Thoughts on 'Your Letter': A Heartwarming and Healing Korean Animated Film
淵的信件 Your Letter
I recently watched this Korean animated film based on a webtoon and wanted to share my thoughts~
This film is an adaptation of a LINE WEBTOON comic. The art style feels a bit like Japanese anime, and while I wasn't used to the Korean audio at first, I got used to it quickly.
The story follows the protagonist, Sori, who stands up for a bullied classmate only to become the target of bullying herself, forcing her to transfer schools. After arriving at her new school, she discovers a series of mysterious letters of friendship, which help her slowly emerge from the shadows and find true friends.
Honestly, do Korean writers always have to include a terminally ill friend when writing about friendship? I have to poke a little fun at that. But overall, it was quite moving.
What impressed me the most was the part about miracles. A small sapling, once grown, can become a home for birds, ants, and squirrels; it’s also a place for children to swing, teenagers to fall in love, and the elderly to watch the sunset. It turns out that our daily lives are miracles in themselves.
Has anyone else seen this? What did you think?
By the way, do Korean schools really have everything? Rabbit hutches, garden ponds, botanical gardens... I'm so envious! QQ
