Mood of the Day 그날의 분위기 Review

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The 2016 Korean film starring Moon Chae-Won as Bae Soo-Jung and Yoo Yeon-Seok as Kim Jae-Hyun.



Brief summary: Soo-Jung and Jae-Hyun both get on a train to Busan looking for the basketball player Kang Kin-Chul and the two happen to be seated next to each other. But Soo-Jung’s conservative personality isn’t going to react easily with Jae-Hyun’s flowery, happy-go-lucky playboy attitude. And yet, it might just be fate after all.



Quick question: Is it a natural instinct to look when someone says “don’t look?”



This movie is what we could term a romantic comedy, but the romance and the comedy seem to be coming from two different angles. Soo-Jung and Jae-Hyun are our two fated lovers who don’t seem to think so, but the real comedy came from Mr. Kang, Jae-Hyun’s coworker and the poor fella that Jae-Hyun left on the train alone.



Chasing after that Kang Jin-Chul kid seemed fruitless, but it was like a fake goal to keep the characters occupied while the movie (or fate, or whatever you want to call it) was taking them in a different direction with a different destination in mind. Isn’t life like that sometimes? We think we have something we are meant to achieve but we are swept into another path? Maybe a different path but a better path than we thought?



I liked the music in this one! It set the mood but was catchy, too.



The ending was cute (although maybe a little expected, given the theme), but that scene during the credits really capped it off well!



Liked this one! I think it’d be an especially good choice to lift your mood on a rainy day. Enjoy! 5/5 stars!
