Kim Soo Mi was amazing as usual, not her first role as a cussing "machine". She always nails it. But that was pretty much it. They go all melo/redemption/national hero and you don't even remember you were watching a comedy. The transition/storytelling isn't smooth, so the result is a quite unbalanced movie. Running after too many themes/angles leaves the viewer at most with a raised eyebrow...
Watch if you are bored or a fan of this talented actress. If not, you won't be missing something special ;)
5.5/10
Chi-Ho is an unemployed philanderer whose No. 1 priority is chasing women. Gyung-jae is an ordinary university student and Dong-woo, who dreams of becoming a cartoonist, is given a reality check when he's forced to be the breadwinner for his family while studying to get into college.
Chi-ho, Kyung-jae, and Dong-woo are high school friends. The story begins after the three graduate high school. Chi-ho, a handsome, clumsy, optimistic “player” who is only interested in bedding the next woman he meets, does not go to college. His day begins with him doing completely nothing and ends with him seducing girls from clubs. His parents are furious with him because he doesn’t have a plan in life but Chi-ho isn’t fazed. He randomly meets a budding actress during a car accident and after falling in love with her, he begins to search for his direction in life. Kyung-jae, the smartest out of the three, is accepted into a respectable college and enjoys freshman life. He meets the girl of his dreams during freshman initiation and falls head over heels for her. However, Kyung-jae’s shy personality hinders him from expressing his true feelings for her. Dong-woo’s dream is becoming a cartoonist but after his father files for bankruptcy during high school, he skips college and is forced to work part-time to provide for his family. He struggles with pursuing his dream, working part-time for petty cash, and finding the right girl. The movie provides an honest but humorous depiction of the struggles of adolescence.
Movie ASLEEP was recently selected as the opening film for the upcoming 2015 Osaka Asian Film Festival (March 6-15, 2015).
