Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

dragonofdojima I really shouldn't have liked this movie as much as I did. It's about Korean school girls and their growing up to be women. It's about as foreign to me as you can get.Yet this, like a lot of other Korean and Japanese movies and TV shows I've been watching lately, is over the top in all the right places. The fight scenes are comical. The bullying in the schools is, I hope, exaggerated. Do Korean teachers really beat their kids up like that? I wish American teachers would do that.Sunny was almost like the female version of this other Korean movie I saw recently, I believe it was called Brothers. Brothers had a more organized crime tilt; Sunny is more sentimental. Brothers was good; Sunny is great.But, while I don't usually go for the sentimental flix, this one did it right somehow. It's the best chick flick I've seen in a long time. I'd say Koreans do the comedy/drama genre better than Hollywood ever has and Sunny proves it.

misterkevinoh I think it's a rare thing for the Korean Film industry to come out with a movie that depicts Korean girls as care-free as they are (in "Sunny), and that same movie to become extremely successful. What I mean is that the ideal Korean girl is quiet, innocent, and practices proper etiquette at ALL times. But the girls in "Sunny" are anything BUT those things. Yes, it's true that the movie may not have an over-arching "thesis", but this isn't that kind of film. This is a movie that is absolutely in love with it's story and characters, where the majority of the film is spent building this friendship, and putting that friendship through trials. It may not have the noir, pessimistic tone of most popular Korean films, but it's nice to have a movie with a happy ending. Because although happy endings may not be gritty or realistic, it's definitely worth it when you whether the trials and all the whistle-dicks that get in the way when you do it with the company of those you care about. And if anything, maybe that's what "Sunny" is about. (On a side note, the movie is beautifully shot, has excellent writing, beautiful sets, staging, acting... it's really just a beautiful movie. Cinephiles, eat your heart out. I daresay it's kind of like the Breakfast Club of Korea in the sense of all that youthful angst. It's just a piece of fun cinema that really resonates with that heart- warming-goo)

jokexom Each new South Korean film look me stronger claims my belief that it is for these guys, not a Western film pipelines, the future of world cinema. As in the 90s there was a sharp rise in popularity of Korean music in East Asia, and later around the world, and Korean cinema giant strides gaining its rightful place in the sun, giving to the surface a masterpiece of a masterpiece."Solar" - the film primarily for the Koreans themselves, it their history, problems, life. But it really, people are the same everywhere, and the differences between them are so insignificant, that the story of friendship seven "solar" Korean girls are unlikely to be indifferent and harsh Siberian peasant with a bear and a balalaika, and ordinary American citizen, who in theory are not any side should take care of the mental torments housewife from Seoul.Childhood protagonists not call too much fun, and for whom it was perfect? But fortunately for the girls, they have been a source of strength and joy - «Sunny», that is, they themselves, their group of friends and comrades, support and help, no matter what happens. Moment of parting company I think the most tragic in the whole film, the way friends apart, each will raging river of life, and not everyone will cope with their share had fallen to the troubles alone. A reunion of friends after a 25-year hiatus, not only gives rise to nostalgia old days, but each brings a "solar" hope. After all, whatever the problem, with such support can cope with anything.Amused few local jokes, not for nothing did the film - a national blockbuster (Sunny looked every seventh Korean), as well as theme music - tracks 80th film added ease, which has become one of its main advantages. Special joy - the actress who played the main characters in his youth. In the movie, they are newcomers, but filled his hand on dramas and TV shows, new barrier successfully conquered. And with such success tape proposals for new work will not force myself to wait.Ah yes, who can be advised this film? My personal opinion - all to get a modicum of optimism and faith in a better does not hurt anyone. And the option of initiation to the Korean film industry is far from the worst.

KineticSeoul This was a decent movie, but after I finished watching it. I still wondered why this movie was such a big hit in South Korea. The movie is basically about the bonding of a female High School gang type of group. And the story switches back and forth between when they were High School students to when they are adults. The bonding elements weren't done all that great but the nostalgic feel for some audiences might have made this movie a big hit. Overall the story itself didn't immerse me in this, but the bonding elements for some audiences might be enjoyable. The humor in this wasn't even clever or well crafted. Personally I didn't really enjoy this movie all that much and the main thing that kept me watching was Kang So-Ra to be honest. I asked few Korean girls who saw this and most of them seemed to have enjoyed it, mainly because of the group of girls working as a team and because of the friendship that was built. I just personally didn't think this movie was well crafted with those elements.5.9/10
