I'm coincidentally strengthening my Jaejoong bias by accidentally stumbling across an eng sub copy of Heaven's Postman. And of course Jaejoong close-ups are always delightful.
What a beautiful non-ghost he is. I vote him for the coolest, smuggest, most devastatingly handsome angel-postman in the world!
Spazzing aside, I enjoyed the cinematography on this film. I wish I'd find a pretty bright red mailbox in the middle of a luscious green field. And the animated doe-eyed puppy at the mailbox ... Ha! Where in Korea can I find that? I thought the story was a wee bit too complex though and it would've been nice with less twists. I can almost hear Project Runway judges call for a bit more editing. I sure could have done without the "Heaven" sign on each of the headrests of the mysterious bus. But yeah, I never take those things too seriously since I'm neither a film critic nor an undergraduate writing a reaction paper. Is it entertaining? Yes. Is it worth my fangirl time? YES. And that's enough to make me a happy audience.
As for Jaejoong's acting, Heaven's Postman certainly makes you want to see more of him ~ I mean more FROM him :) in a positive way of course. Is he too pretty to play too funny a character like Jang Geunseok or Song Joongki? 글쎄 ... It seemed to me that I remembered his witty scenes the best ~ like the "Ajik? Ajik. Ajik Ajik? Ajik Ajik Ajik. Ajik Ajik~~" And he did so well being mildly funny and uptight in Protect the Boss. So no one can blame me for yearning for a really funny lead character from Jaejoong ... soon ...
Note:
So yeah, I've been on a Korean movie marathon these past weeks ❤. There's a lot of fairly recent and not too recent kmovies that I wanted to watch but didn't have time nor the appropriate resources for. Weeks of waiting on Gmarket ticketing allowed me to catch up on my must-see movie list quickly ^^.
