6 Movies To Sprinkle A Bit Of Magic On Your Holidays
What are holidays without warm cookies, a bit of magic, and a good movie? Here are six magical movies to satisfy your cravings:
“Are You In Love”
Given to her by a mysterious woman, a book called “Are You In Love” gives So Jung (Kim So Eun) the answer to spice up her love life. What has so far been sad and colorless is now vibrant with every man at her feet! Much to her delight, even the cold-hearted Seung Jae (Sung Hoon), whom she has always had a crush on, is looking at her differently. Will this magical book give her the love she has always dreamed of? Or will it prove to be just a mischievous prank?
“Are You In Love” is an easy romantic flick to watch, especially if you’re looking for something unrealistic and satisfying. First of all, we get to watch things finally turn out for the better for our helpless heroine. What’s more, we see the irresistible Sung Hoon fall head over heels for her, becoming the sweetest, most romantic guy ever. That should be convincing enough, right?

During this ruckus, Tae Joo is knocked unconscious—only to find out he can now communicate with animals!
If you’re an animal lover (and wish you could talk to your dog), this movie is for you. Watching animals guide Tae Joo’s way to rescue the VIP is not only extremely funny and suspenseful, but also heartwarming. And of course, adorable! This magical, family-friendly, and funny experience will surely cozy up your holiday night.

“The Beauty Inside”
To some, it may seem like Yi Soo (Han Hyo Joo) is going on a date with different people every day. But in reality, all the men and women she is in love with are just one man, Woo Jin (played by Park Seo Joon, Park Shin Hye, Lee Dong Wook, Seo Kang Joon…the list goes on). Every morning, Woo Jin wakes up to find himself in a completely new body, which ranges from a dashing young man to a kindergarten student. Every morning, Yi Soo lies in her bed, waiting for her unfamiliar yet familiar lover to come find her.
“The Beauty Inside” is bound to make you cry, laugh, and most importantly, think about the real meaning of love. Yi Soo did not love the mere attractive appearance of Woo Jin, but the beauty he held inside. That faith is what held them so strongly together, even though neither of them knew what tomorrow would bring. The fantastic cast studded with the brightest of Korean movie stars brings this beautiful, magical love story to life.

“Green Snake”
The guardian of Luochuan River, Xun Ya (Ma Jia Ming), newly finds himself the guardian of the Green Snake (Nan Shen) when she falls into his river injured from lightning. Determined to keep the Green Snake happy, Xun Ya builds an inn on the banks of Luochuan River and brings to life a talisman paper in the form of a young man, Zhe Sheng (Dong Li Wu You). Together, the Green Snake and Zhe Sheng care for the inn for 300 years peacefully. But as all good things must come to an end, the peace is broken when a chaotic, furious demon brings his wrath to destroy their worlds.
This story of love and sacrifice is for those who believe in fate and true love. It’s a real tearjerker, but what’s better than a good, heartbreaking romance film to cry your heart out to? The beautiful cinematography, not to mention the impressive acting skills, makes this mythical legend more convincing and realistic than ever. You won’t be disappointed!

“Fantasy Magician”
When local “policeman” Zhou Tong (He Peng) is maliciously framed by a rival for a crime he did not commit, he seeks out aid from a powerful group of superhuman guardians to clear his name.

With new friends come new enemies, and soon Zhou Tong and his friends find themselves facing bloodthirsty demons descending on the town, threatening eternal doom.
What’s a better combination than magic and action? If you’re a sucker for the superhuman-group-of-friends-fighting-for-justice-against-evil theme like I am, “Fantasy Magician” has got you covered. Watch what could only happen in a dream (if you dream about gigantic snakes, count yourself in) come alive before your eyes in this tale of friendship and justice.
