Roxanne Sep 23 2020 3:51 pm I love the story, the casts, songs, twists & plots. Everything is Perfect! Reminds me of my bestfrnd before. Haha.

Ockanna Aug 16 2020 11:38 pm Yes,, Yeonhee was wrong because she "stole" her BFF's boyfriend whatsoever but hey, did you all forget that Soyul originally wanted to be pop singer too, which mean she would made same choice as Yeonhee's. And Yoonwoo did betrayed her for everything but i did not think that all of that justified Soyool wrongdoings.

hana Apr 20 2020 9:04 am its all about sacrifice.. when person tend to change because of promise broke and even until last she still seeing as evil and those cheater still do not want admit that all happened because of them!! I hate those kind of people.. when promise made, then you should keep it until you grant it! Soo Yul deserves a better man here..

one thing I got from this movie is never trust people 100% even you called it best friend or love, you never know what the future brings you.. so keep the trust as possible it required. World is scary!

19virus Mar 30 2020 9:03 am I love this movie, its hurt to watch but worthy to say its a masterpiece. the actresses picturing their role marvelously. Great job for the actresses.

Anan Mar 24 2020 12:55 am i'm just relieved that many shared the same view as me that so yool is the real victim here. Like she was betrayed over and over from the beginning. When yoon woo promised to make her his singer and make a song just for her. When yeon hee betrayed her by leaving the house and when they DARED cheated on her like WTFFF. She kept holding it in but the moment she saw them kiss, she just snapped hard. I'm just pissed that the cheaters never wanted to admit their wrongs and never apologized in front of her. Like i loveee yoo yeonseok but ughhh i just hate him here lol. So yool deserved a happy happy ending

Memms Oct 03 2019 1:30 pm Basically a movie about woman who's cheated by her boyfriend with her own bestfriend.

The fckry is, those cheaters; the backstabber and the liar fckboy got a beautiful ending as if they are the victims all along, while the lead character who is wronged from the start 'til the end got such a tragic ending. WHAT THE F? I don't justify her revenge, sure she was wrong on so many levels. But she had her reasons.

Meanwhile, those cheaters treated like they had the most beautiful love story made in heaven.

PLUS Yeonhee already betrayed So Yool by breaking their promises as Gisaengs. And from the beginning 'til the end, she didn't feel guilty AT ALL.

But still, a VERY BEAUTIFUL movie.

Silk Sep 15 2019 2:35 am It's ironic how Yoon woo and Yeon Hee was all about bringing comfort to the Koreand when they cant even be honest with So Yool and act like they r always right and she is evil. They hurt her so so so so so so so much. It's funny how they believe they are the good people and be melancholic when someone is ripped into shreds because of their selfish actions. Smh.

sheh May 28 2019 8:40 pm the man wasn't even her lover, he was a friend/suitor, and then she went mad.

Linda May 01 2019 4:06 pm Thought this was a sad movie but do not understand why everybody thinks that the two lovers deserved what they got. I have never seen such vindictiveness and pettiness in one character. This is not love. This is pure green jealousy. No one deserves their lives to be destroyed as this young woman did to these two. I have no pity for her.

Heity Jan 20 2019 1:59 am i've just watched Han Yoo Joo's movie called "The Beauty Inside" and Idk it's a bit funny for me that both Yoo Yeon Seok and Chun Woo Hee played as Woo Jin there... So don't worry, the three of them will tangled up again in the future ???

Kaeroul Jul 27 2018 11:44 pm A worthy movie to watch. I can really understand why so yool revenge since the two people she trusted the most betrayed her. It’s like something inside her snapped when she first saw them kissing. I can also feel the emotions from so yool’s love lies song. Very emotional. And i think so yool looks more suitable with the commissioner than with yo woon? Haha. Wtv it is, recommended to watch

FedoraHat Mar 16 2018 6:19 pm This is a rich tapestry of a film with some feminist themes that aren't always seen in Korean movie fare. I like stories from Korea based on the time when Japan occupied Korea from the 1910's through the 1940's because we don't see those stories too often either. That's one of the reasons I loved Bridal Mask and Chicago Typewriter as well. Han Hyo Joo as the leading lady is compelling and gives one of her best performances, I found it hard to side with the other two who truly betrayed her and then acted like she shouldn't be upset about it, should just get over it and support them. Why? They weren't sacrificial toward her, so why should she be toward them? I did love all the music in the film and wish there was much more traditional folk singing than depicted. I give the film an A. There's some risqué material but it's more suggestive than explicit. I'd say anyone over 17 should be able to see it but perhaps with a guardian overseeing.

Mary Fathy Mar 07 2018 11:47 pm I really feel the pain of han hyoo joo in this movie and for me this is the best movie. Ang dami kung nagamit na tears sa movie nato.

