All That Falls Has Wings

About This Movie

All That Falls Has Wings is this gritty yet heartfelt 1990 Korean drama that digs into youthful passion and the harsh realities that come with it. The law student, with his dreams tightly wound around academia, finds himself entangled with a free-spirited girl who's just as likely to pull him into chaos as she is to fill his heart. Their hazy days in Itaewon are marked by a mixture of hope and despair, and the pacing reflects that ebb and flow of youthful exuberance versus the weight of consequences. There’s a rawness in the performances that feels genuine, capturing the wild impulses of young love. Tragedy looms like a specter throughout, making the film linger long after the credits roll; it’s not just a story, it’s an experience.
