Obcecado

A soldier who has a bright future, has a beautiful wife and son-in-law of an influential general, what else is lacking?

This film shows that love sometimes comes at the most unexpected times, with unexpected people and in unexpected places. And sometimes love is so strong that we become obsessed with it.

If you don't have a problem with adult scenes, or to rule out such scenes, then this film will really impress you. Song Seung Heun and Lim Ji Yeon's appearance was stunning with their eyes falling in love. And kudos to the director and screenwriter of this film, who managed to capture the Korean atmosphere in the late 1960s.

This movie is predictable but from a romance movie perspective, it did touched my heart. Personally I think both actings are great. Especially the 'can't live without you' kinda feeling of SSH towards LJY. SSH brought the title of 'obsessed' to live. As an audience, I can feel the bitter and sweet of love in a couple. At the same time, the guilt, struggles and confusion in love affair. Initially I decided to watch this because of SSH hence, not much expectation as the rating in IMDB is rather low. However, after watching it, I would recommend this! And if you are a sentimental person, you would probably appreciate this even more. ^^

This movie, years after its release still tops my list for the must watch Korean movies. I am not fond of movies belonging to this genre but I must say that the plot is well written despite being a bit predictable. Kudos to Seung Heon who was at first try into this kind of genre for pulling off a wonderful acting. Ji Yeon was marvelous as well as she perfectly embraced her character!

hope i could write a short review but that does not how things work in IMDb so lets have a kick off word, great! the movie was great though not excellent, only those people who falls in love like crazy can super relate to this.

you could say this movie was bland if you didn't sincerely watch the movie, probably skipping/missing the essential parts.

sometimes movies isn't just about trying hard to get an applaud from an audience, sometimes it just have to target the feelings of the viewer so this movie is more like it. i could say this movie have caught me off guard of the struggling feelings of getting crazy over a woman. because basically i know that kind of feeling, the uneasy and always out of your mind, always thinking.

anyways, this movie isn't your typical interesting movie because this is more like a drama with conflict, the movie plainly revolves in two person, inspite of the fact that this movie lacks character build up and predictable and obviously plotted scenario. its still able to surprise you somehow at the end.

as for me, i love this movie, not because of the sensual scenes but because of how passionate and daring you become when you fall crazy in love at the wrong time. the temptation of self dictating heart that drives you crazy.

Oh by the way, this review is purely out of my personal feelings based on experience, this may seem bias but its not because i just felt the movie so im just telling what i felt about it.

So go ahead, watch this movie, its not like you will waste time for this, just think of it that your in the middle of traffic and stuck there for over two hours, you will enjoy this somehow and you will enjoy this even more if you experienced to be in love. i had to tell that i must be weird because i laugh out loud on how the guy have gone miserable because of a woman, i felt like i might end up like that too if i were on his shoe, I've done crazy stuff once when i fall in love.

So far the ending thoughts, may the temptation of thinking twice on whether to decide on watching this movie lead you on actually watching this,hehehe

The movie will grab your attention and the romantic scenes are passionate. The couple is good looking but the end is not worth watching.
