Every culture around the world has its own unique sense of what is funny and what is not, so I feel that some westerners who watch this Korean comedy-drama might be a little taken aback as to what the filmmakers thought was funny. Some of the humor is amusing for Western viewers, though quite a bit of it is the broad and slapstick style often found in Asian movies. A little of this goes a long way, so that is maybe why I didn't laugh very much at the comedy. The drama portion of the movie is somewhat better, because you do get involved with the characters' plights, and you'll definitely be curious as to how everything will be wrapped up in the end. (And the ending of the movie - which I will not reveal - isn't quite what you'd find in a Hollywood movie.) However, the movie at 111 minutes is too long for its own good; had the running time been shortened by about 20 minutes, the whole package would run a lot better. Definitely not the worst Korean movie I have seen, and the movie is interesting for those who like Asian genre cinema, but it should not be your first choice should you be venturing into Korean cinema for the first time.
