I too am surprised this gem currently only has 7 stars.This movie is a perfect example of our universal shared understanding of the nature of attachment and love. The classical music score and the sound of the voices of the young actors transcend the language. The underplayed but extremely moving acting leaves us wanting to know more about these people. We are hugely on their side.This is the antithesis of a movie chock full of plot and devices; it is rather bare-bones perfect in the references it makes. It's all done with acting and camera-work, and pacing. What we don't need we don't get. It's like a minimalist Shakespeare play.What you *will* see are a collection of moments that just tug at your heart.Expect this movie to stay with you for a long time.What a great actress!

As a fan of actress Kim Ha Neul and the movie Il Mare (another time boggling K-drama), I really wanted to love this movie. Instead I have to settle for liking it and barely, unfortunately.Korean cinema has built quite a reputation for itself in the melodrama genre. This movie is no exception. However, it does more than deliver the melodrama; it buries you in it. The classical soundtrack, while rather lovely, gets heavy fast. The leads, Kim and Yu Ji Tae, manage to be charming in their own ways, but charm is not enough to shoulder this film. I had difficulty attaching to any characters in this movie and couldn't help but find their emotional moments very contrived. The downpours of tears and the slow quiet moments got to be too much. And this is coming from a drama fan! I think so much more could have been done with the concept of this movie. It had its moments, but nothing special enough to make it truly memorable.

If you like to watch a moving drama, you must watch Ditto. Taking a bit from Frequency, Ditto tells us about love and relationship among peoples. The story telling flows like poetry, beautiful and touching, but it runs with slow pace. Well, it doesn't matter with me, because it entertains me with its rhyme.In general, the movie is great, even in technically is not that good. But, like many others Korean drama movies, it won't fail to satisfy you. Trust me.8/10

I was leary of spending the time watching "Ditto" on the Japan Air flight I was on as it would interfere with my nap. This was a refreshingly nice twist to the story lines like Frequency and many Star Trek episodes...Melancholy and sad moments were balanced out with the innocence of the female lead's character, it never got overly heavy with sadness. No nudity and very minimal abusive language.
