Audience Member I wish it would have ended 15 minutes sooner, at its most cynical moment, but "One Fine Spring Day" remains real and ballsy to its end. I appreciated the modesty and its honest look at emotional attachments and detachments. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Loved every minute of this. Hur Jin-ho sure knows how to capture true emotions and the highs and lows of a relationship (as seen in April Snow, and Happiness, among others). This film isn't your typical romance, nothing cliche about it. In fact, it's more of a rare insight into the feelings of two very different individuals, how they embrace their relationship, and how they try to develop it. I couldn't have thought of better leads than Yu Ji-tae and Lee Yeong-ae; the chemistry on screen was just so genuine, unbelievable! Lastly, cinematography must be complemented, with some memorable scenes such as the one in the bamboo forest and of course, the closing scene. Do give this a chance, I daresay it would be the one of the best films that Hur Jin-ho has made. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a quiet film that has a lot to say about relationships.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member very very realistic very deep and very touching!i liked it so much but was disturbed by the way it s realised.it s very closed to reality in many ways and that makes it powerful.however it s not for everyone but it s beautiful!it s funny how women can play with men sometimes .LIke his grandma said "buses and women are all the same once they live they will never stop for you ". Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Two words : See This...This beautiful haunting love story has some of the most breathtaking visual images to be captured on cinema. Not in terms of its magnanimity but for its striking appeal even in the smallest of things. Minimalistic dialogue and zero sub plots. A simple but powerful film that echoes the thoughts of Lord Tennyson, "Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all". Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
