This Charming Girl by Yoon-ki Lee (2004, South Korea)



I'm not gonna lie, this movie was pretty fucking boring at first, but I decided to stick with it, and was duly rewarded. The ending climax was intense and I loved every moment of it. When I looked back I realise how smart the plot and screenplay is. From the minimal editing and dialog to the cuts and the camera shots that linger around, everything all seems thought out perfectly. Wonderful acting by Kim Ji-soo, she displayed a wide range of emotion so effortlessly, and is the sole reason I stayed watching the entire time (she charmed me). This is a brilliant character study piece, with a rewarding finish.

4/5 stars
