"Will You Be There?" is an adaptation of Guillaume Musso's 2006 bestselling novel with the same title. South Korean cinema adds one more feather in its cap by adapting such a fantastic novel and Hong Ji-young did true justice to it.

A surgeon (Kim Yun-Seok) helps an old man by operating on his granddaughter during a flood in Cambodia. The old man asks what is your last wish and surgeon says "my only wish is to see my girlfriend" but she died in an accident 30 years ago. The old man gives him 10 pills which allow him to travel in time to the past.

The narration is immaculate and the idea of time travel is utilized magnificently, going back in past and meeting yourself is portrayed with great ingenuity, a dash of humor & melodrama. South Korean movies are known for this peculiarity.

The characters are developed seamlessly; human emotions are captured well. It also draws the protagonist's conflict with relationships and who to choose, the sacrifices are irreversible.

Attention to the details is commendable here as we see the height, smoking style, hairstyle and body language of the protagonist is similar. The cinematography is spectacular and editing makes the movie crisp as the transition of scenes from 1985 to 2015 happens flawlessly.

A must watch film.7.5/10

A man got time travel capsule then he tries to save his girl friend that she had been died 30 years ago.very interesting korean movie...

This is a fantastic movie. As with most good time travel movies, you have to think outside the box. Most others you also have to ignore the loopholes, but not in this one. The ending had tears rolling down my cheek, then a few minutes later, tears again. This movie actually had multiple sad and happy endings, until the final, which is, well, you just have to watch it. The acting is great, the characters are great, and some comedy relief from his best friend. I promise you it is worth every minute of your time...

This is one of the best emotional time travel stories I have seen till date. Very logical with no loose ends and extremely heart touching. Every aspect of story has been dealt delicately and reasonably. Seriously Koreans have mastered the art of making sci fi time travel movies. Hv become a huge fan of Korean movies.

The movie started off good and I was hoping some mind twisting time travel and beautiful love story. But it was a big disappointment. The love story was weak and time travel was full of plot holes. The main character could have saved his love interest, still be friends with his best friend and still have had his daughter. This was my first korean movie disappointment.
