The film depicts a realistic tale of modern romance following three young people. The seemingly contradictory title alludes not only to the first sugary stages of love but also to its bitter end, as will surely come with the passage of time.

This romance has its moments, but it ultimately doesn't succeed.

Rated: 2/5

Sweet & Sour isn't a lighthearted first date movie. However, it'll likely resonate with many East Asian viewers, and provides an unexpectedly rich look at South Korea's contemporary societal woes.

Sweet & Sour joins the long list of romantic movies that show stalking in a positive light.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

It's a movie about the complexities of relationships whose embarrassing misogynistic tones make it borderline unwatchable.

Rated: 3/10

A Korean romantic fantasy that isn't remotely as cute and clever as those who made it seem to think it is.

This movie was amazing and the plot twist at the end is just magnificent. I was never the type of person to watch romance movies but this one changed my mind. It was to the point where I found my self sad and upset due to the main characters loss at the end of the movie.

Didn't like it. It was a very slow movie, and it didn't have that great theme nor plot.

About a couple past their honeymoon period and how they deal with the reality of juggling work and their relationship. The constant cuts from the past to the present didn't do much for the story and even left me confused at times. But, the story itself is a fun watch to pass the time.

I wanted to quit an hour in, but I'm really glad I didn't. It's a brilliant film, and the pain is part of the magic. It's not a light rom-com though. Not a fun ride, but a satisfying watch.
