'Siworae' a.k.a. 'Il Mare' is a romantic film. 'Il Mare' literally means 'The Sea' in Italian. I must admit that initially I wasn't intending to watch the movie cos my intention was to renting another show (it came as a alternative, since i got nothing to watch).

The movie was overall pretty well done. The plot develop rather well for me (yes, I know some of you out there confusing about the time line and so on. but this aren't a sci-fi why bother to figure out about the time line and so on). The details in each scene make the emotional bonds between the two characters even strong. The song also accompany the movie well creating some sad-ding moments.

When Sung Hyun died in Eun Joo's time line, it left me with an emotional impact. Yeah, there is other films when the character died but there aren't any emotional impact. In my POV, I feel that Sung Hyun really gives a lot (trying to make smile wearing the ear muffler, drawing out her ideal house and even try to prevents her breaking up with her boyfriend even when he didn't want to).

For those who are emotional, prepare a box of tissue besides u. Some of my lady friends start crying towards the ending.
