Misspelled Words!
| In my previous review, the name 'Kim Sung Woo' in the last paragraph should be Kwon Sang Woo instead. I apologize for the mistake! Give this movie a try because all three leading actors did okay, even though not at their best in my opinion. |

It Could Have Been Better!
|
The title of this movie (AKA:A Story Sadder than Sadness) turned me off initially. I decided to give it a try anyway because I like all three leading actors and actress, and also Kim Bum Soo sings the title song. I was disappointed right from the beginning because Kim Bum Soo could only be heard about less than two phrases (I think) from his song and nothing else in the first disk nor from the second disk. I think I probably get punished for not getting the DVD version of this movie. lol! It doesn't matter because Kim Bum Soo has tons of ballads that are better. The ballad by Lee Seung Chul is very good, but his part with the other TV executive at the beginning of the movie doesn't really set the tune of the movie for me. The story line and the script of the first half of the movie was a turn off for me and I thought I couldn't have watched a worse movie than this one. The first two things that Lee Bo Young said to catch Lee Bum Soo's attention would be considered as sexual harassment in the wrong hands. And the ugly outfit that she has on in front of the coffee machine is a big no no. Also, her behavior toward the new female singer was unattractive and unprofessional. I got kind of annoyed and felt asleep before the first half disk finished. To me, the second half of the movie is what salvaged it from being a bad one. It did bring tears to my eyes when Lee Bo Young in her dream (?) saw Kim Sung Woo left swiftly in the same car with her deceased family members. Yes, there are some cute moments and Lee Bo Young looks very attractive and pretty in her wedding dress and you feel so sorry that Kwon Sang Woo is not her groom. The twist and turn of the movie make the movie a little more compelling and forgiving, but I just can't agree with the storyline completely. It is flawed. Perhaps the movie would have been better if the story was told slightly different. |

Awesome.
| I absolutely loved this movie. I assumed that this movie would be another cliche'd Korean movie. But the twist at the end made it worthwhile. The movie was great. I recommend it. |

A Very Human Sacrificial Love Story
|
Although sad K-movies prompt expectations of emotional turmoil, this is a more rewarding sad movie than usual. Ironically (and with relief you might say), “More Than Blue” isn’t the extreme heavy tearjerker you’d expect, and avoids heavyweight degrees of melancholia by tearing music and painful angst like K-movie “Last Present” or K-drama “Phoenix” (both great stories but shred your heart unmercifully). K and Cream’s sad situation is a more a genuine human love, of mutual considerations and supportiveness that rarely allows them to fall far into negative emotion, as they remain fixed upon the other’s importance. No doubt Cream and K’s intricate and supportive bond ship originate from both tragically losing their parents, a love that unites their souls together in ways unexplainable. Moreover by a dampening of over displayed anxiety and tortured emotions, the characters become far more human and logical. “MTB” certainly as teary moments, but circumstantial drama is woven with amusing charisma, especially Bo Young’s lyricist Cream wooing dentist Joohwan (Bum Soo) - the ironic love match. K and Cream’s childlike although mature ways are excellently portrayed by Sang Woo and Bo Young, who have such strong chemistry that they would intrigue many a liquid scientist. Amidst the blue there’s much wit and vivaciousness. Especially Cream’s wily coquettish spirit. Like when she borrows Joohwan’s vending machine coffee cup and drinking from the same cup side, asks him if they are ‘kissing for the first time’. But Cream’s charming jokey spirit is only part of her resolve, as she loves K very much. It’s also interesting in the movie about Joohwan’s photographic artist fiancee and of how she learns much of K’s love for Cream. K is resolved of his death, but so determined to make Cream happy before he dies by getting Cream married happily to Joohwan, and K’s sacrificial love is felt strongly by the photographer. K loses control however at one point as he walks sobbing from a wedding boutique after seeing Cream in her wedding dress preparing her marriage to Joohwan; a loss he cannot bear. All told in flashback, “MTB” eventually reaches a final befitting suggestion that eternal love, no matter how important on earth, is only transitory here. Certainly sad, confounding, but also witty, funny, sweet and strong proof that love is more powerful than reason. Acting is perfect with actress Bo Young (similar actress to Gang-hee Choi) wonderful as Cream. |
