Drama Special Season 7: Explicit Innocence (2016)

It's like a sex education material delving on the psychological aspect instead of the 'deed' itself.

Story-wise there's nothing special about the plot, it is a portrayal of teenage student being curious about sex. Although the story is nothing special, the lesson is something worth pondering. If sex is something that you should do out of curiosity or not.

As for the cast, they are well fitted for the student characters and also the main leads had chemistry with one another. The other supporting roles like Yoon YooSun and Min SungWook are a good fit for the role as well. They were one of my favorite Ahjumma and Ahjussi actors.

This is something worth a shot specially for those curious teenagers thinking about doing 'it.'

First of all, every teenage boy and girl, and FORMER teenage boy and girl, can relate to the characters, as hormones start making both male and females start their personal quests to find sex and love during their teenage years.

This movie was so funny throughout; the young boy Joon Ho (Lee Joo Seung), is frustrated at his girlfriend Seo-Young (Kang Min Ah) who seems not to be interested in sex as much as he is...leading him to 'day dream' (you guys know what I mean!) about 'doing it' with her all the time!

Kang Min Ah does an especially good job of playing the girl, who underneath probably is as curious as her character boyfriend is about 'doing it' but asks the tough questions that every young couple should ask each other before giving up their virginity.

Anyway. he misinterprets what she says to him about after the national college entrance essay exam both of them are scheduled to take soon, which leads to more embarrassing and funny scenes!

I like the acting of both main cast members; they portray young high school kids convincingly, and in particularly, a couple.. The support cast, from his uncle, mother, pharmacist and even his best buddies all play their parts well; his uncle , Myung Ho ( Min Sung Wook) gives him excellent advice as to his relationship with Seo-Young, his girlfriend; advice he finds out to be more relevant than he realizes.

All in all, the support cast also excellently support the main cast members and the overall movie; the scenery and cinematography make you feel that you are in a high school environment, and the other locations all make you feel as if you are following high school kids around in their everyday life.

One especially funny scene happens after they all go to the seashore to watch the sunrise - be watching for it when you watch the movie!

I also liked the way Joon Ho's mother (Yoon Yoo Sun) accepted his being unsure of his future; I just wish all mothers were like her! The mother and uncle show how a real family operates!

As 'communication' is key to any relationship, i loved the way that Seo-Young kept communication open with Joon Ho, again with his period with his struggle with his future..

I especially like how they COMMUNICATED near the end; and especially how Seo-Young showed him that she 'liked' him more than he thought and was supporting him!

I give it a rating as high as Jeni & Juno (2005), another movie about adolescents growing up and the consequences of choices.

RE-WATCH-VALUE: Definitely, especially teens and pre-teens!
