Thanks for the memories!

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

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

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

This film, does raise an interesting question, about identity, relationships and trust. It does refer to Luis Bonuel's Movie That Descret Object of Desire. But at the bottom line it doesn't say anything new. Anything worth seeing the movie for. In fact after raising the question, Sang-Soo Hong, the film's director seems to have run out of steam and the ending is simply patched up and forced. As if he couldn't really solve the riddle he laid in his movie, so he settled for the first lame idea he could come up with.It's well acted and professionally directed, but the ending is leaving the whole experience with a bad after taste of a half baked cake.

Yourself and Yours (2016)You can tell from the opening titles exactly the kind of film this is going to be. Black Korean calligraphy on a white background suggests an intelligent and possibly artistic film and the lively classical music hints at comedy. Yes, it's a comedy, but one with brains. The humour is always grounded in realistic situations and believable characters.Plot Summary Yongsoo goes to meet a friend and they discuss Minjong, his girlfriend with whom he intends to marry. She has been seen drinking heavily in one of the local bars and when Minjong is confronted by Yongsoo she denies it was her, but Yongsoo is unable to ignore the rumours. Feeling hurt that he doesn't seem to trust her, Minjong leaves him. Devastated, Yongsoo tries to win her back. Meanwhile, Minjong, or someone who looks very similar, is meeting men in bars and having casual relationships with them. Yongsoo eventually reunites with Minjong and they continue their relationship.Hong Sang-soo, who makes films about relationships, has been called the Woody Allen of Asia and you can see why. His characters are somewhat world weary, and in the case of Yongsoo, given to moments of self –pity and despair. When Yongsoo tells his friends that love is all there is in the world, the rest is just compensation for when you don't have love, it's not hard to imagine Woody Allen saying the same thing. Meanwhile, Minjong, sexually available, yet innocent and lacking self-awareness, could be any number of Allen's heroines. And then consider the locations (I'd guess this was filmed in Hongdae); from coffee bars to streams and parks: we are miles away from the hectic urban centre of Seoul which is the typical backdrop of most Korean films. Minjong (Lee You-young) is certainly a complicated character, and one who doesn't always have the audience's sympathy. A repeated joke in the film is that she pretends not to recognize men when they approach her and . Is she the real Minjeong, or is she in fact Minjong's twin? In this case, the hard-drinking and promiscuous Minjong who has been seen by Yongsoo's friends is not the same as the woman he has been in a relationship with. Or does it matter? In any relationship there must be trust, and that means sometimes ignoring rumours and gossip. Yongsoo's friends seem to be the jealous ones here, motivated not by care towards their friend but by wanting to punish Minjong for her perceived immoral behavior. Yongsoo is punished for his lack of faith in Minjong, first when she leaves him, and secondly by breaking his leg in an accident which we do not see. Only when Yongsoo learns to trust again is he able to finally get back together with Minjong. As the character said earlier, the most important thing in life is love, everything else is just is just compensation for when you don't have it.
