Love Clinic

This is a weird Korean movie. Or I think I've just watched my first erotic movie disguised as comedy. I'm not sure what happened there.

Anyway, if you're interested in the comedy part, the movie is pretty intriguing with lots of dirty jokes going around but in a cute way. How do I explain this? The main characters don't even have sex on screen but instead of that, the movie introduced a side character whose role is only to provide softcore porn scenes with other characters we don't care about. It doesn't contribute to the story at all. The other characters are there only to provide erotic relief (is that even a concept?)

That's my only negative with the movie. Why were those scenes necessary? They don't add anything to the story. Maybe I was not a target audience for this movie, lol.

Back to the main story. It's not even a story just a weird romance between a female urologist and a male obstetrician. Every time they are on screen, something have to go wrong and hilarity ensues. It's a shallow movie but better than most of the Hollywood comedies that are released every year.

Just remember it's a "very" adult movie.

The premise has some potential. A female urologist and a male obgyn. Unfortunately there is a lack of chemistry between the leads. The love declaration at the end is painful. The lead actress Kang isn't appealing enough. Someone like Uhm Jung Hwa would have been better. Oh Ji Ho is okay his usual charming goofy guy. Too make this a grown up comedy there are some explicit scenes that seem excessive for a comedy.

This was a relief to watch in between tv series. It's 30 based, funny and real. The actors are great at their roles and the subject matter is very sensitive to everyone.
