, she coudn't muster up her courage to face him and do what she had promised.
What started out as a very awkward meeting develops up for something the two of them didn't expect of. Yu-jeong founds solace within Yun-soo and Yun-soo on the other hand too. Both totally different persons understand each other at the midst of death and hatred and with this comes a love no one could ever known.They're both troubled, one who is hiding a deep secret that causes her hatred to her mother and one who is also a hiding a secret that he wasn't actually the only one responsible for all the killings. She found the trust in him and told him her a secret that she was raped by her cousin when she was 15 but her mother didn'y believe her and he told his as well. They continue to develop a strong relationship in which both know won't last for long for he's on his way for his destiny chosen by the law.
I really cried watching this, so hard that I couldn't stop myself from doing so. At that time, that he was called by the guards to get himself ready, I started really crying hard beacuse I knew it was the time they want him to be.But what hurts me is that he didn't kill all of those people. Yes, he may have killed one but if he could have told them the truth then maybe he didn't die. I came to a thinking about Korea's criminal law if it is really like that.I even hope that somehow in my herat he will survived. But you know the most heratbreaking part was when he was saying his last words. He stood up and thanked all those people who understood him,Sister Monica,Officer Lee and Yu-jeong.And then he suddenly called out Yu-jeong's name shouting if she can hear him or see him. He thanked her for everything and he appreciate everything she did for him and he said he love her. That's when it really struck me to tears. To see the one you love die and that you can do nothing and to see the one you love for the last moment of your life.
Kang Dong won did a very great performance and he carried off the role very good that I was moved into tears so much. As well as with Lee Na young who did an amazing performance.
I really love this movie a lot. It's one of the best Korean movies ever of the new generation. It's one of my best also from those which I've seen so far. It's not just drama,all crying, it has a strong intense story you could never get out with when it has caught you.
