I didn't really go into this movie expecting a lot; but it was still disappointing. Korea seems to be good at churning out romantic comedies, but not many of them would make the cut as a 'good' romantic comedy.

I only watched this because I like Moon Chae Won and Yoo Yeon Seok. I guess that's how other viewers would have been hooked into watching the movie. The premise of it taking place on a KTX train was interesting too.

The premise of the show was slightly misleading - I thought the whole movie would take place on a KTX train, but really, it was just the start of the movie. From then, many of the usual rom-com cliches kicked in. A girl struggling in her high heels, taken for granted by, plus a playboy who likes to sleep around, but who is actually, deep down inside, a romantic and sincere man at heart. I just felt like I've seen all this before.

The addition of the subplot of trying to locate a up-and-coming basketball player really did not serve much purpose or give more meaning or depth to the movie. Jo Jae Yoon was as usual, some small comic relief, but not enough to excite me about the movie on the whole.

Overall, if you're looking for some light comic relief and need something to pass your weekend afternoon, you could watch it. But I won't promise that it will be the best use of your time.
