Man it's been a while since I watched a movie with all subtitles. But I looked for something to watch for probably 30 minutes and I just couldn't find anything that sounded better than this... for real. So I'm gonna give it a try. When you remember subtitle movies back, you hear them in your own language anyway.

Dude... if I can actually get into this movie, there's like a 100% chance it's gonna make me cry so fuckin' hard. Legit.

Made in 2000, wow, it's so crazy that was 20 years ago, WTF!

1:00 the piano music, lol... agh, my God. I'm watching the Korean version of "The Notebook" aren't I?? Agh, why am I watching this??? I don't like romance movies. Lmfao. Well, it's got time travel in it and that is THE ONLY REASON I am watching it.

There was this movie I LOVED when I was a kid, it was about this antique desk that transported letters through time between this woman and a man. God WTF was that movie called? Ah here it is! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Love_L...1998_film) This movie is why I start off any letter I write with "Dearest"... agh my God, be still my heart. I wonder if there's clip of that on YouTube? I can still hear her saying it. OMG, here's the whole movie?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsKyc8gJW1k Well I know what I'm watching next! But here's a clip where she says it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEkJAEXsmyo Anyways, I DIGRESS. HARDDD DIGRESSION.

BACK to DITTO.

God man these titles in a foreign language make me feel all lost 'n shit. I know for sure this is an amazing movie though... for sure. Hopefully I can kick it and just chill.

1:48 this is the heaviest looking snow ever though lmao.

2:20 so okay, NGL, I basically read the entire plot on Wiki lmfao, BUT. BUT. It's NOT ruined for me. LOL. I swear it's not. And this opening right here was very fascinating. If you didn't know the plot, the way the coloring was done would have provided the first clue. It was actually brilliantly done.

2:35 ahhh... before the world went to absolutely utter fucking trash.

3:07 what the fuck, are they like... low key laughing about this mofo breaking a leg? LMAO. Liiike. That's how it seems. Weeeirrrd.

One good thing about watching a movie with subtitles is that you don't really have to worry about the volume. For some reason these movies on Amazon etc. are always sooooooo low volume, I literally have to turn the sound all the way up just to hear the shit... over the sound of me shoveling popcorn in my face.

Which I'm actually not doing right now. But I'm just saying.

3:33 lol this chick is so lovable I just wanna grab her right out of the screen and cuddle.

4:16 so I take it she's crushing on this dude hard? Okay.

5:53 is it just me or does that guy look way older than her? Ah I looked it up... the actor is 7 years older than her here. Not like a huge amount of difference or anything... shouldn't really have been noticeable.

7:00 well that was only the most awkward thing ever.

8:30 Jesus eff... dude what is it with chicks and how they get all sappy in love and obsessed with dudes this way?? Asking for a friend!?!?!

8:50 now she's praying to the friggen moon too!?!?!? What the fuck is this, a documentary about MY LIFE?!!?!?!?!!?!?

I'm so fucking glad I decided to watch this.

9:17 what was the deal with the necklace hanging there??? The frigg was going on there???

9:40 TBH I dunno why she's all obsessed with the other dude, I'm kinda diggin' this guy. Except for the drinking part?!

10:40 are they playing touch football?? *banana dance*

13:30 so I guess it's supposed to be fairly obvious which one of them is in the past. Dunno for sure though.

13:40 oh damn, now they're even bringing a lunar eclipse into it, LOL! SO MAGICAL THOUGH. God. I am loving this movie.

14:35 hoooooooly shit. Was NOT expecting that. Isn't that the wrong radio though? LMAO I thought it was the other radio that was enchanted??

15:15 this movie is slaying my fucking soul right now, I do not jest.

15:35 oh, that IS the radio. Nvm!?

15:38 oh my damn, this guy sounds sexy as fuuuuck!!!!!!?

17:07 lmfao she's sooooo obsessed with this guy, I love it!!!!!!! Even I wouldn't do that shit though.

19:40 oh dude I'd wayyy rather hang out with her super cute friend with this baller haircut she has though... fuck that guy.

20:20 oh wow, the SAME play?? What're the odds? So yeah, she's just going with a better date. LMAO! Look. I'm not a lesbian. Okay? I'm not. But what's true is true... #dealwithit

"Our life has so many turns, so let's leave when there's applause." Uhhhh, amen to that shit!?

