Blue Fog (2001)

Don’t Waste Your Time

A 46-year-old married man meets a 23-year-old woman, feels young again and decides it must be true love. Of course.

Sung-jae spends most of the drama acting like he is the tragic victim of his own affair, while his wife and daughter deal with the actual consequences. Shin-woo sees the father she lost in him, he sees his lost youth in her, and somehow the drama expects this to feel romantic.

I usually enjoy age gaps, affairs and morally questionable characters, but this relationship was simply dull. There was no chemistry strong enough to justify all the suffering, and Sung-jae came across as a selfish man turning his midlife crisis into everyone else’s problem.

The production was also quite poor, which made an already unconvincing relationship even harder to watch.

Just terrible.
