I dont know about the performance, because there isnt much of it. its almost silent movie. quality is also ok for 2001 korean cinema.

its about a horny fugitive who lives 2nd floor and watching hot wife in sleeping dress, later he goes for some real action which he did and she likes it. and then film goes so so from that point of view.

anyhow , its also a sad ending too , which is kinda stupid.

SUMMERTIME is probably too explicit in the sex department. It doesn't have to be, but there you have it. If plenty of skin and simulated sex doesn't turn you off, then SUMMERTIME offers up an interesting take on South Korea's road to democracy. The movie itself is a thin allegory to South Korea's turbulent late '70s and early '80s, as the democracy movement gained steam and was finally able to tear free from the restraints of their military dictators.

The film itself could have used some subtlety, and most people unfamiliar with South Korea politics and history would not "get" this part of it. Still, for those who know, SUMMERTIME gives a good microcosm of the events of the time.

But again, the movie is rather sexually explicit, so be warned.

"Summer Time" is an erotic drama with lots of nudity and sex scenes. They are beautifully shot. But what goes on around the sex is nothing of interest. It's basically the story of a young man who watches his neighbors in bed, gets aroused and has sex with the wife by imitating her husband. When she discovers that the guy sleeping with her is not her man, she doesn't push him away. They become lovers. An adultery movie. I guess we had that before.

There is a certain edge to you average adultery movie though: "Summer Time" is pretty rough. For example, the first shot and the finale are bloody. And you see a shot of sperm. Those offended by such a depiction should best avoid "Summer Time". Everyone else is not really urged to watch it neither - because it's not very good. There are way better ways and films to kill 104 minutes.

Rating: 5/10

This movie is apparently a tribute or a remake of the Filipino movie Scorpio Nights. The original directed by Peque Gallaga that have reached cult status.

Many of the film aspects were originally retained like the protagonists and supporting characters, scenes with some variation from the original and location/setting of the house is alike but only in a different country and also the character's story arc were different.

The main character was silent, reserved and a bit mysterious. Compared with the lead from Scorpio Night that was more stoic and not lively. The supporting characters or the neighbors here has only a minor role unlike the original which can be a representation of the society back then.

Overall it was a good remake and it has great perspective in varying certain scenes but the ending was so-so.

In the condemnation of human morality, we find that the underlying frameworks of our minds are to collapse. The love that is brought to our minds by force and prostitution is typical of this kind. Rape to what we did not to do for getting it is not only an advantage, but also an illusion of love. The nature of the summertime movie does not help to the type and way we think. Only our intrinsic and unconscious thoughts respond us with a tight slap that will make us wonder where our limit is and there is not going to be anything belong us. Three sides and outlook from the perspective of three people who are directly involved in a problem that is answered with blood, but the attractiveness and art of work are the past and present. Sang Ho, a man who has been forcibly aggression to get tae in the past, has delusional in love, and holds on a rhai for him because he has no place to go. On the other hand, she sees in her daily life that hie sees and loves her, and also she is. The type of tae observation is unique by Hie Ran is unique and in type of erotic. They enter into a relationship that looks good from the point of conscience, but from a moral point of view it cost a lot. The film should be seen and thought down. Because apart from the tragic issue to which the viewer is affected, we must think of the fact that the nature of the problem is at the beginning has side of solvation or not. The movie poses a good challenge.
