I went from never being able to finish a Korean movie to watching 2 in one night. That is solely to blame on Joo Ji Hoon. Dear god, is that boy pretty. I was sucked into this movie because the poster on netflix looked adorable, and it had Shin Min Ah and Joo Ji Hoon in it. The goal was just to start it and watch the first few minutes and go to bed. Unfortunately (for my bedtime, anyway), the first few minutes involved one of the hottest scenes I've ever seen in Korean entertainment, since I only watch dramas and they are more PG. So, after watching Shin Min Ah and Joo Ji Hoon getting it on, I was really looking forward to more passionate scenes. What I got was kind of lukewarm instead. Of course, it's a love triangle, and Min Ah's character was married to her childhood friend, so there are complications in the way. But what could have been a really amazing movie about a woman growing was just kind of a weird tale of people who were super blase about cheating until it became clear the feelings still lingered. Ji Hoon remained rather adorable throughout, until he was confronted by the husband and then he seemed kind of petulant. I wasn't a fan of the ending, either, though I don't want to spoil why. It just felt like the easy way out to end it that way. Anyway, if you are a fan of Joo Ji Hoon, then this is a must watch. Or at least, the first 15 minutes are a must watch, that is. Though, you might be more satisfied by just googling the one sexy scene, if that's what you are looking for. I gave this such a high rewatch score simply because of that one :p
