The Korean movie“The Sound of a Flower,” starring idol singer Suzy from missA, has disappointed critics.

After its opening last Thursday, reviewers and bloggers fired volleys at the movie, criticizing its poor screenplay.

The reviews said the movie, whose production began nearly a year ago, looked as if the scenes were dully patched together.

The film also failed to maximize the dramatic impact expected from a romance between Jin Chae-sun (Suzy), Korea's first female pansori during the 19th century Joseon Kingdom (1392-1910), and her teacher Shin Jae-hyo (Ryu Seung-ryong), reviewers said.

Bloggers lampooned the movie as well, saying only Suzy’s fans would want to watch.

Before the official opening, some reports described the film as “a movie made for and made by Suzy.”

After the opening, viewers rated the movie a horrendous 1-2 out of 10.

“Continuing from his last movie ‘The Piper’ (2015), Ryu has once again tasted a bitter ticket-sales bust with his recent movie, and Suzy, despite her fair acting in her recent movie, has realized how difficult it is to become a star with ticket-purchasing power,” one reviewer said.

“Putting in an effort doesn’t always mean a hit in Korea’s movie business,”the reviewer said.
