Meu Irmão Irritante (2016)

Jogos Paraolímpicos de 2016

Fiquei surpresa em ter descoberto só agora 2020, a existência desse drama tão comovente.
Esse filme é daqueles que você ri e chora juntos com os atores. O elenco de peso e super experiente em arrancar lágrimas e risos não deixa faltar nada nessa história que mostra o de um atleta nacional que perde a visão e sem os seus pais vivos, se vira para viver em casa sozinho, enquanto o seu meio irmão presidiário pede uma permissão para cuidar do irmão por um ano, mostra o lado competitivo Paraolímpico da Coreia do Sul, fala um pouco sobre o nosso maravilhoso país Brasil e trata dá partida (morte) com a visão terna do irmão mais velho.

Os atores Cho Jung-seok ( Doo-Sik) e Doh Kyung-soo (Doo-Young) se encaixam muito bem em seus papéis de irmãos, cada diálogo dos mais desprezíveis do irmão mais velho e dos mais sofridos do irmão mais novo fazem com que o telespectador se ponha no lugar e sofrer junto, assim como quando
Park Shin-hye (Soo-Hyun) como a treinadora nacional entra em cena mostrando todo seu esforço com o atleta e o desafiando a volta como Paraatleta é emocionante.
Quando pesquisei sobre o filme antes de assistir a impressão que alguns cinefalos passaram que era mais do mesmo, mas tirar minhas próprias conclusões foi fundamental para ver um trabalho super diferente desafiador desse elenco, que a interpretação não deixou falhas.


Convido você a assistir !

Uma bela surpresa para um dia entediante

Nessa tarde nublada de quarentena, eu resolvi dar uma chance a um filme do Kyungsoo. Não que eu não acreditasse nas habilidades de atuação dele, (100 dias, meu príncipe e It's okay, that's love me mostraram o talento do menino D.O) eu simplesmente nunca tinha visto um filme dele mesmo, e foi essa decisão que fez com que minha tarde não fosse monótona e esquecível.
O filme é compacto, com personagens cativantes e uma história simples, mas bem trabalhada. Apesar de ser razoavelmente curto, isso não impede a imersão e exploração de personagens. Até agora, foi uma das melhores atuações que eu vi o Kyungsoo fazer. Como exo-l, estou extremamente orgulhosa do trabalho do menino D.O.
Não pense que o D.O foi o único que brilhou nessa trama, todos os atores foram maravilhosos em seus papéis. Destaque para o "Hyung" que tinha tudo para ser um personagem odioso e irritante, mas que conseguiu me fazer derramar lágrimas com seu desenvolvimento.
Com um final agridoce, esse filme entrou para os meus favoritos desse ano, eu recomendo fortemente para todos.

My impression of "My Annoying Brother" is that its a great family type of movie, at least in my opinion...
I expected a sad story about how Du Yeong(D.O Kyungsoo)becomes blind and deals with his brother Ko Doo Shik(Jo Jung Suk)who goes out of prison(i remind you,a SAD story(its worse XD)). Well...it was actually really different from what i imagined. First the swearing is a lot, i dont know if Korea sees this as a family movie, considering they blur out knives and guns...And i like how they delivered the story! There was Comedy, swearing, family drama, sadness and tragedy(duh!what can you expect from the peson who made it)brotherly bonding and love, i'm glad the movie is not another sad tragedy movie hit ;) , which i expected from the person who made it(well....proved my expectations kinda....). The reason im giving the story 9.5 is because i feel something was missing, just a little in the beginning. Im still in shock from the ending, i did not expect it at all. So im not gonna give you a spoiler, watch it and see if your gonna be just as shocked.
The acting was great. The bromance made me scream, cry and laugh. It was funny to see the swearing which is really really a lot more than in any drama you have ever seen. Jo Jung Suk is one of my favorite actors because of this movie(in my top 3). His acting is out of this world, i did not doubt his acting for a second. Next lead D.O Kyungsoo: I was worried about D.O because, since "I Remember You" i havent seen him in a lot of dramas or movies. Gladly there was nothing to worry about,he is just as good as always. Lets hope we can see him in more dramas and movies.
Next: Park Shin Hye(Lee Soo Hyeon) was a big suprise for me when i found out about the cast. Her acting was great i'm so glad she was in this movie i cant imagine another female in this role (that's not an A list actress) to grab my attention. Otherwise the role would be very simple, bland and waste of screen time. She delivered the role of caring for Du Yeong so well, that felt it! I dont know why i expected romance between her and the brothers. I shiped her and Du Yeong so hard, but i have a feeling, that if it was a romance movie she would go to Ko Doo Shik and Du Yeong would be the sad second lead who is blind.... so maybe its not good to have romance in this movie after all but just cute, lovely-dovey bromance. The acting is a 10, best cast ever!
Now to the topic about the music in the drama. Its the only thing that didn't stick out enough to
impress me. I dont get it they had D.O Kyungsoo of EXO and Jo Jong Suk(they sang one song at the ending which was good) who can both sing couldnt they make them sing the songs or at least give the signers better songs! They werent bad dont get me wrong but they were not on the same level as the story,acting and visual of the cast and scenery. That's why im giving it 8.5.
As a rewatch value i would soo watch it again. Yes, yes and yes. I only wish i could watch it with my family but they don't even understand english. Thankfully i can watch it with my sister because its a great family movie that plays with your emotions. Even if there are a little shirtless scenes XD. 9.5
Overall its a great movie it had comedy it wasn't all sad like i expected it to be.(Thou from the discription is missing a few generes besides those "Comedy, Drama, Family, Life". Well what happens in the movie can be summed up in genre ''Life'' i guess.)The relationship between the brothers really made my legs jelly. I really liked it! Even if i gave the music 7.5 im still giving it a 10 for overall impression because the other movies that could hold my attention that long without me spacing off are only Train to Busan, Miracle in Cell No. 7 and Werewolf Boy. And as i said in the beginning SAD....prepare food and prepare a place where you can blow your nose and hang your face to dry after the movie...my face is still drying from all the tears....

