Classic: let love forever

It has been raining in London for days. Lovers are held at home to kill time. If you feel blue in your love life, then watch the romantic Korean movie Classic. There can hardly be a better way to refresh your first love and treasure your partner more.

It is a movie about childhood, about dream, about us, about a deepest love across the time and space, about the simplest feeling of your first love.

The director and writer Jae-Young Kwak created a cliché love story about two similar lifes of Shy Ji-hae and her mother’s. They both have to face the situation that either she and her best friends fell in love with the same boy or being loved by two boys. The mysterious similarity just stimulates my curiosity and makes me wonder how the director will finish the story.

If the story only offers this old plot that has been shown in thousands of movies already, there is no way I will watch for another two hours.

But I cannot help appreciate the fantastic pictures that were taken by the brilliant Korean director. The sun sets down to the end of the mountains, which colours the whole movie with a romantic feeling. Then all the past stories are told by her camera smoothly along with a strong personal emotion inside.

The poetic lines as ” when the moonlight falls on the river, I am thinking of you; when the wind passes the river, I am thinking of you” become an echo that goes through from the beginning to the end. Its main piano song named Classic as well touches my heart softly and melt into my life.


My tears quietly dropped when all the mysterious things were unveiled: the younger generation's love has been doomed. This touching movie Classic is worth you and your lover watching together–even if you are single, as long as you treasure your coming love, do not miss it.
