Crazy keeping track!, 31 May 2008
6/10
Author: freddyfraud from Canada

In South Korea, young men have compulsory military service for two years (24 months). This is the story of four separate men who leave their girlfriends behind, and then worry about what will happen to their relationships.

The soldiers return on leaves, and the girls occasionally visit the platoon where they're stationed.

The movie is promoted as a cute comedy, but plays more like an ensemble romantic drama. There are no sexy displays of affection like I've seen in other Korean flicks. Only one of the relationships could be considered comic.

I found the plot confusing because of the quick inter cutting of the different threads, but the acting was realistic enough and the writing was perceptive. There's no hard-hitting message, and overall the movie was an interesting insight into Korean youth culture.

The music was really good too, and at one point you find yourself concerned about whether the fledgling rock band will survive the turmoil.

Here's a scorecard to help you keep track.... In the beginning, these couples are together:

Min-chul (rocker) & Han-na (rock singer)

Eun-suk (college student) & Jin-ah (student & part-time lab tech)

Won-jae (an immature romantic) & Hyo-jung (physiotherapist, six years older!!!)

Hur-wook (certified a--hole) & Bi-ang (house-sitting leech)

also involved are Bo-ram (rock keyboardist) and Ki-sung (one guy's "best friend")
