not always you can do a right choice
I think it was beautiful and melodramatic. Only when you live enough you can tell when true love appears and it doesn’t choose the right moment and fair solution. I loved this movie for this dramatic real perspective of the one in pain of love. so true to real life. People can easily judge the adultery it’s true it’s unfair when it’s plain. I can agree to the anger of betrayal of those who are left behind and are also being fooled. It’s cruel to others but I love the male lead showing his arose pain and shooting his heart.I appreciate the actors and story as well as a real life depicting. the big pain and suffering just as real life can bring. you can judge it yourself by watching of course but I think they did a great job, that at the end we empathize with the ML even if committing a sin. great acting for me and directing.

Colonel Kim Jin Pyeong has settled into a quiet life after Vietnam. Despite PTSD and nightmares, he finds himself doing what he has to, to simply get through day-by-day. He carries an air of cold indifference wherever he goes, and whatever he does. Whether it's conversations with his wife, eating, sleeping, or shagging -- he's basically just existing. Until Jong Ga Heun moves in across the street, the wife of his subordinate. He realizes instantly that she is different from the other women that surround him on the base and in the residences. Calm, collected, cool; and oddly candid. It's a story about two people who are unhappy with the lives they are living, and how they try to find a way to manage the apathy.
I will admit, the lack of emotion between the two lead characters was stifling. I honestly never thought I'd see cardboard act with cardboard. However, after finishing, there was a moment when I teared up. I wasn't expecting it. If there was a way to put the acting in most of this film, it would be the words 'deadpan delivery'. Constantly. There is so little emotion from the two lead characters, and still even, a lack of chemistry, but perhaps that was intended. Since the characters seem to just be looking to escape their lives and themselves for a while. I wasn't drawn into the 'love story', but I suppose that's because it isn't a love story. The sets are nice, the lighting was well done, and the music is nothing to write home about. I suppose if I were, to sum up how I feel about this movie, the singular word would be: meh.

Well…
It’s exactly what it is. Erotica combined with a tragedy.Honestly I don’t know what I was expecting when I started this, I went into this movie blind but I knew it was in the erotica category. I was just curious because of the actress since I saw her in The glory the first time and liked her ever since. She did such a good job once again even in this movie.
I could definitely tell there was chemistry between the actors and the longing was something even I felt through the screen.
As for the uh, ‘erotic’ scenes, I mean I don’t know I kept laughing at it ? I don’t know maybe i’m just a little too immature for it still but the plot and sneaking around bit was what kept me watching.
I feel bad for the wife, she truly never blamed the mistress or her husband. She’s definitely my favourite character in the movie. On a side note the ending was actually heart breaking, I kinda called it though, I knew one of them was going to die.
But regardless a pretty entertaining watch.

Surprisingly beautifully filmed!
Obsessed is a 2014 South Korean erotic romance film about an affair between two married individuals, set in a military camp in 1969.I'd first like to say that I love the chemistry between the two leads; you can feel the intense emotions Song Seungheon has for Lim Jiyeon (and even the lack of feelings he has for his wife). Even the shy, demure looks Jiyeon gives Seungheon was beautifully incorporated in the feverish, passionate forbidden love between the two. I'm not sure if the costumes/sets in the film were historically accurate, but they added a nice touch to the mood, from the hair salon frequented by the commissioned officers' wives, to the steamy scene in the Jeep(?). I would also like to add that the music complemented the film very well, which is a first for me because I usually never pay attention to the scores used in dramas/films.
And yes, I believe that "Obsessed" has a high rewatch value, simply from how well the romance was filmed (.. and not just the sexy time scenes lol).

Mi aspettavo qualcosa di diverso.
Avevo sentito parlare di questo film come se fosse uno di quelli che non ti puoi perdere etc etc...beh sinceramente non l'ho trovato così fantastico.Non faccio la morale sul comportamento dei personaggi perché sono cose che chiaramente possono succedere ma personalmente mi ha deluso il finale che purtroppo non è proprio quello che mi aspettavo per i due amanti.Due persone sposate con altri che si innamorano scatta la passione e il tradimento,l'ossessione di stare insieme e il tutto in un periodo storico non proprio bello. La passione e le scene esplicite ci sono e i due attori sono fantastici ma diciamo niente di così scandaloso.
La storia anche se già nata male non avrà un bel lieto fine tutt'altro direi e sinceramente se lo sapevo forse no mi sarei nemmeno visto questo film.
In conclusione il film non è male se sorvoliamo sulla storia del infedeltà coniugale,c'è passione e attori bravi ma con un finale diverso sarebbe stato migliore.
