Amor 911

I have no idea what movie that "KineticSoul"'s review was criticizing. With its potent ability to draw in viewers, Love 911 was enticing, humorous, and altogether entertaining. I do not regret the hour or two spent on watching this. Although a bit sappy, as many other Rom-Com movies are, it is definitely a movie that is capable of giving that small, warm push needed after a bad day. Throughout the movie you'll find yourself sucked into this film, trust me. Don't believe me? Ask the 780 reviews on Naver, a top Korean web- searching site, that gave it a whopping total of 9.15 stars! Loved its charming actress, Han Hyo Joo, and most certainly the actor who really portrayed a man who seemed to have a stick up his-- ahem, haha, Go Soo. There is a certain degree of criticism needed in a review, and to be so cynical to a movie that is meant for a light-hearted vibe (especially a RomCom) is a bit unnecessary. To conclude, it was entertaining! Okay? A movie doesn't need to be a masterpiece to get ten stars (i'd actually give it an 8, but i mean 6.1? wth? gotta up this mofo). It made me happy and, I'm sure, gave a great laugh out of many others.

In romance movies, enemies-to-lovers trope is common, and it can be cute especially when a couple bickers back and forth with words. However, a guy who even raises a hand to slap a woman cannot be a love interest at all. It is not romantic; it is violence. That kills the whole vibe thus whole movie. Additionally, a guy who replaces a dummy for CPR to fulfill his sexual desire is just creepy, especially when he uses his superior position in the workplace. This is how a woman is treated in Korea and how people make it all okay with the word 'romance'.

I tried to like this one but it just got way too sappy, melodramatic, and just so darn predictable. It's fine if these elements work, but it just came off really dull for this one. It does have it's moments but it's just very very few. The plot is basically about the romance between a male firefighter that has emotional scars and a female nurse. The thing is, nothing really stands out about this movie. And I just couldn't think of a single scene that I got emotional with, except maybe close to the end. But even that wasn't all that gripping since the build up is pretty darn bland. Watching this was like watching a lot of Asian drama clichés mashed into a movie. Which can work but this lacks anything that grabs onto the audiences. If this came out a while back I would give it a higher rating but this came out in 2012 and doesn't bring anything all that new. I give it a 4.5/10 because watching it as a couple is somewhat alright.

4.5/10

Released in 2012, the movie stars Go-soo and Han Hyo-joo as the two main characters, along with actors like Ma Dong-seok and Jin Seo-yeon. Ma Dong-seok later established a new character in the series ROUNDDUP, while Jin Seo-yeon also played an original character in the movie BELIEVER.

In the movie, the details of the accident scene were poor, and the BGM felt like it was playing separately, but the dialogues from the beginning to the end were snappy. Above all, this was the movie where Ma Dong-seok's comical personality started to be revealed in the lead role. If you're curious about Korean-style jokes, this is a movie worth watching. Highly recommended!

The lead actor and actress have chemistry. But the story feels rushed contrived and the ending is predictable. It feels like they tried to squash a K drama into a 2 hour movie. A realistic thing is how they dealt with her medical mistake.

Not worth watching.
