Letterboxd reviews for Oldboy (2003)

[cyberhag]

love is the master of the world

Sorry in advance to anyone who followed me purely for BL content, but today I had a rare and beautiful experience that I want to write down before it slips away. I went to the movie theater (something I don’t do as much as I used to) and I had an unexpectedly wonderful time. I’d booked this ticket a week ago and, out of the entire festival lineup, managed to secure only this one film. In hindsight, I’m glad it worked out that way.

If you’ve known me for a while, you know I joke that one of my fetishes is true love. Call it a bit, call it a personality trait, but it’s stuck around long enough to be both. BL has always been the perfect playground for this obsession. For all the discourse around what BL “fetishizes,” I’ve long believed the core fixation is love itself: messy, earnest, and transformative love (more on that in another blog, maybe). But today, I walked out of the theater feeling like my belief in love has leveled up tenfold, all thanks to the one movie that has South Korean women crying and singing its praises. Apparently I am still very susceptible to cinematic miracles…

I won’t spoil anything. I think this film deserves to meet you on its own terms. But I had one of those small, revelatory moments after the credits rolled. As I was leaving the theater and googling the lead actress, I discovered that the film’s original Korean title is 세계의 주인 (Segyeui Joo-in), literally The Master of the World. The protagonist’s name is Joo-in (주인). So when you consider that, the English title, The World of Love, offers a compelling point of departure when placed alongside the original Korean title. In a sense, the title carries a double meaning: it presents Joo-in as “master,” while also inviting us to read love – embodied, challenged, and reconfigured through her – as the true governing force of the world. I find this translation choice aligns elegantly with the film’s thematic center. 

If I were a filmmaker, I would be very furious that the carwash scene wasn’t mine. They say the scene was nearly scrapped because they couldn’t find the location they wanted, but the production manager Nam Hyo-jin said, “No, we're doing this project to film this scene - I'll find it.” And thank God they did. For me, it was one of the scenes that made the film, and one that will linger longest with viewers. (Sure enough, if you scroll through Letterboxd, it’s what everyone’s talking about.)

The movie hit close to home, perhaps too close for me to claim the usual critical distance required to discuss pacing or narrative technique. Yet, without giving away too much, what some viewers interpreted as a “pacing issue” was precisely where I found particular value. Its episodic unfolding – the gradual revealing of its emotional and thematic threads – felt especially meaningful. Rather than presenting its subject matter in a linear or easily digestible way, the film reveals its contours piece by piece, mirroring the way certain experiences often emerge in lived reality. Such experiences resist neat narration. They surface in fragments, in moments, in revelations that come on their own terms. I think Yoon Ga-eun’s structural choices honor that reality.

Love is such a powerful and moving force. Without it, life would lose much of its meaning (This has been said millions of times in millions of ways!). To find it unexpectedly, and to offer it freely is one of the most astonishing things humans can do – perhaps the thing we are most meant to do. Discovering love and learning to embody it, in the end, is what keeps us alive.

Director Yoon Ga-eun continues to impress me with her sensibilities as a filmmaker, especially her ability to recognize talent in young actors! Seo Su-bin’s performance is a standout. She carries a quiet intensity that never gets swallowed by her veteran co-stars. I left the theater feeling lighter, fuller, eyes a bit puffy, and maybe a little more hopeful about the world. It’s been a long time since a movie has done that for me. If it ever shows in theaters near you, I highly recommend it!

I watch this drama for the plot.

THE PLOT:

Kang Tae Oh is slaying so hard as the revenge-seeking grief-stricken Lee Gang. I loved his portrayal of the young King Injo in The Tale of Nokdu, and he was born for this role.

Obsessing over a kdrama in the second half of 2025 wasn't on my bingo card, but damn this show has some serious potential.

thunderbolts* ⇾ bob & yelena

[flilisskywalker]

Ok, trying to understand why I love the idea of Yelena and Bob as a couple. Well, because it's different. They are both not the typical characters you see in Hollywood blockbusters, there's a certain vulnerability to them that it's unique and they both are allowed to look like a mess. Bob is not hyper masculine, despite being basically... Superman. Yelena is not a femme fatale despite being an assassin. It's something new to these super-hero films. It's something young.

I think this is why it's catching people's attention.

[freshlyprinted]

I love the scene at the end of ep. 5, when Aesun at first struggles with the superstition that women shouldn’t board boats. Honestly, even I was nervous for them at that moment (and I’m still nervous), since their good fortune still felt so fragile. But she can’t let her daughter be held back by the same old beliefs.

So she gets on the boat with her and starts reasoning with the gods and spirits, even threatening them not to take away their blessings and to keep her loved ones safe, probably trying to convince herself as well that there’s nothing to be afraid of.

I don’t know, there’s just something so moving about it because she herself clearly believed in those superstitions.

Plus, the idea that we often don’t even realise how many norms and beliefs limit us (because we’re so used to living by the rules of patriarchy), until someone we love has to go through the same.

ETA: I’ve been thinking about the scene where the boat was first setting sail and Gwansik’s family conducted a whole ritual with all kinds of offerings to the Dragon King. These people truly believe in all the myths surrounding this god/spirit. And yet, Gwansik and Aesun still chose to defy that superstition.
