Guys! Korean Romance is back. And it’s all thanks to the wonderful, daring Jeong Ga-young. I’ve only seen a few of her short films but she was able to bring what made those really good - how the writing simply flows in all facets, how clever the humor is, specifically the sexual humour which managed to make it frank and honest without getting vulgar and indulgent. The only difference is that the cinematography and camera work is more mainstream and commercialised than the static, indie nature of her work prior. And we lack her lovely absence on the screen, instead the film follows the perspective of the her surrogate, Ja-young (played by Jeon Jong-seo, who has had two terrific performances in my personal favourite, Burning and a great 2020 film, The Call), who is desperate for love (or sex; it switches a ton) when she meets Woo-ri (Son Suk-ku, who has gotten a rise in fame west of the world after a strong performance in the Korean Drama, Liberation Notes and has had strong seconary male roles in things like Matrimony Chaos and in Mother). Together the art of casual sex and love bloom in this 1 hour, 40 rom-com. This is a hit.
