I came across this film all because of Kim Jaejoong and I am glad that it didn’t disappoint me. Since I started becoming a fan of him, I made it a point to watch his every movie and series. And this film I’m sure is one of the best. I love his character, mysterious, it suited him well. His husky voice and beautiful, angelic face made it a complete package and it just drove me crazy. And if he’s one of the angels in heaven, I’m sure that it’ll be a perfect place to be when earth is through with me. :D

 

The cinematography was well done. The shots, especially in the green fields were the mailbox is, is just breathtaking. I could just imagine standing in the middle of the field with the soft green grass covering the ground, blue skies up above and strong wind with lavender scent blowing your hair. That’s just perfect and that’s how the movie pictured it out for me. I love how this movie was able to play with the contrast of colors, it’s very soothing to the eyes. The locations were remarkably planned as well, they were able to depict the characters especially the lighthouse and the old man’s house.

 

The story is a fairytale with a very simple plot, well written and direct to the point. I like how each character connect and was able to bring a deeper meaning to the story. When I thought the movie was predictable, then it gave a great twist towards the end that would leave you smiling and satisfied.

I would rate this 9.5 out of 10!
