Audience Member This movie should have been a global hit, and I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out why it never happened. The movie is exquisite, but the IMDb website shows that Romantic Island grossed less than a million dollars globally. Either it was mishandled upon completion, or it intentionally targeted a limited audience. There is a small Catholic/Christian thread in the movie: this would make sense, since the Philippines is predominantly Catholic, and the movie is about Koreans vacationing in the Philippines. I hesitate to believe that Korean culture would not accommodate a little Western religion in this movie; rather, the only thing that makes sense is that this movie TARGETED a Korean Catholic/Christian subculture, but honestly the movie doesn't FEEL this way. It feels like mainstream material, so there's something going on here that I don't understand. This movie needs to be valued for the jewel that it is. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A very nice romantic comedy film Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member It was good for a one time watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member my favorite couple is Soo-Jin and Jae-Hyuk :D Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member not a bad korean romcom about 3 unlikely couples on a Philippine holiday. The Boracay beaches are rather nice. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member I am a sucker for romantic movies. This one is set in my favourite island BOROCAY and has LEE SUN KYUN and LEE MIN KI in it. Just the right movie to while away a hot lazy afternoon with a tall glass of pina colada!