The movie sucked out tears wherever it could. I thought it would be a light-hearted type of movie but it evolved quickly into something emotionally tense. You get to see the complete asshole character of Jo Jungsuk at the beginning and I honestly thought they didn't leave enough transparency for the viewer to see possible future concern coming from the older brother. But his character surprisingly evolved quickly enough for us to see some brotherly love. There were a lot of tragic circumstances that accumulated and the viewer didn't get a break from carrying a heavy heart while the movie progressed. Even though the comedy side of the movie was outweighed, individual scenes succeeded into tickling a good amount of laughter out of me.

I was quite pleased by the acting and the actors/actresses really pulled on my heartstrings. I honestly believe this was one of Kyungsoos best acting accomplishments. There were instances where it bothered me that Jo Jungsuks character treated his brother rough - even after they started opening up to each other I still couldn't get used to him screaming sometimes and showing his type of "manly" love. But this was only a trivial negative aspect of the movie - all in all I was somehow pleasantly surprised how deep the movie turned out to be.

I'll start by saying that i'm not keen on movies in general (wether Korean or Western) and that kdramas are mostly the only cinematographic pieces I watch, but, I indulged in this because I like DO, and because Jo Jung Suk (whom I didn't know before this) seemed a pretty fun actor from the promo interview.

I watched the movie without subs. There you have it, and nope, I don't speak korean (yet)
Before you think my review is invalid because I couldn't grasp everything perfectly, let me stop you because this is the exact reason I'm writing this review: even with my extremely limited understanding of the language, the story, the actions, the whole thing seemed crystal-clear to me. I never felt like I was watching a foreign-language movie. Everything made sense and seemed logic, because the acting is top-notch. Top. Notch.

When the brothers were having a quarrel, I understood it.
When they were laughing with each other, my heart melted.
When they were teasing each other, I chuckled.
When they were talking over sad stuff, I teared up a bit.

And I cried like a baby at the end.

Their facial expressions are mostly flawless and very accurate. I mean if one tells X in X country their puppy died they'd have the same reaction as Y in Y country, we all constitute humankind.
Their tones also help to get the feel of the situation, even if they're basically talking gibberish to you, their tone makes sense.
Now if you know even like 30 really basic words like mom, eat etc. it's gonna help a LOT. And you probably do know these words and way more than 30 if you've been swept by the Hallyu long ago so you have no excuse not to watch this movie :-)

I thought I'd have to watch this a second time to understand it fully but I really don't, and actually had to write down in my notes that I watched this movie in Korean because there's zero gray area really.

I understood about 10% of the lines (literally, as in I know what they're saying right now bc I know exactly all the words), but my actual understand of the plot and what was happening was around 90%, maybe even 95% because as I said before, the few words you know, the scenes and mostly the perfect faces and the tone, of the actors makes you totally forget you're watching it without subs.

