If the Sun Rises in the West (1998) User Reviews

Very nice but there are romantic Korean movie better than this

[dreist · 7/10 · 1 March 2016]

Just finished this Korean drama, late nineties. It states that it was for a very long time since I watched films that concerned this issue and above all made in not quite long ago, since my beloved Korean cinema for almost two years now is that the sixties, seventies and eighties. The drama or melodrama I like and excites me a lot, have the unique characteristic that they can move and at the same emotion to the viewer easily, a great merit as well as the actors must also be given to the music. Being very demanding in terms of emotions, this film (or this tale) not moved me much, If Sun Rise Up from West though it has a cute story with two characters (a police officer awkward and municipal simpleton and a beautiful actress ambitious but insecure ) really the main part and very interesting, is not able to hook me than for example with other films of this genre and always produced in the nineties. However I consider it a good movie (even though I think he cut a television rather than film that I have not much appreciated), very linear and you will find some interesting and I must also admit that it has a final noteworthy, with a setting atypical to declare (finally) mutual love

fantastic film! with such good acting.

every person who could have seen this movie would say it has a comparison with the movie (notting hill), but certainly this movie has a different treatment. it was way past midnight when i saw the movie, and it made me wake up seeing the famous pretty korean actress ( so-young ko ) and the exotic smile of (chang jung lim ). i should say i reaally like So young ko in this movie shes so gorgeous. Well, because this movie is such a fantastic one... shall i give in the summary. Beom Su ( chang jung lim ) is a traffic enforcer who has a dream of being an umpire( baseball kinda ) and Hyun Ju ( So- young ko )who is a student who was indulge in acting. the two met in the street where hyun ju was learning how to drive and bump in,which was seen by beom su. later they became friends, exchanging letters. the day came when hyun ju must leave for the states,and tells it to beom su.Beom su announced his love for Hyun Ju, but rejected it wanting to be friends only.year passed by and both their dreams came true, an umpire(beom su) and a famous actress (Hyun ju).both met again and falls in love with each other, with the hardship of being a famous celebrity (hyun ju). this film is such a good movie that eventhough youre not a korean,im sure youll gonna fall in love over and over again. i hope everyone can have a glimpse of this movie.
