A Bizarre Love Triangle (2002) User Reviews

Not so bad

[Sysel_CZ · 6/10 · 10 May 2005]

Before watching this movie, I read the comment here and the vote summary, and I thought it would be the worst movie ever. But the truth is that it's not.

Bizarre love triangle is not an excellent movie in any way; it can be bad if it's treated as a comedy, maybe. When I finally watched it, I forgot that it should be comedy; I assumed it's a little bit cheesy drama, and it was alright.

There are some laughs, there are some sad events, I've definitely seen much worse pieces of cinema.

I can't fully recommend it, but it's a fine movie when you've nothing else to do.

Indeed a bizarre love triangle...

"A Bizarre Love Triangle" is somewhat of an acquired taste. It is not the movie that will appeal to just anyone. Why? Well because of the odd approach to the comedy genre that it is, I will say it borders more on actually being a drama, but with a slightly surreal and sarcastic approach to life and relationships.

The story is about Keum-Sook (played by Hyo-jin Kong) and Eun-Hee (played by Eun-ji Jo) who has been together since they were school girls, going through thick and thin together. They end up in love with one another, but their relationship is cut short as Keum-Sook ends up having to go to jail. In her loneliness, Eun-Hee marry comedian and TV star Doo-Chan (played by Kwang-il Choi). Once freed from jail, Keum-Sook seeks out her love, but things have changed.

"A Bizarre Love Triangle" is really unique in its own way, and I think you must really love Korean cinema to find this movie entertaining. I do like Korean (and Asian) cinema a lot, and I did enjoy "A Bizarre Love Triangle". It approaches life and relationships in a great way.

The movie was nicely acted, and the people cast for the roles really did a good job to carry the movie. This was important, as the movie had a tendency to take a rather long time with most scenes.

If you sit down to watch "A Bizarre Love Triangle", then be prepared to watch something that is not your average mainstream Korean cinema.

Stay away

This one went straight to the top on my list of horrible korean comedy experience. I just can't find enough words for this crap. The top 3 Korean movies to not waste time nor money on are as following. 1, Taekwon girl 2, Jailbreaker 3, Married to the mafia

I'm normally a big fan of Korean film, even biased sometimes, but there are no loopholes for these movies. Especially this Taekwon girl which without a doubt is the worst Asian film I've ever seen. On behalf of Korean filmmaking, I'm truly ashamed.

if Almodovar were Korean ......

A very sweet tale .... Almodovarian feel to the entire piece; maybe a large influence on the filmmaker

Many aspects of this make me say that: a few Spanish tunes; the furniture the way of framing shots; also the way men and women relate here

The "décousu" style chronologically (it is not linear) and also the narrative jumps a few times; it is a tale from 2002 recounted in the future on a different planet 2030s i think it said; never is too stretched that one could not follow the tale

I sincerely wish all humans on the face of the earth in 2021 were open-minded enuff to live the way the folks here do

Is it a masterpiece? No Is it interesting and very decent an effort? Overwhelmingly yes. Watch it.