I gave this an 8. It wasn't actually that incredible of a movie, it was rather two well-spent hours and a good laugh, but 7.5 just didn't seem good enough, that's why I settled with the upper mark.

In a nutshell: a good watch !

The trailer and the synopsis defo do not do this movie justice. Let me say that first. DO NOT count on them for an accurate description.

You expect comedy because of JJS, but i should have known because Do Kyung Soo isn't that type of actor(if you've seen other shows hes starred in you'll understand). The movie makes you smile and doesn't waste time on trivial filler bits, even Park Shin Hye i would count as a supporting character rather than a main as it wasn't about her. I don't want to say too much because its one of those movies you have to watch with no expectation so that you can get the full impact of emotions.

Music wise, there wasn't much but the closing song was sung by both male leads, which is cute.

I would definitely re-watch as it didn't even seem that long. Really enjoyed it

Ah, what a beautiful movie. Really.

I was anticipating it a lot, having watched countless trailers and finally I was able to watch it.

I wasn't disappointed.

This movie has got everything- comedy, drama, sense of family, great acting...

The story in itself is not that complicated- the main character is a judoka who became blind and shut himself at home. Then comes his older brother, an ass*ole only here because he was allowed to get out of prison by going home and helping him. And then, of course, come the problems. It's quite cliché, but it was greatly done.

Anyway, I'd gladly recommend this movie. Maybe it's not perfect, but I thought it was a really great movie. It does make you think about a lot of think.

As for the acting, I thought it was corresponding greatly. I know the two main have been wanting to act together since a long time and you really get that bro feeling hehe. I'm not even a fan of Exo, but I have to agree that D.O. Is quite charming and acts quite well hehe.

The music wasn't that great-actually I don't really remember it- but it was probably on point.

Rewatch value... Well, it's quite hard to say, especially because there is some plot twist in there... But I guess I'd watch it again just because this movie is beautiful :)

Watch it!

Despite Kyunsoo being in this drama, the acting was exceptionally impressive. They developed the characters so much that it was overwhelming and made me cry 4 times. The story line is very cliche and stereotypical, however the director was amazing enough to make it so that the audience does not feel the same way as they would in a stereotypical dramatic movie. The feelz were too real. There were a countless number of funny moments along with the tears that followed. The filming did not seem half-legged at all. It was all full out and perfectly made.
What I don't like about this movie is that Park Shin-Hye had a small and arguably unnecessary part and also the fact that they cursed a lot throughout the drama. In fact, he cursed so much that I feel like I learned another 5 curse words in Korean kekekekekeke
In all seriousness, if you are wondering whether or not to watch this drama, through my eyes, that should not even be a question. Watch it, and you won't regret it.

Very annoying brother...

I would like to split this movie in to to half 1st, supposedly comedy filled with annoying characters, bad habits there to make you hate the older brother so much that you almost wish him dead... Being a sexist, shameless conman... of the worst kind. And the younger brother being kind of depressed after loosing his eyesight... can't blame him for that...

The other half will make that wish come true... teaching us to be careful what we wish for, and is a complete turn around, en explosion of character development making you wish him well... Hoping he will live long and prosper for all eternity... ok maybe not, but apparently it It takes a terminal illness to get an annoying brother to stop being annoying...


I admit I was annoyed so the first half was really not my cup of coffee, but I can not blame the writers, directors or the actors, it is not as if they did not warn me with the title and all... The acting was mostly good and the story pretty unique. There is a lot of character development,

So not really my cup of coffee but a pretty okay movie... at least the second part was good.

Honestly this movie has everything I find engaging in a movie or drama, a brothers story, handsome leads, great actors, and well written angst. Sometimes a movie gets hyped up so you make this image inside your head of what it might be like right? And sometimes you watch the movie and maybe they took a different direction but it's still good, and other times you watch the movie and you knew what you're going to get but the delivery is so predictable it becomes boring. Ok, so what category does this one fit? The category where all your predictions come true and you still haven't moved an inch for about two hours because even though you know how it's going to end, you've become hopelessly involved in the characters. I don't always look for happy endings but for this one I wanted it so bad. Anyway just wow, super intense movie but the brothers relationship it brought me to tears. DO did an excellent job portraying someone with a disability and who's living a life of complete darkness after an injury and his trashy older brother just got out of prison on parole giving the excuse that he's going to take care of his recently disabled younger brother. And even though they start out having some trouble accepting each other when the truth comes out with time and both of them realize what the other must have been through they start getting closer.