24:00 well, fuck dude, I'm already in love. Where do we go from here?

24:47 WTF... so they go to the same school? Man, I can already feel the tears welling up. This movie's gonna fuck me up, yo.

25:38 "The one they are building?" Agh... my God. Right in the emotional balls. Why am I LITERALLY already low key crying right now, oh my God.

26:32 oh my God dude this movie is OBLITERATING my fucking SOUL right now.

27:10 okay you know what, I needed this WAAAAAY overly dramatic fucking scene to snap me the absolute pure and total fuck back to sanity lmfao because ROFL, come ONNNNNN. There's NO WAY he'd be standing in the rain like that, LMAO. Sigh. Okay. I feel better now. I know I'm still gonna cry like a bitch later for sure, but FOR NOW... I'm back.

27:27 yeah okay, it's ridiculous, but it's STILL fucking soul. It's still fucking my soul. Help.

33:20 ahahaha hmmmm, yeah... this would be frustrating.

This is a tough movie, man. On one hand I love it and I never want it to end... but on the other hand, agh, fuck.

36:36 it's FUCKIN' UNPLUGGED!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Ah so now he knows something's up for sure. Interesting.

Hmmm, wow man. Where is this story going?? I'm shook. Quite shook. I can think of a few scenarios. I remember reading in a comments section someone asking "Does it have a happy or sad ending?" Like they didn't wanna watch if it was sad, LOL. And I totally understand that, sad endings are a bummer. It's just that they could take this story anywhere, and dammit, I don't want it to be sad either.

38:00 bahahahahaha DUDE!!!!!!!!! This fucking reminds me of this one time back in the 90s on WebTV when I was chatting with this one bastard troll and he's like "WHAT YEAR IS IT WHERE YOU ARE?" and I'm like it's fucking 1999 and he's like "YEAH WELL IT'S 2000 HERE IN CHINA!!!!!!" And I was just like dumbfounded, I had noooo idea what the fuck to say but I was thinking to myself "Umm, yeah, that's probably not true." I think I even asked my mom, I was like "Is it possible for it to be a different year somewhere else in the world??" And like, yeah technically I guess it is... but lmfao, we would have been in the year 2000 BEFORE China/Chinese New Year. So... yeah I guess that was my first memorable encounter with a troll who really fucked with my head. Lmfaolol.

38:42 "If they are right, you're talking to me after the end of the world." WOOOOWWWWWWW. Bahahahahahaha, mic drop thouuuughhhh.

39:20 dude he needs to find her in the student registry... fucking now.

OMG actually... maybe that guy wasn't fucking with me, I just remembered that in Thailand it's literally the year 2563... LMFAO! OMG it makes sense now, holy shit! But in all seriousness... why the fuck would we ever care about going to space when Earth is such a discombobulated shit show, how could we possibly need MORE?

39:40 hmmm. But she'd only be like twice his age or something. He needs to find her and lay it on that MILF ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!

42:10 this movie is so beautiful and so fucking depressing at the same time. How the hell??

43:27 world's always ending.

55:50 damn man... this movie is a trip.

I never figured it would be quite this amazing.

1:05:40 why have they STILL not tracked her down in the files?? That's the FIRST thing I would have done.

1:08:18 dude this guy doesn't even LIKE HER THAT MUCH. He literally DOESN'T. I fricken hate their respective significant others.

1:10:30 OMFG LORD JESUS NO, PLEASE TELL ME THAT'S NOT HIS MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1:10:45 HOOOOOOOOO fuck. Ohh. Hoooohohoooh. Wow. Oh wow. Wow. Okay, so she's NOT his mom. THAT'S good. The rest though?? Ummmm. Oh wow. Alrighty. Welp. Moving right along.

1:11:45 God. Please just tell me he's gonna find this MILF bitch in present day and lay it on that ass. She's prolly fricken dead or something though, right... like come on. They'd never go there with this movie, they'd never let him just find her and lay the pipe.

1:12:06 God, man, this movie is a fuckin' trip. Like the calmest trip ever though.

1:13:45 this drunkard slag better not fuck his radio up... you know she will though, dumb bitch. God this movie is so heaven and hell.

1:14:20 OT but what the fuck is with this guy's tight ass apartment?! Like look at this shit!

