Twist of Fate

Korean trademark of twisting and makin you say what the F at the end.

Slow, Old and Heartwarming

[joshua-21622 · 7/10 · 23 February 2022]

Ever thought how love stores of today are full of different dynamics and perspectives it has; and plots of different moves come up with different emotions rather hard (like a punch in your gut), they are mostly about successful people filled with ambition and have great goals with mostly confusing love story, it almost feels like you are in a rollercoasters. Well they definitely are great... But.

This movie is subtle, warm and most importantly slow. One of the many things I hate about today's society is that everything has to go fast and if you are slow, you are missed. One has to have ambition, goals, job, degree and many things which keeps you busy. And this movie has none of that; it went slow, the characters were at some level failures and without any goals (they only wanted to go college because they had to). And the love of early 2000 and 2010 is GOLDEN, when you were shy to talk but brave enough to l love. Truly the 1995 generation had the best!

There are not many movies like these anymore cause everybody wants money and not all of them are going to like. But I tell you this a Diamond in a a coal field; you may find it boring, out of date and not innovative (and maybe this is) but this just like its movie suggests 'a comforting rain'.

Only Story

[wahid-siichoby · 7/10 · 28 October 2021]

A bit confusing but you will understand, Its about believe something. Not to happy at the end, but warming your heart.

Star and Rain, amazing story. Thank you for making this movie so awesome.

The waiting for good drama is over!

[soeprijo19 · 10/10 · 19 July 2021]

This is a very beautifully composed drama story. If you like drama with simple and down-to-earth characters, then don't miss this one. Make sure to pay attention to the details of the last 30 minutes, as the plot twists and turns can be a little confusing, but it won't disappoint you if you follow it to the end!

Great movie but not innovative.

[raffydibansa · 10/10 · 4 August 2021]

This has to be one of my favorites in this genre and in Korean film. To use a line (translated/from subtitle) in this movie you are like the star, and she is the rain. You burn brightly, but she gives me comfort.

No innovation can be seen from this movie, and acting is good so is the cinematography. But what it does is give comfort for having characters that are relatably realistic, their hardships make sense so you understand how their decisions come to be.

I recommend this movie for anyone looking for comfort, nostalgia and simpler times. This is worth watching for that alone.

Real Romance

[3xHCCH · 9/10 · 25 September 2021]

This film can be a confusing with all the going back and forth in time, and three lonely women in the life of a lonely man over the years. However, once the pieces all fall into place and it was finally revealed what the title "Waiting for Rain" meant, it turned out to be very romantic, (even for non-romantics like me).

The story seemed to have been written with actor Kang Ha-neul in mind, as he embodied the central character of Young-ho perfectly. Even the description of Young-ho's face, looking sad even while he's smiling, fit Kang's distinct facial features to a T. We are rooting for him to finally be happy, but alas, we can only watch him make idealistic decisions.

The embroidered handkerchief, the old-fashioned exchange of handwritten letters, the home-made leather gifts, the hand-painted umbrellas -- all of these items helped weave a moving story of nostalgic longing for love, as we hang on teary-eyed awaiting an uncertain resolution even at the very last moment.

Heartwarming Story

[khnsky · 10/10 · 4 September 2021]

A very heartwarming story which reminds you of your past.

Heart-touching

[hannahjakes · 10/10 · 13 December 2021]

Only certain movies makes you feel, and this movie is one of them. It makes you feel things that you think you never had. It has a romantic touch and the sweetness of waiting. It brings out how amazing it is to be pen pals, and how much one's heart is strong enough to wait till eternity for the person you love. It also ends magically, I have no words!

beautiful

[masadragic · 10/10 · 14 November 2021]

Touching, filled with emotion, serene atmosfere... reminiscing about life, destiny, connections, beauty of a simple life... high quality produciton makes you cry.

If you are a hopeless romantic this film is for you.

[Bassem_Khaled · 8/10 · 5 April 2024]

I liked many of the shots in this film, specifically the one where the sick sister is standing in a flooded alley with children playing and she puts the paper boat in the water signifying her death as sailing away, that was very touching, the story was brilliant, yet the time jumping back and forth was a bit too much hence the 8 rating, I would have loved to see a conversation at the end between the two pen pals, could have been really interesting but I think I know why it's not there, I liked the waiting in the rain scenes as the years pass by, I loved the line of the star and the rain as most of the reviewers mentioned, the ending scene was not a surprise to me, I kinda knew it was her and not her sister, I loved the Umbrellas in this film especially the one with the stars.

I am always fond of the writing in Korean film and series, If you are a hopeless romantic this film is for you.
