If there’s one Korean movie from 2024 that left a deep mark on people’s hearts, it’s My Name Is Loh Kiwan. This isn’t your regular romantic K-drama movie — it’s raw, emotional, and painfully real.
The movie follows Loh Kiwan, a North Korean defector who escapes to Belgium in search of freedom, survival, and a reason to keep living. Far away from home and stripped of everything familiar, he meets Marie, a woman who’s also struggling with her own past and pain. What starts as a cold, hopeless story slowly turns into a beautiful reminder of how two broken people can still find warmth in each other.
From the very first scene, My Name Is Loh Kiwan pulls you in with its realism. The cinematography captures loneliness perfectly — grey skies, quiet streets, and those moments of silence that say more than words ever could.
The performances are on another level. Song Joong-ki, who plays Loh Kiwan, completely disappears into his role. You can feel his hunger, exhaustion, and heartbreak in every look and breath. It’s not just acting — it’s living the pain of someone who’s lost everything but refuses to give up.
And let’s not forget the message. This film reminds us that even in a world that seems cold and unforgiving, there’s still a chance to rebuild, to love again, and to find a reason to stay alive.
My Name Is Loh Kiwan isn’t flashy, it’s not full of action — it’s full of truth. And that’s what makes it unforgettable.
So if you missed it last year, take some time this weekend, grab your snacks (and maybe some tissues 😢), and watch it. Trust me, it’s one of those movies that stays with you long after the credits roll.
