Review of The Soul-Mate

The Soul-Mate (2018)
10/10
One of the best ghost comedy/action films from S. Korea!
13 December 2021
Do not be fooled by the title or the genre, this is not a horror movie

You can enjoy a different kind of portrayal of the lead characters and there is no annoying romance angle which throws off the audience. The movie is always engaging and is a visual treat for Don Lee fans

There are some scenes which make you feel like watching "A Korean Odyssey". Yet, the movie is overall fresh and involves the satisfaction of many fantasises when a normal person would be in desperate situations

Do not worry about the Don Lee's character, he is not a police or a thug mindlessly beating up people for his fans. He slips and falls, even does not fight for a long time and needs a lot of help. This includes very funny scenes that you could have already seen in YouTube

There are melodramatic twists in the end just like many Korean movies, but this will be a relief rather than a burn. The character growth is non-linear and satisfying. The movie might drag on for those not used to drama.
