Perhaps Love

Not your ordinary romcom.

I did not really read the plot when I started the movie because it's Ryu Seung Ryong. What other reason do I need, right? However, after a few minutes, it made me go back and read Viki's summary for it.

Warning! This movie is a romantic comedy. My review is not because I want to focus on what made me talk to myself while watching it.

This thought-provoking film made me realize that sometimes, two people have different opinions, and both may have a point. I felt particularly torn when Yoo Jin expressed his love for Kim Hyun. He only wants to let it out of his chest, not expecting anything in return. However, this might be burdensome to Kim Hyun because he did not feel the same way.

Overall, it's a feel-good movie. It did not have a dull moment, and I laughed most of the time. If you like to watch a one-sided BL movie, this is worth your time.

Different kinds of love

I'm not sure if I can describe this as a romcom or comedy because there's not a lot of love here, but they are all in some kind of relationships.

The male lead is in a writing slump and meets a gay writer who is in love with him. The ML's second wife is abroad and he deals with his first wife regularly because their son is a trouble maker. The first wife is secretly dating the male lead's editor while the son strikes a friendship/falls in love with the neighbor lady who is married but husband is away.

It's too complicated and chaotic when the stories all come together. I didn't find the movie funny, except for the scene where the son finds his parents in bed together.

The other noteworthy thing is when the homophobic male lead ends up understanding and supporting the gay writer.

Rating: 8/10

Chaotically Messy but Weirdly Real

Perhaps Love was one of those movies I discovered through a random short clip that instantly made me curious. It looked fun, awkward, and chaotic and thankfully, that’s exactly what it delivered. The comedy here isn’t the loud slapstick type. It’s more awkward, situational, and rooted in how messy human relationships can get, which honestly made it even funnier for me.

What surprised me is that beneath all the chaos, there’s actual depth and emotion tucked into the story. The relationships and situations are so oddly intertwined that I kept thinking, “대박 말도 안돼” because what are the chances of all these connections happening? But at the same time… life really does get absurd like that sometimes. That mix of ridiculousness and realism somehow works in the movie’s favor.

It’s not my usual kind of film, but I genuinely enjoyed it until the end. I kept bracing myself for what insane or emotional thing would happen next, and that unpredictability made the whole ride entertaining. Messy, strange, emotional, and unexpectedly relatable in its own bizarre way.
