My P.S. Partner (2012)

Ok, let's just say I wasn't expecting some of the graphic scenes in this movie, but I forged ahead (and learned that the Korean movies are drastically different from the dramas) thinking I would give it a chance anyway. I'm so glad I did. Once you get past those first couple of scenes this movie is not as superficial (or really as titillating) as you might think given the first parts of it before the leads meet. I enjoyed this romance story much more than I thought I would. The leads were well acted and had good chemistry together. I loved how they brought the two together and the course of their relationship with one another. The romance, while an unbelievable premise, actually seemed quite realistic. The song at the end is both risqué and beautiful at the same time - but only because of the story they built up to in order to get there. Worth a re-watch.

Surprising in much more sexual content than in most

This is a 2012 South Korean Romantic Comedy movie with a run time of 1:57 (HH:MM)

Yoo-Jung (Kim Ah-Joong) is not your typical South Korean female, she owns a lingerie company and is a bit more of a free spirit with her sexuality. Desperate to bring the spark back to her long term dating relationship, she calls her boyfriend to have phone sex. What she does not know is she dialed a stranger one who is heartbroken from seeing his ex, who he had a long term relationship with, get in the car with another man. Hyun-seung
(Ji Sung) answers the phone on a night he attempted to drink away his sorrows. When the sexy voice on the phone starts murmuring words that are the fabric of every man’s sexy dream, he just goes with it figuring he is getting a free sample or something. At the end of the call Yoo-Jung discovers it was not her boyfriend and is horrified over her sexy conversation with a stranger. Hyun-seung calls after a upsetting incident planning to get relationship advice and instead gets an earful from a mortified woman. Once they talk it out and realize the sexy call was a case of mistaken identity they begin to talk for real. Each find the other easy to talk to and a series of phone calls lead them to meeting in person. After an intimate night together their feelings grow deeper but Yoo-Jung‘s boyfriend finally proposes and Hyun-Seun
g s girlfriend returns. Did fate play matchmaker or was this brief interlude the thing to put their love lives back on track with their former partners?

Spoiler 🚨 This was way more risque and ribald than I am used to with South Korean movies and television series. There were a lot of sexy scenes that are unusual based on hundreds of shows I have watched. It was refreshing as their relationship just seemed a lot closer and it was easy to see how they would’ve developed feelings so quickly for each other. I really liked both of the main actors and the chemistry between the two was really good.
The storyline was interesting how just a chance meeting may lead to the love of your life. It reminds me a bit of an American movie I saw called “He’s Just Not That Into You”.. The aspect that reminded me of that was when someone does not move on to the next level in a relationship it could be due to the fact that they are not as into the person as would be best in a committed relationship. And when someone leaves and then comes back later it’s often best not to take that person back because at some level there was not enough love to keep the relationship going. I liked it all the way through and it ended well.

Easier to confide in a stranger

A really good movie, cute and bold, but which for once considers man/woman relationships in a realistic way, with an oh so cute Ji Sung!

A man depressed after his breakup, receives a sex call in the middle of the night (in fact intended for the FL's boyfriend). They will discover each other step by step and end up really loving each other.

Excellent directing, good OST and a lot of young actors who will become famous later...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Très bon film, cute et cru, mais qui envisage pour une fois les relations home-femme de façon réaliste, avec un Ji Sung craquant!

Un homme en dépression suite à sa rupture, reçoit un sex call en pleine nuit (en fait destiné au boyfriend de la FL). Ils vont se découvrir peu à peu et finir par s'aimer vraiment.

TB réalisation, bons OST et un tas de jeunes acteurs qui vont devenir célèbres ensuite...

Ji Sung just nailed the role

•Watched it only for ji sung and its 18+ title to know the story. And its really good and gives you break from a typical romcom.

•Story- nicely written. With shocker introduction. I liked that how friendship developed into.

•Acting- huge fan of ji sung and his acting. But this was like a blast when I saw him, although its just acting, it gave me shivers, and thats why he is just excellent.

Kim ah joong was also nice, as in phone voice she sounded really sexy.

The chemistry was natural and soft.

•Music- ofcourse the “panty song”.its lyrics are so amn hilarous yet so emotional. Ji sung sang it awesomly and really hits hard.

▪︎Rewatch- since its 18+, once is enough for me.

The ending saved this movie for me. First of all: such movies are my cup of tea: interesting, different, mature. It's about the hardships in life, about love and success. And yeah, it's vulgar. I think it was too vulgar, and believe me, I'm not a prude. But seeing so many rather cheesy and childish korean drama, this was extremely refreshing. It's just that all the focus on the sex seemed off to me. It wasn't really done for comedy. I cried more often than I laughed in this movie. Like I said: the ending was the best. It was really romantic and touching and fitted the overall feeling I got from watching this movie. I really enjoyed it.

Great if you're looking for a fun, clichéd film

SPOILERS!

SHORT REVIEW: This is a really fun movie to pass the time because the leads have great chemistry, and it's a fun, cliché plot. I also really loved how open this film was about sexuality. I found that really refreshing.

LONG, WHINY REVIEW: I can't help but find it frustrating that the main girl stays in her relationship with her scumbag boyfriend when she's clearly unhappy. I don't care if you've been together for 5 years and want to marry, if your relationship has reached the point where you're cheating, break up!! And the way the male lead went out again straight away with his ex once it seemed clear to him that the female lead would never leave her boyfriend...I just can't relate to such neediness. I mean ffs, there's nothing wrong with being single, people!

Also, this was only a small moment in the movie but I really didn't like the weirdly casual reference made by one of the male lead's friends to paying for prostitution. He makes some whiny comments about how he's sick of paying for sex because you only get fake moans etc., and he wants the real deal. I understand that the attitude towards prostitution may be different from what I'm used to in South Korea, but I'm not up for such trivialisation of prostitution.

i dont know this film for 18+ or 19+..so i just searching all drama and movies that been acting by Ji Sung. I was really shock by the 10 minutes introduction of this movie with Ji Sung sex scene eventhough now i am 37 years old. For me, he is the best actor and idol for me in his daily life. When i see Ji Sung in RUN Program, he make me want to active back in sport after brain tumor operation. Although the movie My PS Partner has been aired 8 years ago, but he has been dating Lee Bo-young for a long time before that and i hope Ji Sung be more careful in choosing the drama or movie he want to join. I cant say anything, but as your fans..you can think a lot before doing something because now you have your wife and children that really loving you. And never forget about your fans that supporting you comes from all over the world and have the different religions. Please think of other people's feeling that love you especially your wife and your childrens. What your childrens think when they see that sex scene? Sorry Ji Sung if i have to say this to u because u are my idol..after 10 minutes introduction of this movie, i shut down my laptop. So, im sincerely remind you about this thing, if you want to be the person which much more healthier until your children married, please please please and please stop acting in this kind of drama or movie that full of sex and nudity. I cry when i have to say all this thing to you, because i want you live happily forever with your wife and children and always become the healthier person forever that inspire me to be as healthty as you are. I give the star not because i like this film, but to say something what i feel. Suddenly, the respectful that i gave to Ji Sung is gone. TQ for giving me a chance to say something eventhough i will never supporting this movie
