I've been watching a lot of similar Japanese movies recently, so the contrast to this here was pretty stark. I couldn't help but think that everything Korean I see is like a vulgar, more low-brow version of the Japanese. There is not depth to the stories, the meaning and emotional richness it totally missing and it just feels kind of soulless in comparison. The characters are deceitful, materialistic, have over-inflated egos, no manners and are generally not very likeable. Especially the females are disgusting. Some of them look feminine, but they behave like male prison inmates. And the guys are just pricks, plus they let themselves get bossed around by the girls on top of it. I know it's supposed to be funny when a girl slaps a guy around, but it's just off-putting. I didn't like it at all. It's not funny either.
