Maundy Thursday Reviews

While writing this review I'm still crying mine eyes out... This story is so touching, so sad, so emotional, so beautiful...

I was inspired to watch Our Happy Time because of Kang Dong Won, recently I became interested in his movies.
What can I say, the story, cast and music are all great. I'm listening it right now, maybe it's not good because it makes me wanna cry more and more...

When I saw the title I though it will be just a silly love story. And after watching this movie I felt so betrayed. I wasn't ready for this kind of emotions that this movie put me through. How to love and forgive how to cherish life and enjoy someones company, how to smile and cry - this movie is all about that and much more. I highly recommend re-watching this movie over and over again.

Maundy Thursday is a very touching story about an ex-singer and a prisoner, brought together by the former's nun aunt. They meet each Thursday to talk and a (platonic) relationship slowly forms between the two. It touches on the wrongs of capital punishment and forgiving those who have done you wrong.

The acting in the film as very good, especially from Na-yeong Lee who played the female lead character. I think the director handled this film much better than Calla, nothing was overdone.

I really wish I could get ahold of the original novel, but it doesn't look too likely. However, I recommend this film to anyone interested in Asian films, as it really is well made and has a great story. It is very sad though, so those prone to tears may need a box of tissues. ;)
