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.

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.

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

It was an amazing movie with some good twist! The acting was done well because I was truly mad at some so please watch and give it a try!

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.

I am not a fan of romance movies, but I watch them when my wife wants to. This one was much better than most. It kept my interest throughout and never felt lame or cliched.
