I sat down to watch the 2015 South Korean movie "Go-yang-i jang-rye-sik" (aka "Cat Funeral") here in 2021, as I had the opportunity to watch this romantic drama from writer and director Jong-Hoon Lee.
Sure, I hadn't even heard about the movie before now in 2021, as I watched it, nor had I ever read the webtoon it apparently is based on. But it being an Asian movie that I hadn't already seen, was more than sufficient to make me want to watch it.
And I will say that "Cat Funeral" turned out to be a nice movie. It was a storyline that was a bit slow paced and with little happening actually, so it might not be a movie that just easily appeals to just anyone. But I liked the storyline, because it really went into depths with the characters and their relationship.
"Cat Funeral" has a great cast ensemble, though it was mostly just Kang In (playing Dong-Hoon) and Park Se-young (playing Jaa-hee) that were on the screen. And they did perform quite well. And it is always a treat to see Kang In starring in movies, because he is a good actor and rather talented.
"Cat Funeral" could have benefitted from a bit more meat on the bone, so to speak. By that I mean that the storyline was a bit too thin stretched. If writer and director Jong-Hoon Lee had opted for a bit more up-speed pacing of the storyline and put in a bit more of excitement in the storyline, then "Cat Funeral" would have proven all the more entertaining and effective.
All in all then "Cat Funeral" turned out to be a slightly emotional movie, and it was something that I actually enjoyed. As such, then I am rating "Cat Funeral" a six out of ten stars.
