Romantic exploration confuses subtlety with aimlessness; still Kang may be one to watch, 8 May 2006
7/10
Author: Chris Knipp from Berkeley, California

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

A Korean relationship movie by a young director who lacks the individual style of Hong Sang-soo. Fashion business lady Hyun-jung (Moon So-ri) is dumped by her seven-year boyfriend (Lee Seon-gyun) and quickly dates and marries office mate Sangkoon (Kim Tae-woo). He seems to bore her and goes south to work when she's pregnant; she periodically encounters the old boyfriend and toys with a reunion and divorce. Convincing acting by the lovely and soulful Moon So-ri and specific details about families don't quite save this picture from seeming bland and overlong; Kang's writing confuses subtlety with aimlessness. Marginally worth inclusion in a festival (it was part of the San Francisco 49th, April 2006); there are livelier, more able Korean films out there. But Kang may still be one to watch.