Yong Jan 17 2018 9:20 pm I think the reason why so many of us sympathize with HHJ's character is because the two people she trusted and loved the most betrayed her in so many ways. They suffered a lot, but so did she. And in the end, she had to suffer alone. It was honestly so difficult to feel bad for the other two characters.

On another note, I think it's so interesting to see these three together again after The Beauty Inside! I love how different the characters were.

Angela Oct 05 2017 9:25 am I loved how HHJ got her revenge somehow. It was bitter sweet but her friend and lover drew first blood. I also loved the setting but most of all, HHJ's chemistry with the both guys. ❤❤❤

pado Sep 12 2017 9:35 pm I realI like Hyo Joo' eyes in this movie. I can feel the pain, the change in her soul, her love and her revenge. Every moment is logical. I don't want to blame them. If everything is so clear, no misunderstanding, no lies, no pain, this story won't make the movie. So I can understand why she did. True love will be honored if it is pure and without deception. I can understand the harmony in the music of Yoon Woo and Yeon Hee. But their love is developed on the betrayal and self-righteousness of them, so then that can not be sympathetic. I also think why the revenge of So Yool is such cruelty, but I saw a So Yool with hurt, be forgotten, be tormented. Her revenge is the essence of her soul, there is something like naive, foolish, selfish, prideful, of course, something crazy. It hurts more than Yoon Woo and Yeon Hee. If you want to blame someone, I think that will be the writer. Constructing a story at a standstill and representing the reality of human and society. Such a truthful movie.

dyhrch1095 Sep 10 2017 8:31 pm This movie is awesome! I could say everyone here is wrong. For So Yool, I understand the feeling of being betrayed by someone especially bestfriend and lovers, but still revenge is not the better way. For Yoon Wo and Yeon Hee, I mean if they were in love, why don't tell So Yool the truth, apologize for creating an affair, and the rest will be So Yool's choice. Yoon Wo made promises and lied about it, have an affair with lover's bestfriend, only a braveheart could forgive what he had done. For me I won't ever forgive him cause he ruined my feeling as well as my friendship. And Yeon He, I couldn't hate her more when she innocently said "i didn't take away anything from you" is like wtf didn't she said that she's So Yool bestfriend?? Doesnt she realize So Yool's feeling for Yoon Woo?? But well, So Yool spend the rest of her life living on regret, all she wants from the beginning is both of this bastards confront her and telling the truth, I think everyone's here already paid for their mistakes

alfa Jul 01 2017 10:26 pm Hyo Joo unni did a veeeeeeeeeeeeeerrryyyyy gooood job in this movie. I like the way she built the character. I can feel so yool's pain ): the way she revenged is so sad. It was a pity that she acted as yeon hee since she was actually did better than her.

Rere May 25 2017 6:06 am At beginning i wont watch this movie, but when i dont have option, i try to watch and im very satisfaid, i can feel so yool's pain, so i cant blame her, but i cant applause what she did, good people can hurt other and makes her bad....

saras May 15 2017 2:22 am I love this drama how capture the world war II, i hate that man. He makes his own drama and get his karma. but, i love their acting.

Andre May 01 2017 1:49 pm I feel that pain Hyo Joo. Why YoonWoo and WooHee like doing nothings wrong for cheating her? I kinda confused and clinge about this thing. Bytheway Im on Hyo Joo's side :) Great acting all of them.

Kemas Mar 12 2017 4:39 am Wow it such an amazing and hardcore story. I really love yeon hee with her inocentness. She deserves to be Yoo Woo's. And Han Hyo Joo on this movie is really bastard, I mean you are outstanding as so yool, I really feel that pain that you got but I feel mad with your revenge. But still as a man I didnt know who should I blame? I cant hide that I really like yeon hee with Yoo woo that should I called them a true love. This movie drive me emotionally. And I love the song ost.

Kemas Mar 12 2017 4:13 am Wow it such an amazing and hardcore story. I really love Chun woo hee with her inocentness. She deserves to be Yoo Woo's. And Han Hyo Joo on this movie is really bastard, I mean you are outstanding as so yool, I really feel that pain that you got but I feel mad with your revenge. But still as a man I didnt know who should I blame? I cant hide that I really like chun woo with Yoo woo that should I called them a true love. This movie drive me emotionally. And I love the song ost.

ny Feb 19 2017 8:55 am initially, I was not sure with this movie. but once the story reaches a climax, I couldn't say anything, I am spechless. I felt pain the most in the ending of this movie especially when I hear "love, lies" as the background music

Yoona Feb 14 2017 1:51 pm honestly, i felt my tears down and i cann't say anything about lies and love. but i love this movie so much

tal Feb 06 2017 3:25 pm i don't remember the time i was so emotion about a movie. i felt so bad for so yool, and Han hyo joo was unbelievable. my chest felt pain in most of the movie. and the final scene just killed me. i cried so much. i even cry when I hear the song "love, lies" at youtube. the movie was so so, but han hyo Joo made this movie to be unforgettable for me.

mellie Jan 10 2017 2:30 pm Can't blame So Yool. I would've probably done some of the things So Yool did. Because what kind of friend/lover does not even say sorry and come clean immediately or have the decency to try to reconsider the relationship they had with So Yool. Yes,it's about the story of her ambitions but what triggered her was the betrayal of people who were close and dear to her. And that made her greedy and think that she's got nothing to lose. it's sad really. I cried a lot because I can feel her pain. Amazing job Han Hyo Joo! Daebak!

