    Where was the comedy in this?...
    Right, well the synopsis for this 2010 South Korean romantic comedy titled "Abbaga Yeojadeul Jongahae" (aka "Lady Daddy") definitely sounded fun and interesting. Usually the South Korean cinema makes good romantic comedies, and with my fascination with the Asian cinema in general, of course I opted to sit down and watch what writer Seon-Il Cheon and director Kwang-Jae Lee had to offer.

    However, "Lady Daddy" turned out to be a swing and a miss. While the concept idea of the story definitely was good and had lots of potential, then the execution from script paper to screen just wasn't all that impressive. The storyline was too slow paced and mundane, and it never really caught on with me.

    And it didn't help one bit that the character gallery in the movie was so bland. I didn't really care one bit about any of the characters, so it was difficult to get submerged into the storyline and take an interest in what was going on.

    Director Kwang-Jae Lee didn't rise to the occasion and failed to deliver a sure-win romantic comedy, something that usually is a homerun in the South Korean cinema. But hey, every now and again something has to fall short of being spot on. And "Lady Daddy" was one such occasion.

    I managed to sit through one hour of the 1 hour and 53 minutes that the movie ran for. Not only was the storyline bland and slow paced, but the movie was also way too long. The editing could have been more thorough, because it felt like you got nowhere in the pacing of the narrative.

    My rating of "Lady Daddy" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
