Fly High

About This Movie

So, 'Fly High' from 2013 is a fascinating piece set in the 13th century, centering on Princess No Gu, who feels this deep pull for her homeland while stuck in Korea. The drama really gets to you, especially as her longing takes over her decisions, leading to that tragic escape. The atmosphere is thick with melancholy, and the pacing, while maybe slow for some, really lets you soak in the historical context and emotional weight. I found the performances to be pretty raw and real, capturing the essence of love and loss. It's not flashy in its effects, but there's a certain beauty in the simplicity that complements the story well. Definitely a unique take on historical romantic drama, if you’re into that vibe.
