"Don't be mislead. I never intended to pursue happiness." ~Woo-min

Four friends plot to steal money meant for the rival gang leader with hope of starting new lives. They follow through and succeed in taking the money but eventually get caught by the gang when one of the friends betrays. An arrangement is made so that the leader of the four goes to prison for the rest. However, when he gets out, he finds that the lives of the friends have turned for the worst. He wants to forget about the past and move on but finds himself left with no choice but to revenge.


OMG! I have been waiting for this movie since conception! My two most favorite men in history are in this movie.......

I loved it! I won't lie it wasn't their best but it was worthy. There isn't nothing wrong with this movie. Great action, acting, fighting. God, it had it all. I live and breathe these two men. When apart they stand out in their own right, but when put together on the screen......the film explodes into oblivion because these two are power packed actors who never leave me in doubt.

Must see! Fate is awesome. My only regret is that my Kwon Sang Woo was actually the bad guy in this. Usually these guys are put together and fight together not against each other. It was strange. Hey! And what was the deal with how Cheol-jeung was killed? That was a crappy way to put him out. That was Woo-min's job...gosh darn it!

The two finest Korean men I've ever seen!

Make It Big (Ildan dwieo, 일단 뛰어 -2002)

Meanwhile, a dedicated young detective named Ji-hyung, suspects Sung-hwan, Woo-sup and Jin-won of hiding the money, and watches every move they make. In the meantime, the real thieves and a ruthless gang are looking to get their money back. After the case gets terminated, Sung-hwan, Woo-sup and Jin-won secretly go to the place where Sung-hwan stashed the money. They look inside a pit to discover a new surprise waiting for them.



Can you say "double heaven"? Kwon Sang Woo and Song Seung Hun......HEAVEN!

This movie was a fun flick of 3 high school guys (I think they should have found younger characters because it was hard to believe these three were seniors in high school! All 3 of the guys are my age and in 2002 they were in their early 30's or upper 20's. Hello?). But.....the characters they played fit them all so well. I laughed so much because Kwon Sang Woo's character was a boy whore. LOL! Just the eye candy alone will keep you interested but their chemistry as comedians was superb. Kwon and Song are so well matched! I can't wait to see their new movie Fate once it makes it on the big internet fansub rush. Whew!

Ice Rain (Bingwoo, 빙우-2004)

Starring:
Sung-jae Lee ... Kang Joong-hyun
Seung-heon Song ... Han Woo-sung
Ha-Neul Kim ... Kim Kyung-min

Jung Hyoung (Lee Sung-jae) and Woo Sung (Song Seung-hun) got lost in the mountainous region in Alaska with Jung Hyoung even got his leg injured. They keep talking about everything from themselves to their loved ones so as to keep each other awake in an ice cave. Jung Hyoung tells Woo Sung the woman he used to love while Woo Sung unfolds his first love to him. But never have they thought that it is the same woman (Kim Ha-neul) they are talking about.



Never in my wildest imaginations did I think I would come away from this last 20+ minutes of this movie in a weeping mess. I'm still teary-eyed and hiccupping. I haven't cried this hard in a movie since the opening day of Titanic. Sheesh!

Even though I cried like a big wuss, I don't like the idea of the one guy having an affair behind his wife's back. That's all I'm going to say on the topic because I'll throw the whole movie right out the window for those who wish to watch it.

I've read many a review on this movie stating it starts out slow. I didn't think so. I thought it was paced rather well and kept me along for the teary-eyed ride.

This story is based on the old Korean drama standby...the love triangle...except the guys didn't know it at the time until after being trapped up on the snowy mountain where the story begins and ends. The story is based on their stories of Kyung-min, the woman they both love. Trying to stay awake, after a terrible accident, they recount the love of their life not knowing at the time it's the same woman.

Keep the tissue handy because as the story comes to it's climax you'll be a balled up mess. *damn this runny nose and hiccups*

Song Seung Hun

Dang, he looks goooood. Can I eat you up?

He arrives at the rendenvous only to find that Ji-hee is held hostage and, to his horror, killed before his eyes.



OMG! I totally loved this movie. Nothing what I thought it would be about. Nothing. It started out sad and I was sure I was going to need a massive amount of Kleenex to cover me. Oh no! This movie made my morning and then some. Oh yeah! I loved everything about this movie. I loved the confusion, the flashbacks, the whole enchilada! I sort of knew he made a mistake with the "flower lady" and sort of caught on to the story but it didn't take away from the ending whatsoever. Totally made my day. I will say there was the one scene when we discover who the "flower lady" actually was which totally blew my mind because she didn't come across that way at the beginning. I'll leave those details out because that would totally ruin the ending and, then why would you want to see this movie? Wow! I can't stop thinking about it.................
