“those who survive keep thinking about the dead. in one way or another, that will continue. you and I must keep living like that. we must keep on living. it’ll be ok. i’m sure we’ll be ok.”
this film was very therapeutic for me. i can’t fully explain it in words but i’m feeling a weight being lifted off my shoulders and feeling relaxed and content. hamaguchi has yet again made me feel connected to his words in more ways than one.
beautiful, tender, heartbreaking, swoon-worthy is just about everything to describe a kdrama masterpiece and our beloved summer is one of them. the topics of finding love and being loved will always be the main ingredients to a successful kdrama and it’s so lovely when it’s done right. it may have been frustrating to not see the two lead characters together at all times but that’s only b/c the gradual growth of maturity and openness with one another only made the outcome even sweeter.
my first kdrama musical and it was everything! i think the world needs more kdrama musicals cause it would instantly get better lol.
i’m literally obsessed with how much of a love letter this is to dario argento/italian horror movies, like it’s so bonkers and ridiculous I HAVE TO STAN! the synopsis is so basic that i truly i thought i was getting another supernatural movie and it turned out to be so much more and i’m happy about that! the score from joseph bishara goes crazy!! it perfectly sets the tone for the film and is so thrilling and captivating i love it. horror maestro james wan does it again!
