my brother

Cast:
Won Bin
Shin Ha Kyun

Popular actors Shin Ha Kyun and Won Bin team up in the heartrending hit My Brother! Handsome Won Bin (Taegukgi) is Jong-Hyun, an underachiever whose slightly handicapped older brother Sung-Hyun (Shin Ha Kyun of Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance and Save the Green Planet) is favored by their mother and acquaintances alike for all his sincere efforts. Filial jealousy, competition over a pretty girl, and years of sought-after acceptance drives a rift between the two brothers. As the years pass, the two brothers lead increasingly separate lives, and their lingering conflict goes unsettled. Will each eventually be able to call the other "My brother?"
My Brother features the first teaming of actors Shin Ha Kyun and Won Bin since the popular 2001 action comedy Guns and Talks. As brothers facing estrangement and possibly reconciliation, the two actors turn in effective dramatic and comic performances, and bring photogenic spark to director Ahn Kwon Tae's hit drama.

Review:
During the first few minutes that you get to watch this film, one will probably get bored because of how dull the movie is. It is a "quiet" movie if i may put it that way. there are not much sound effects and the musical score is so poor. But eventually, i guess that's what makes the film wonderful after all. I can't help not to be emotionally drawn with the film for the story is such a moving piece that i get to look into myself and appreciate my sister at the moment. i like the "closure" used between the first part and the last part. The imagery of the camera that was used by jung hyun (won bin) is important in making the movie such a poignant piece. won bin is no hunk in here. as a matter of fact, i abhor his character in the film. nonetheless, i will rate this with a 9. koreans are so good in drama.
