Orion P Great film! I really loved it. The only thing which I didn't like about this one is that there wasn't a happy ending. Feel unfair for lead characters. Neither it went justifying. The one who missed the shot and MLC got hit, and died, that person kept living peacefully. But he regretted that though. It was too much of emotional movie and kinda overdose of emotions. Funny scenes were funny as hell and emotional scenes were more than hell actually. Despite, I loved that the MLC comes back as if in someone else. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/20/24 Full Review Azizkhuja T "Windstruck" (2004), a South Korean cinematic gem directed by Kwak Jae-yong, is a heartfelt and enchanting romantic drama that leaves an indelible mark on its viewers. The film beautifully intertwines elements of romance, comedy, and tragedy, making it a unique and compelling watch. Starring the charismatic Jun Ji-hyun as the spirited police officer Yeo Kyung-jin, and the charming Jang Hyuk as the physics teacher Go Myung-woo, "Windstruck" delivers an unforgettable love story that transcends the boundaries of life and death. Jun Ji-hyun delivers a stellar performance, bringing to life a character that is both strong-willed and vulnerable, making audiences laugh and cry with her journey. Jang Hyuk complements her perfectly, portraying a love that is pure and selfless. Their chemistry is palpable, making every moment they share on screen magical. The cinematography is breathtaking, with each frame beautifully capturing the essence of the characters' emotions and the narrative's mood swings. The soundtrack further enhances the viewing experience, with its poignant and memorable tracks that resonate with the story's highs and lows. "Windstruck" masterfully navigates through its plot, blending lighthearted moments with profound emotional depth. The film's unique approach to depicting the love story, including its whimsical and touching representation of the afterlife connection between the protagonists, sets it apart from conventional romantic dramas. Though "Windstruck" may draw initial comparisons to its predecessor, "My Sassy Girl," also directed by Kwak Jae-yong and starring Jun Ji-hyun, it stands on its own as a poignant and beautifully crafted film. It takes viewers on a rollercoaster of emotions, from the exhilaration of new love to the depths of sorrow and back, leaving them inspired by the enduring power of love. In conclusion, "Windstruck" is a must-watch for anyone who believes in the everlasting bond of love. It's a film that not only entertains but also touches the heart, reminding us of the strength and resilience of the human spirit. With its exceptional cast, stunning visuals, and a story that captures the imagination, "Windstruck" is a cinematic triumph that continues to enchant audiences worldwide.
