    womanizer vs she-devil....

    Watched #TheArtOfSeduction....

    A humorous comedy with a simple plot and practical jokes.... It's about experienced players who takes their game to each other. The game slowly turns into a competition and later on to love. The movie shows the commonly used techniques of getting someone of opposite sex in a comic manner. They keep it simple without spoiling the fun at any moment.... The movie is really good entertainment....

    The good thing about this one is that. They kept the perverted jokes and nudity out of it making it a family entertainment. There are not much family movies in this category....

    To sum up.... It's #worthWatching....

    What happens when a womanizer meets his nemesis?

    Like his father, Seo Min-jun (Il-guk Song) is a rich playboy, he knows the way to a woman's bed, a lot tricks to reach it and then move on. Han Ji-wan (Ye-jin Son) knows the art of seduction too, and meticulously uses it to find the perfect husband. One day they become their respective targets, and a war begins.

    This romantic comedy is like a pre-engagement "Mr. and Mrs Smith" without weapons and spy plots, or a light version of the war of the Roses if you prefer. The two main characters, while apparently playing the roles of a dating couple, engage an escalation of lies, denigration and accidents. Each of them tries to take control on the relationship, and mostly ends failing, thus generating an humorous interaction, with the help of the said father, a stubborn ex and the omnipresent single female friend. The premise was appealing, and most of the film was too. Towards the end it takes the inevitable romantic route losing some of said appealing, but the ending wasn't so typical as i thought.

    As most of Korean comedies the photography is warm and neat, the actors are valid, there is a "hidden dragon, crouching tigeresque" scene and words appear on screen every now and then. Not too bad.

    A Collision Course Between Two First-Rate Players

    "Seo Min-Jun" (Il-Guk Song) is a playboy who loves the "thrill of the chase" but quickly gets bored with his conquests and is always looking for his next challenge. "Han Ji-Wan" (Ye-Jin Son) is a beautiful young woman who also plays around but her interests are somewhat more mercenary. In any case, Min-Jun decides to target Ji-Wan at about the same time she decides to turn the tables on him. This results in a collision course between two first-rate players with the ultimate outcome clearly in doubt. But one thing is sure-neither of them like to lose. Now as far as this movie is concerned I thought the first half of the movie was quite humorous and showed good potential. Unfortunately, the latter part of the second half was a bit of a let-down which I believe took some fun out of it all. I especially didn't care for the rather dull ending. Even so the movie was still good for a few laughs and Ye-Jin Son certainly didn't hurt the scenery in any way. Accordingly, I rate the film as slightly above average.

    Laid back comedy-romance with good eye candy

    Fast forwarding the movie for a few minutes made me pause and look at Ye-jin Son for several seconds. I'd no idea about the movie but had taken a liking towards Korean cinema after My Sassy Girl. That was one of the best movies i'd ever seen.

    So I decided to give this one a go. The movie left me pleasantly surprised. I mean sure, it had lots of flaws and some scenes ended abruptly. But the over all flow of the movie made up for it. As I mentioned earlier Ye-jin Son is the main highlight of the movie. I can't even pronounce her name and yet am a fan already.

    To a certain extent the girls character is similar to My Sassy Girl. But the difference is that the guy is smarter here.

    The movie doesn't bore you and there are plenty of good scenes to keep you smiling. The acting and cinematography is good. The side characters are also funny.

    Overall a must watch esp. for non-koreans.

    Oh so cute, not to mention Son Ye Jin's amazing performance!

    Actually, unlike other people, I knew that this movie was going to be good. For one, I have yet to see Son Ye Jin play any "rambunctous" character. She's always been the quiet, pretty, and others like to say "damsel-in-distress". And watching this, it really confirmed that Son can play any role, whatever the character. She truly is amazing in this movie.

    Il Gook is also very good playing a player father's son. It good to see him in a romantic comedy too. These two put together makes a great film. There are soo many funny scenes and overall is worth watching twice.
