— thoughts:
i don’t even know where to begin... ‘the handmaiden’ is one of a kind. the acting and directing were top-notch. there were many unexpected twists (i went in blind), and the scenes were filmed so tastefully. amazement is definitely an understatement.
i can see why kim taeri got selected out of 1500 people who auditioned for the role. her flair for acting and her chemistry with kim minhee stood out the most to me. they really said lesbians unite! let me end off with this line. bless us. 🙏🏻
