This is my comfort movie! It was a such a fresh take on love and bdsm. It's not highly sexual, but it teaches about safety in bdsm and it's truly adorable. The acting is terrific, the chemistry is there. It's hilarious and I recommend it to rom-com lovers, bdsmers, and just anyone looking for a fresh movie to watch.

Muito bom. Quem ler a sinopse pode achar que se trata de um filme pornô. Mas não é nada disso, bem pelo contrário. É uma história suave que conta sobre um rapaz que gosta de ser dominado e de uma moça que tem por instinto atitudes dominadoras, ambos acabam se conhecendo, marcam encontros porém sequem têm relações sexuais, afinal a postura deles está muito além disso - ele quer que ela bata nele com o chicotinho, derrame vela em suas costas, e ela tem enorme prazer nessa ações. E só isso! rss É o tipo de filme interessante que dependendo da família até dá para assistir todos juntos (dependendo da família) pois é BEM mais inocente do que novelas das TVs abertas. Veja a limitação de idade, saiba que apesar de inocente o tema continua sendo este proposto e que haverá (um leve spoilerzinho) uma cena dentro de um sex shop com objetos eróticos mostrados explicitamente, porém a moça compra apenas uma vela para derreter nas costas dos moço pois esse é o desejo dele. Espero ter ajudado e não ter sido invasiva. Achei o filme bacana. Espero que aproveitem.

Brilliant presentation of BDSM as it really is, as opposed to Fifty Shades which panders and misleads. Portrayed as a loving and sensual interaction between two exploring people, filled with humor and overcoming confusion through mutual understanding, it would be nice to see more of this kind of movie. The only thing it is vaguely similar to it "Secretary." The difference is that these two are not working through underlying trauma. Seriously, we need more of the educational and comedic work to choose from.

Entertaining and lighthearted, but above all a sweet educational film about an alternative lifestyle

Ready Steady Cut

Hidden amongst the novelty is a genuine message of accepting oneself no matter what others may think, as well as a reasonably fair statement that if you find the right person, it may be worth “flipping your life upside down.”

Rated: 3/5

There are funny and light-hearted moments between them, and the situations that they get themselves into are hilariously ludicrous at times.

In many ways, Love and Leashes is progressive for Korea, as this film features a submissive man wanting a dominant woman master (but not a "dominatrix" exactly).

A fairly wholesome primer on what exactly dom-sub culture is.

Though Park Hyun-jins film might well underwhelm through its avoidance of anything explicit or Fifty Shades of Grey, its a solid Korean rom-com thats boosted by an appealing lead pairing.

Rated: 3/5

Seems far more intent on explaining and removing fear of the unknown and the label pervert from BDSM than it is in actually titillating, amusing or entertaining as it does.
