Reviews
I have no idea, I just found this film in one of my collections while I had nothing better to do so I just watched it.
2) Storyline/Plot:
This was a multiple stories film, oe of the genres that I like to watch.
Positive points:
*A romatic comedy that had more interesting events than other films from the same genre.
*The three love stories were combined together in a way that would allow the final twist to happen.
Negative points:
*The film's story isn't unique or special. Actually, it was full of cliche and cheesy moments.
*The stories took a boring level at some point.
Story: 6/10
3) Acting/Cast:
*Lee Sun Gyun and Lee Min Ki were probably the main reason I continued watching this film until the end not only because of shallow feelings but their characters seemed more appealing than other characters in this film.
*The acting was a strength point that counts for this drama but I can't say the same about charachter because most of them felt annoying most of the time.
Cast: 6.5/10
Acting: 8/10
4)The ending:
An intresting twist accured near the end which made this film a little special than other romantic comedy films.
The ending: 8.5/10
5) My impression (How did affect me):
*There were a lot of boring moments but I didn't fell asleep so that's a good point.
*I only enjoyed the twist near the end but I will probably forget this film very soon.
My impression: 4.5/10
6) Overall:
*If you like romantic comedies then you may like this if you don't expect much from it.
Overall: 6/10.
