      Audience Member It's funny in a weird way; the thriller side was humorously shown although I appreciate the more modern counterpart, My Ordinary Love Story (2014) despite it's more serious tone. The latter was simply better. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review jesse o I had no idea what this movie was trying to be or what it was trying to focus on. Is it a movie about this incredibly shy man coming out of shell and finally dating? Is it a movie about this woman who, outwardly, seems sweet but is actually a serial killer? Is it a romance? Is it comedy? Is it drama? It's a movie that just simply has no focus therefore it isn't consistently entertaining. I just don't think everything merges well into one nice and tight package. There's movies before that have managed more than one genre at the same time and done it successfully (Audition comes to mind) but this movie just throws it out there with no real rhyme or reason. First of the movie is about the guy, then it's about the girl, then it's about the guy figuring that the girl is actually a murderer, then it's about their relationship as a whole. That's pretty much how the movie is and, again, it just doesn't mix well. When you start getting into the movie, they pull the rug out from under you. And the movie is not bad, I mean it's not good but I think it had the potential to be better than your typical romantic comedy but it failed. And of course, it wouldn't be a South Korean film if there wasn't a melodramatic moment when they break up and the guy starts crying like a little bitch. And of course trying to make the girl into a likable sweetheart, despite killing an old man for her money and even saying that he was a burden on everybody and he was dying anyway so she sped up the process, kind of bothered me because we just had to take her word for it that this guy she killed was a douche. At least show him to be an ass to her in flashbacks. I mean how can I know that she wasn't lying? Other than that, it's a fairly inoffensive movie. You could do worse but you sure as shit can do better. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The male character was hilarious, especially before and after he fell in love. I think the movie needed either more humour and more gore. As it is it's just funny and nice... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member a farcical dark comedy which starts off like 40yr virgin but ends up unrealistic because pretty kang-hie choi's charact- er is too "easy". still, performers treat their roles seriously so, you become invested in them. passable entertainment. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member I had more expectations from this film. OVERACTING was so annoying only the girl protagonist was cool. Nothing i will watch again Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member this is really funny!!! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