1:16:05 oh God, this looks like a recipe for tragedy. I knew she was dead. But nah, they can't go THAT hard with this movie... seriously, that would be some DARK dark shit, there's no way they'd go that dark with it. Surely to God.

1:21:40 oh my God THIS FUCKING MOVIE, I CANNOTTTTTT. SHE'S BEING SO NICE. SHE'S BEING SO FUCKING NICE. AAAHHHHGGGG. Deep breath. DEEP BREATH. I can do this. I CAN FUCKING DO THIS.

This is just intense. In the most UNASSUMING fucking ways.

1:22:40 FUCK this movie is dramatic, LMAO, oh my God. SIGH. DAMMIT. Agh. I can do this. I CAN DO THIS.

I have never seen a movie like this. EVER.

1:27:20 dude FUCKING FINALLY he's going for the yearbooks... the shit took long enough. Now we just have to see what the tragedy is. What happened to her. Hit by a bus or something delightful like that I presume... *facepalm*

1:29:28 what the fuck is he doing??? WHAT IS THIS?? WHAT THE FUCK IS THiS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

1:30:00 Oh! MFG. Thank God. Whew. WOW. Thank God. Had me going there for a second.

1:30:30 that bitch better not be in his apartment fucking with his radio.

1:31:55 dude this has gotta be the most DRAMATIC fucking movie I have EVER seen.

1:35:30 God this movie is so fucking deep dude, I CAN'T EVEN. I cannot even. I'm 100% serious that I purely totally honestly cannot. What does that even mean in this context? LMFAO I have no idea... I am just trying to express my feelings, and it isn't easy because this is just A LOT. It's A LOT.

1:41:00 holy fuck man, the soul fuckin' continues. Whew. Wow. I mean damn, just damn.

But here's the thing, like...

I get that he's supposed to be like 20 or something in this movie (no idea), but they're acting like she's 80 or whatever. Dude, she's like twice his age, that's it. That is NOT out of fuckin' territory, he could STILL LAY THE PIPE ON HER. I don't get why they're acting like she lives on Mars or something.

1:41:45 well whatever, I'm just glad his girlfriend is being chill about this. I didn't expect her to be cool about it.

1:42:40 I bet he watches her through the window and leaves without saying anything.

1:43:15 is that her?? OMG! See!? She's still fine as hell! I bet he just stands there and doesn't say anything.

1:43:35 okay, roflmfao, hold on a minute, what the fuck is this?? She looks WAY too good. LOL it's literally the same actress with glasses on or something, like... LMFAOLOL, yeah like they just put glasses on her and they're like "K, you're 20 years older!" lmfaolfoamfaololol. Bahahahahaha!!! How are they NOT gonna bang?! COME ON!!!!!!!!!! Bahahahahahaha oh my God this is gold. GOLD. I was gonna cry super hard but now I just feel like it's funny instead. Isn't it?? It's funny right?? Oh God I'm probably still gonna cry.

1:45:55 oh my God dude, the soul fuckin' continues man, I legitimately cannot take much more of this. I was joking all the other times but I'm not joking this time. Thank God there's only a couple minutes left, what a great movie. Man alive, I'm telling you what... great choice. This was a great choice in a movie tonight.
Jesus eff, dude.

OMFG.

Like holy shit.
I pretty much cried through literally the entire movie with varying degrees of intensity. Lmfaololol.
But I also laughed A LOT. Not because it was funny but just because it was SOOOOOO dramatic. It was so hardcore. Wow.


This is the trailer and it does literally no justice because there are no subtitles but check this comment out...

Quote:Just watched this film on T.V. I cried my eyes out through the whole thing. Idk why...

SAAAAAAAAMMMMMEEEEEEE.
Or should I say...

DITTO.

Horatio Sunglasses
And TBH like...

I would have to think about this movie for a while before I even understand what the fuck really went on there.

I mean...

She was his mom/dad's friend and then they get connected over a ghost radio and they go to the same school except 20 years apart and apparently it's because she left her scent everywhere??

Honestly, no idea, but now one of my all time fave movies.
NAILED IT.
10/10.
But yeah, the ending was ridiculous.

She looked fine as hell and he absolutely would have laid the pipe on her IRL.

I knew we were boned when she lowered her eyes after she saw him...

