Finally got to catch Along With the Gods – The Two Worlds, and it was definitely a fun watch with a lot of heart. Great effects and fight scenes, plus the fantasy world was built so well that even if you land smack in the middle of everything, it still all made sense. The acting is of course, top-notch. I haven’t seen much of Cha Tae Hyun’s works, but now I understand how he is such a relatable “everyday-man” that you just can’t help rooting for. And although I’ve known him in more comedic roles he can so do drama to great effect too. I don’t think I need to say how awesome the other veteran cast were ❤️️ I’m glad though that there are 2 more sequels coming out so yey!
Although, I don’t know if it’s because I’m so used to dramas but sometimes Korean movies give me a feeling of constraint in the character/plot developments: like it feels rushed sometimes, obviously with the time constraint. If this was a drama in the hands of very a very capable writer and director with time to flesh out the very fascinating characters it has – man I would so love to see it!

Oh yes! I also actually love that he plays a lighter character in terms of personality, different from his other movies. It suits him
