HELLO HELLO HELLO EVERYBODY!!! If there are any lol...
Hopefully I am not the only one still exists in 2016 in this journal.
I'd like to write about one Korean film, since I'm a big fan of K movies.
Seen this Korean movie, The Beauty Inside (Byuti insaideu 2015 뷰티 인사이드)
Synopsis: Woo-jin wakes up in a different body everyday, regardless of age, gender and nationality. Sometimes he's a man, a woman, old, young, or even a foreigner. He's the same person on the inside, but on the outside he's always someone new. Looking at a different face in the mirror every morning is hard for him to get used to. The only constant in his life is the girl he loves, Yi-soo, who knows his secret and loves him anyway. Each time he transforms, Woo-jin must figure out how to reunite with Yi-soo.

I haven’t heard that piece of news yet, but surely it was an interesting film. This romantic love story will positively make young people want to fall in love with somebody. It is an important message to young generations since I’ve heard people rarely fall in love nowadays. Being in love is (thought of as) wasting time and money or (it may be that) there are some substitutes, 2jigen二次元、two-dimensional girls/boys exist, therefore people don’t need real women/men anymore. That’s what I’ve heard, and that it is one of the big social problems with(contributing to) the declining birth rate in Japan.
It was such a romantic and freaky film that would never occur in real life, but the funny thing was that all the reactions the people have taken and what has happened to the others except the leading characters were all too normal like a real life situation. For example, Yi-soo is a pretty woman who fell in love with Woo-jin, being well aware of his weird disease that his face transforms to the any kinds of face daily; her mental condition worsens as the time passes.
She has a hard time getting used to it and having anguished days. Also there has been a bad rumor that iYi-soo is such a slutty woman that she has been dating with a different guy everyday, and that she doesn't even hesitate to do so.
The rumor depressed her, but I wonder why she would care about such a rumor. If she had not had a real resolution on her part, she would have never been able to meet Woo-jin outside where they might be witnessed by colleagues. This part was one of the contradictions I found in the story. This kind of highly improbable situation is such a hard thing to keep up with that only those who either are numb in their sensitivity or who are well in anticipation of now and then should deal with, and that she should only get in touch with him once a week or so and should take it only as a special matter besides her everyday’s normal life. If a woman of her fragility (were to) come to this situation, and get involved too much, she’d definitely die of some mental disorder.
By the way, Woo-jin is a genius upholsterer, who mainly creates original custom-made woodworks.
Just looking at all that furniture Woo-jin made, I get full of joy since I love wooden furniture so much!
She is such a romantic girl that I found her befuddled look so breathtakingly beautiful.
She was also a skillful actress that acted fragile and elegant in the film.
Another point to notice is that “Yi-soo”, the girl’s name means “chair” 椅子
In this context, the director could be said to be a Japanophile.
Maybe or maybe not.
