I have started more Korean movies than I can keep track of, and never make it farther than the first 15 minutes. I don't know what it is about them, but it seems to require Herculean effort on my part to continue on. All of that being said, this is the first one Iwas able to sit through. I randomly picked it because I wanted to try and find something to occupy my time til my drama buddies were ready to move on to a new drama. This movie was pretty funny, the lead guy made me laugh quite a few times. There were a lot of familiar faces in this drama, too. The lead from Vineyard Man, the president from City Hunter, the lawyer ex from Lie To Me. It was fun waiting to see who would pop up next. Storyline-wise, this movie was slow and a little dull. I really didn't care about the lead actress's first love at all, and they spent way, way too much time on it, instead of developing the relationship between the two leads. I get that it was about her trying to find her first love, but for some reason it felt like they spent too much time on it, since the guy gets only 30 seconds of screen time. It was neat how they used the lead guy to stand in his as the first love in all of the memory sequences, I will admit. All in all, this movie wasn't horrible, had some laughable moments and a cute kiss scene. But it lacked chemistry so it wasn't really serviceable as a romance, and wasn't really all that funny enough to be considered a comedy. If it were a book, I'd call it general fiction. If you are just looking for something to kill some time and only have Netflix as an option, I would recommend it. If you have other options, you might take a pass.
