Movie Review:

To all local Korean movies fan, the stars-filled line up in this movie, featuring LEE Byung-heon, KIM Hyo-jin, CHOI Ji-woo and CHOO Sang-mi have already makes the ticket price worth. What more, attention have been set on these highly popular Korean stars, who actually shed their clothes to performed sensual scenes and daringly talking dirty in the movie.

With a genre that could easily falls into the category of tasteless, cheap-sex movie, surprisingly, this turns out as an exploration to the deepest desire in the heart of three women with an appropriate amount of wits, thrill and romance, all thanks to the direction of JANG Hyun-su, winner of the Daejongsang Award for Best New Director.

In a nutshell, the movie revolves three sisters, Mi-young (KIM Hyo-jin), Sun-young (CHOI Ji-woo) and Jin-young (CHOO Sang-mi) who had simultaneously fallen head over heels with Su-hyun (LEE Byung-heon).

Set-up in a "wicked" fashion, the movie fool audiences by first bringing them through the perfect romantic extravaganza between Su-hyun and Mi-young. The frame then roll back to the beginning scene, showing in a different camera angle, how Mi-young's second elder sister Sun-young, have secretly steal a relationship with Su-hyun behind the unwary Mi-young.
Then the scene rolls back the third time, again in a different camera angle, showing how Mi-young eldest sister, Jin-young had quietly involved in an extra-marital affair with Su-hyun!

Following the success of "Joint Security Area", LEE Byung-heon is undisputedly the most-sought-after actor in Korea currently. He had convincingly brought to life Su-hyun, a devilishly charismatic guy who is on surface an intelligent and well-mannered man, was in fact a guy with
deep-rooted frivolous nature. Ironically, his flirtatious manner does not make him any baddie, but an unbelievably charming guy that all girls would willingly fall in love with, again and again!

Although some may disapprove the agenda of the movie, one just can't help but enjoy watching how Su-hyun had stylishly managed the relationship with these three sisters! Talking about good time and stress management here.

So what would be the conclusion in this all tangled up four-some affair?
Let's keep it a secret, shall we?

Movie Rating: B-
