The music video. I so like the OST. Although I don't understand Korean, the singer's voice bring the feeling so much into the song!
Among the list, my favourite's gotta be Sunflower. The story line not only touching, it also strike home some reality. Well, I also quite like Gridiron Gang and Breach cos I'm one who like to watch movies based on a true story. Like wise for The Holiday, heart warming, just like Love Actually, moreover I like the UK accent in some movies. Which is why I would prefer UK/Ireland flims. Just love that accent. I quite like Korean movies as well. Their slapstick comedy and expression, it's just so funny!
I prefer movies which are based on true stories, foreign languages and love movies. Some action movies is fine but not really a big fan of them.
