오직 그대만

Although I have to admit the story and movie was kinda slow, it had a nice theme and I liked both So Ji-Sub and Han Hyo-Joo.
I know it was released way back, but I finally had the time to watch it!! I have had it in my bookshelf for 1,5 years!!!
I'd say this is a typical Korean movie with some violence and romance. Also if you like to look at beautiful people, the movie is for you.
Still I wished they had developed the plot a bit more as it felt very slow here and there.
