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?
