Not all that realistic and contrived of unlikable and demeaning characters

This movie was a hit in Korea when it came out so decided to check it out. What this is, is about despicable and demeaning guy that tries everything to sleep with his coworker even though he has a girlfriend. And the way he tries to achieve this is an embarrassment. His philosophy on relationships is just degrading. A lot of Korean movies, you just can't like most of the characters because they are despicable with no moral values. And this guy in this movie is just like one of those characters, seen worse but that ain't saying much. Everything about this movie is so awkward, I am not sure is most Korean act the way it's portrayed in this movie. But it's just awkward plain and simple. I don't know why this movie did so well in Korea cause it just isn't a very good adult romantic comedy. My guess is, it's because the characters are people a lot of the audiences can relate with. It can be a movie that makes couples want to have sex. Or the male audiences just wanted to see Kang Hye-Jung naked. The ballsy dialogue and blunt aspect is what makes this movie stand out, but the direction this movie heads makes both the main characters dis-likable. Some say this is suppose to go in a realistic direction, I never grew up in Korea but in the US the things that happen almost 99% of the time you won't really get away with or make it work. Really disliked how the guys grotesque approach makes the lead girl fall for him. The whole movie is appalling in a negative way and annoying all the way through. I give this movie a 3.8 cause there are some people like this in the real world and is a bit of a different take on movies that revolve around relationship. And because when it comes to the gossip and rumor aspect of this movie I ended up having slight remorse for the characters. And at least when it came to that part of the movie it was realistic and watchable.

3.8/10