If I was him I'da been like fuck that shit and threw her against the wall and banged her right there in the hallway.

I feel like it was trying to be all symbolic and stuff, and cuz of her sheepish shy character or whatever but lmao guess what, it's not the 1950s... it would have been fine to write a lil hanky panky into that script.
I felt like it was cold when she just walked past him I mean come on...

What the fuck??

Like, after all these years?

That was rude.

She's only got her damn self to blame too. On some real shit.

I don't like the way it ended...

I feel like he should have dumped his GF, at least for long enough to bang radio chick.

How did his moronic lil alkie GF get all mature super suddenly too? Lmfao, she was wearing a fucking skirt suit by the time that shit was over, like stop.
Yeah it was her fault for being all ridiculous and shy and frankly a total puss.

But it was also his fault because he could have grown some balls and grabbed a bitch by the arm and asserted himself but he didn't.

And I just feel like it was absolutely not believable.

That was NOT believable.

The time travel part? Totally fine. But the rest of it? No, not believable.

And I think ANYBODY would agree with me.

They were trying too hard to appeal to the chicks with that wrap up right there, they think chicks would be more poignantly soul fucked by that than if the two of them had gotten together...

Well I got news for you, we want them to bang, because WE'D want to bang.

I guarantee you a man who doesn't 100% understand women wrote that story.

Aha...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jang_Jin

Told ya.

Now, that doesn't mean I don't give him mad props.

But...

They should have banged.

Hell, she even looked like she might've still been able to crank out a babychild, did you see the perfect skin under her eyes on that super facial close up?? Lmfao, I bet he totally could have knocked her up.

So yeah...

In a perfect world it would have ended differently. But it was still a fucking excellent film.
I was gonna say they should have made a sequel where they got together but actually no, all they needed to do was make the movie 2 hrs. long. That's it. Because we know what they're gonna do... they're gonna bang.

They're gonna get it out of their system. Did you see those supple lips? What was she, like 40 at the oldest? People the comments are trying to do the math and saying she might not have even been 40... lmao.

Uh, that guy's in college, he's a grownass man. If he wants to fuck a fly 40 year old bitch, I'm guessing he's allowed to.

And even if he'd gotten there and she'd looked sorta haggard, COME ON. They STILL would have banged. Absofuckinglutely. You can't tell me otherwise.
I feel like it was more like a ghost story. Some kinda allegory about how unrequited love makes you dead inside or some shit. Lmao. Man fuck that angsty bullshit!
I've seen some people argue that they weren't in love with EACH OTHER at all and it wasn't even a love story about them...

Facepalm

Yes it fucking was.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ditto_(2000_film)

So are they no BS trying to say that the whole reason for the time travel was her feelings over the fuckwit she was in love with and the power of love is what caused the radio thingy to happen and that even 20 years later she was still single because of that shit?? COME ON.

So she was like a prisoner of love at the school and then once the guy finds her and they walk past each other, she's set free?

I mean, what the actual fuck.

The closest they ever got to explaining ANYTHING was throwing the word "dimensions" around...

So rather than time travel it was some sort of dimension thingy.

Like I get it, I still idealize and have sweet nostalgia about people I was in love with 15 years ago and whatnot, I understand the tender feelings around that. Heck, those are still my favorite loves. But really? We're gonna act like this chick was SOOOOO in love with this dude that she literally got stuck between dimensions and held back and couldn't let go, like some kind of living ghost??

I dunno.
You could still be salty 20 years later, for sure...

But to be all held back like that? I don't think so. Weird radio anomaly or not, you'd be gettin' dicked and birthin' babies and shit, especially a pretty chick like that. Soooo...

Yeah I just don't really buy the story.

Like how was it THAT GOOD, yet there are all these qualms??

Magic
Cuz it WAS an amazing fucking movie.

I guess it's just a bunch of symbolism.

I really think the main idea of the story was to push home how powerful young love/first love is and what an impact it makes.

It wasn't supposed to be a real life scenario in a literal sense, I guess it was just supposed to be figurative.

And like I said, I get it... I understand about the young love thing, yeah it does stick with you.

The only difference is IRL you go on to have other relationships, good experiences, bad experiences, all kinds of weird and whacked out shit...

But in this movie, in the case of this story, I guess all that stuff was left out to make a strong point. So okay that's fine I guess.
