A good attempt ... But sadly not executed

Okay so if this was an attempt to try and do a BDSM movie, or recreate 50 Shades then this movie was a complete fail!!

The only reason I am giving this 6 star is for the attempt and the funny moments that were in this movie, but either than that it was really very disappointing to out right boring.

Firstly - I think the writers should have done an in-depth search on BDSM.
Secondly - The main leads did not suit each other one bit, they were both so stiff and not even well matched to say the least, the one pro on this, is that at least the female lead was a dominant, but again she did not suit this part and definitely did not come across as a dominant at all.
Thirdly - the whole DS relationship was so off track that you could not feel or even excited trying to watch it, I was really disappointed. They had right the name, for the movie but it just was not executed properly.

Now I am not sure if this taboo in Korea, considering that there are some really good BL coming from, but in all honestly if they are going to do BDSM they need to get the story, as well proper characters, to play these kind of roles (more like the couple from nevertheless)

The only other good thing of this movie, I guess you could say is the introduction to this lifestyle and that is portraying a male submissive as pathetic, but that it was not the case in the slightest. it did show by putting up definitions and explanations of terms on screen to make it easier to understand, but again it was not executed in the right, I think the writers/producers should have used 50 shades as a basis to understanding the lifestyle.

Overall: For me this movie was a bit of disappointed, but it in the same token it was an okay attempt to BDSM lifestyle.