DINS Jan 10 2017 6:19 am nah, i will do just like So Yool did if anything happen like this to me

ren Dec 28 2016 1:22 am Actually i rather love yeon hee with yoon woo. They truly love each other despite their love are such a big betrayal to soo yeol. Cant get over the scene where yoon woo imagine yeon hee smile at him before he went to train cross path. Glad the ending thia way. So i'll imagines that they will meet. And for han hyojoo she played her character greatly. I hate her character in this movie. Hr character okay... not hating hyojoo.. lol. Couldt help but pity her. Heart does changes. Yoon hoo's heart

ilknur-Turkey Oct 16 2016 7:56 am one word "amazing" I so tocuh this movie.. Good Job ..

crushonyou Oct 08 2016 1:57 pm I think movie is about the lost identity of a Kisaeng.

Not being recognized for her talent haunted her more than being betrayed by her friend and jilted by her boyfriend.

At this time, Gisaengs were not appreciated much, and their customers were only the Japanese. They were not heard by the public, and the common people only listened to pop music. So-yool was a skilled kisaeng singer, but she was not gonna appeal to people, and that's why her friend who had a flexible voice was able to get the better of things.

The present time was important. When people know more about kisaengs and their music, then their voices could be heard. The ending is truly sad.

Ixxdhx81 Sep 24 2016 9:02 pm Oh my god, I thought I am the only one who stand on So-Yool's side. I blamed Yoon-Woo and Yeon-Hee, the cheater deserve it.

Real fan Sep 12 2016 1:50 am Another good movie to watch! Han Hyo Joo is truly an amazing actress, I hope we get to see her more in films and TV series! 대박!

Malak Sep 11 2016 6:29 pm movie is amazing. I felt sad for So-Yool and I think I cannot forgive those cheaters . they play like innocent and do nothing to her. please give me break. they deserve what happened to them but I felt sorry for So-Yool . she suffered for her life because of this not worthy guy.

onewchicken Sep 04 2016 10:25 pm How can one blame So Yool's of her behavior and revenge... I would do the same maybe even more worse. Their friendship broke and she lived a sad and regretful life just because the guy had a change of heart!!! And how could Yeon Hee says that she never took what belongs to So Yool. *She broke their promise to stay as Gisaeng and betrayed her by getting together with the damn guy* This is such a tragedy movie. That Japanese guy was the best so far.

noona dio Aug 29 2016 10:22 pm aish... wtf to Kim YoonWoo and Seo YeonHee !!! i will do revenge to them

beesan Aug 27 2016 10:31 pm this movie could have been better. But the story is very nice and sad, it shows the story from the other point of view. Good movie overall.

hana Aug 24 2016 2:40 pm OMG! I hate this movie but HHJ SLAYED and she is so GORGEOUS! Hated her friend and that guy! Yes what she did was horrible but she gone mad from her so called "friend" and "bf." This makes you go and do some crazy sh*T's.

Atalia Jul 24 2016 6:02 pm Such a beautiful movie, but the story was so sad. All 3 leads had no happy ending. All they did was hurt each other :( I wonder how I should react if I was So Yool ..

Lenny Jul 20 2016 4:53 am Ughh, haven't got to watch this yet! Anyone knows when the dvd is coming out?

firannisa Jul 10 2016 7:37 am Sad beautiful tragic :((((

Cocojae Jul 03 2016 5:30 pm their fate is just sad, but knowing that so yool was so deeply in love with yoon woo, both yoon woo & yeon hee were acting all innocent, as if their love is the greatest. at least have some guts to tell so yool so she doesnt have to be there supporting both cheating boyfriend and bestfriend like a stupid girl!

guest Jun 25 2016 10:32 am spoiler alert so the lead was so in love with han hyo joo and told her that he want her to sing his song than the innocent her bring her best friend and introduce her to the boyfriend the long story short her best friend cheat on her with boyfriend take her song and han hyo joo take her revenge i would do the same to those cheaters they deserve everything that happened to them especially her best freind

Ayu Jun 01 2016 1:00 am Good movie, must watch it! Love the plot..

Ashna May 10 2016 10:28 am The cinematography looks soo good!! I hope the movie will be just as good.

Jungle_fish Apr 14 2016 10:15 am Ah suddenly remember the scene between han hyo and chun wo hee from beauty inside.. chun wo hee act was so great, she can depict someone she loves as she is a man eventhough in front of her was a woman *hyo joo*.. and here they will be a rival.. cant wait
