I remembered a friend asking me what's my favourite movie when we were on the topic and my answer was "I don't know". But now, I have an answer to that and it's a movie that I would want to recommend everyone to watch.
It's a Korean movie, some may have watched it before while some may not. How I came to know about it? K-Pop fans should know. I chanced upon it while watching EXO'S SHOWTIME episode 4, when they gathered together to watch a movie while answering a fan's question. Also, I remembered that Teen Top's Niel once mentioned about it in an interview during M Countdown in LA.
Interested to know what the movie is? Ok I'll reveal it now. It's called "7번방의 선물 Miracles In Cell No. 7". (photo credit to owner)
It's a 2013 movie, heartwarming comedy and family melodrama about a mentally challenged man wrongfully imprisoned for murder who builds friendships with the hardened criminals in his cell, and they help him see his daughter again by breaking her in. (credits to Wikipedia). It starred Ryu Seung Ryong and Park Shin Hye. About the plot, you might want to check it out yourself~~ Because I'm not telling~~
Anyway, although it's supposedly was a comedy, it made me cry a river. yes, a river, maybe not to that extent but that's how much it impacted me. There's lots of touching scenes, at least to me because I cried a lot and was still crying even after watching it. Compared to all the other movies I have watched before (although most are of the horror/thriller/slasher genre), this one melted my heart and made me cry in the middle of the night. I didn't cry because whatever happened in the story happened to me but I always imagined myself to be in that character's shoes and imagined myself experiencing the whole event. It's a simple story but it's so real and the fatherly love between the pair of father and daughter is something we have and should cherish everyday.
I shouldn't say too much because I will spoil the movie so try to find it and watch. It won't waste your time unless you don't watch too deeply. I think you may learn a thing or two in it so be sure to catch it!
And all of the above are just my personal views about this movie after I watched it. No offense or anything.
**side note: Do support EXO's special winter album "Miracles In December" and show them lots of love!! The songs are really nice:D Saranghae!
