What I Think:
Oh My God! As much as I love Son Ye Jin (She is like in my top 5 most fave Korean actresses list) April Snow is so disappointing. I just want to give my kinda unbiased review. I think this movie is just so hyped up because it stars Korean wave actor, BaeYong Jun and Son Ye Jin. The music, well I think the background music doesn't help at all, zest is lacking in there. The scenery, oh okay, the scenery is good! The snow in the middle of April thing is good. The whole feel of the film is just plain sad. The first part of the film is so dragging, there were lots of scenes where all I heard was dead silence. Tsk Tsk Tsk.
Stuff worth mentioning? Hmmm let me think. Bae Yong Jun and Son Ye Jin has little chemistry going on that's the good part, at least they've got something going on. The scene where Seo-young showed In-soo the videos of his wife in bed with Seo-young's husband, he was so sad and angry all together there. All their love scenes okay Bae Yong Jun's hot bod; I didn't know that all those muscles were hidden underneath those sweaters. ļ Hehehee..and Son Ye Jin too was hmm shall we say very beautiful indeed. Nah, you just watch those scenes for yourself, Bae Yong Jun was all over her!
I so didn't get the ending.. But I reckon that In-soo divorced or left his unfaithful wife (they had a serious talk in that one scene remember...) then both In-soo and Seo-young, after they both see the snow in mid-April, they meet together again..
