Mood of the Day

Unlike the usual chaste K drama series this movie has people talking about sex and having one night stands. Movies always can be more realistic than dramas. The story is alright - and things come together quite well. A playboy propositions a woman he meets on the train to Busan. It's quite fun to see how they do fall for each other properly. Moon Chae Won is a good actress I like to watch and Yoo is suited to the playboy.

It's okay - not the greatest but at least it's a grown up story.

I enjoy the romcom genre and I really wanted to love this movie. Everything is set up for a good movie (good actors, decent story). Maybe a little bit contrived, but that's what happens in romcoms.

I've read enough about bilingual speakers saying that English subtitles in Korean movies only show about 30% of what's actually said. After years of consuming Kdramas and movies, this movie is the first time I could tell I was missing out on a lot of the dialogue. I had to figure out what was being said based on context, but it still didn't work.

Context is fine most of the time, but in this case, it made for an on-screen connection being built that I couldn't see. On top of that, it was hard to understand the conflict towards then end, when most of the dialogue isn't shown.

I'm almost positive I would have given this at least a 7 or 8 if I could understand Korean.

This movie was unexpectedly pretty good with a very pleasant romance story about a guy who always does one night stands with various girls and about a beautiful girl who is in a unsatisfying relationship with her boyfriend for 10 years. The movie also consists of multiple laughable scenes. The story was very warm-hearted which made me like it. The plot was how the guy tries to pursue the girl to do a one night stand with him. I recommend it if you are looking for a pleasant romantic movie.

I'm not a big fan of romantic comedies but this light weighted Korean comedy is quite entertaining. There is a good chemistry between the two main characters and it is real fun to watch them. I thought especially Yeon-Seok Yoo perfectly fit his character. I remembered him from playing a king in 'The Royal Tailor' and a perfect villain in 'Perfect Proposal' so I was impressed with a change. Actually a romantic comedy suits him really well. He's got the look for it.

This movie seemed pretty fun in the trailer and I could't wait to watch it. In the beginning it was funny and seemed promising, but it went downhills throughout the movie. It became plain and it wasn't really what I expected it to be. It wasn't bad, but not worth more than 6 stars. I feel like it was such a waste especially for the actors because the story just needed something to spice it up. The actors on the other hand were amazing, they deffo had chemistry and their acting was great but I would have loved to see them in a different drama or movie with a better storyline.

I'm not saying I don't recommend it because some might like it, but don't expect too much of this. This was more a time killer for me.
