I usually watch K-drama series. But I found a Korean drama movie to watch called “Love, Lies” (2016). WARNING!! DO NOT watch this movie if you don't want to be bummed out! I know K-drama always have love triangle. But this is the saddest love story I have ever seen in my life! And I have watched a lot of movies over the years. It takes place during the Japanese occupation of Korea or rather Joseon (1943). Two girls ~ Jung So-yul (played by Han Hyo-joo), and Seo Yeon-hee (played by Chun Woo-hee) ~ who have beautful voices were raised to be “artists”. (That's what they were told. They both found out later that they were just beautified to be “artful prostitutes” for the Japanese men.) One young Korean man ~ Kim Yoon-woo (played by Yoo Yeon-seok0 ~ who is a song-writer. But he writes popular songs for the common people ~ “Joseon's Heart”. Not the traditional music (jeongga, or classical Korean songs) the girls have been trained to sing for the upper class Korean society and the Japanese. He says he is in love with one girl but then he meets her best friend. I won't tell you how this story unfolds but it was so so so so so so so so so so so so … painful!! Some reviewers criticized the movie in a bad way. I disagree. I thought the acting was superb and by the end of the movie, my heart was broken. I was totally shattered. On the plus side: The scenery, the costumes, especially the traditional Hanbok clothing and the modern westernized clothing that both ladies wore were gorgeous and very stylish. Their hairstyles whether long hair or short hair was beautiful!! Also, I really liked the album covers. Both ladies released an album with them singing and the artwork for both album covers is incredible! In fact, that's how the movie begins. Some people found an old album and wanted to know the whole story behind it. #Koreandrama #Kdrama #movies #entertainment
