#252 A Bittersweet Life

PhotobucketPhotobucket
Hard action movie! If You like action you must watch it!! And bloood LOL. Why the troubles always begin by a girl? I don't know which movie but there was a movie i watched before and its just like this one! You had to finish it but you can't and fall in love and get in trouble. So simple story actually!

Main star Lee Byung-hun stealing the show with his action scenes! Painfull when he lost his finger. Bloody! I saw him in Everybody has Secret before. He's so man when he don't smile! LOL. But really great performance!
Only one female in here actually.. Shin Min-ah. She's the key to all the troubles. Saw her in Volcano High Before and she was in A Love To Kill with Rain. Well i like her long hair but i think she's not so pretty like other Korean stars :S
Eric Moon only have a guest appearence of 15 minutes! First i dont recognize him but later HAHAHHA Its that hot boy from Diary Of June LOL

I Love the following lines. The last sentence of the movie

One late autumn night, the disciple awoke crying. So the master asked the disciple, "Did you have a nightmare?"
"No."
"Did you have a sad dream?"
"No", said the disciple. "I had a sweet dream."
"Then why are you crying so sadly?"
The disciple wiped his tears away and quietly answered, "Because the dream I had can’t come true."

And its so trueeeeeeeeeeeee ^^
