The song says it best if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with. This movie quite literally was that in a nutshell. Loved it but dang sis made her bed and had to lie in it alone might I add.
I think this story is more than the obvious infidelity. It is about the need of give and receive love, and about choices. Both, are in dull, cold and passionless relationships. Appart the mental and behavior issues of their relatives are a terrible burden for them. This accidental encounter is like a moment to vent all the pain and even the love they want to feel, which they don't receive from their partners. At the end, choices must be made.
As a production, is excellent! The aesthetics of the scenes are wonderful. The bed scene was perfect, beautiful, no words needed. They communicate to each other and to the audience clear and loud, even in that passional silence. The combination of the actors was definitely great! Again Gong Yoo release all his grace, elegance, boldness and good taste. Do Yeon also...superb! Nobody better for that role. She is experienced and communicates great with soft gestures. I loved this movie. I don't know why I didn't see before.

Jeon Do-yeon is a great actress who has played so many controversial female roles and played all of them so well. She did a great job in this movie too. The reason why my wife and I both decided to call a quit in the middle was because we didn't like the man played by Gong Yoo, a guy so goofy with an insatiable strong sex drive, a guy with an fatal attraction to a woman who has sex with him once in Finland. The guy acted like a stalker, followed her back to Seoul, always loitered around outside her Surreal But Nice fashion store. He didn't love her but only wanted to continue the sex relationship. Gong Yoo in this movie also acted poorly, he was so rigidly awkward and so goofy. There's no believable chemistry between him and Jeon Do-yeon. In addition to the uninteresting scenarios and his poor performance, his disgusting lowlife-like role seemingly became the main reason we decided to drop out of this movie earlier unexpectedly.
