"Thank you for the meal"
A Dangerous Woman was a bizarre break-up film by Lee Ok Seop. Clocking in at under 30 minutes, the film hit a lot of notes, both comedic and dramatic.
Bo Kyung has been in a relationship with her boyfriend Deok Woo for four years. Sexually attracted to another senior she decides to break up with Deok Woo. Not however, until he’s carried a couch to her apartment and later a standing fan across town for her. He’s wanting to get married and she’s wanting to have sex with Soo Jang. A last sexual encounter with Deok Woo goes unexpectedly and sets Bo Kyung into a tailspin.
Girl had every right to break up with her boyfriend and he had every right to ask why. I have to say, Bo Kyung is not someone I’d ever want to have to count on in an emergency. I’m guessing the choking scene was played for laughs, but I didn’t find it particularly funny and her selfish actions were beyond the pale. Deok Woo was obviously crazy about her and his final reaction was funny. Hurt and angry he managed to get his feelings across without actually being violent. I suspect Bo Kyung will discover that Soo Jang will not be so accommodating and to quote Spock from Star Trek, “Having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true.”
There were funny, frustrating, and heartbreaking moments in this short film, but I'm probably the wrong generation for A Dangerous Woman. As much as I support women choosing who they want to be with, I found Bo Kyung's actions annoying and cold. Deok Woo may come to the conclusion that he dodged a bullet. Sometimes a fan can’t be fixed.
