Original and interesting. Like L HH said, this film is one of a kind. However, there are so many stops, "Chilling Romance" never takes off and loses momentum.

This film makes a brave attempt to mash difficult genres. The end result is a dish that is hard to swallow, but somewhat edible. I was not satisfied with "Chilling Romance," because the story was not engaging and progressed roughly. I want to blame someone whether it's the director, editor, screenwriter, or all three.

The multi-talented actress Son Ye Jin saved this film from disaster. Always surprising her fans with new and unique roles.

All in all, if you want try something new, give "Chilling Romance" a try.

The romance is super cliché. The horror is also very cliché. The humour, well, maybe less cliché.

But to combine those, you make quite a great movie. At first, I really don't know how it would feel to see a "romantic comedy ghost" movie. I know you will agree with me. You can't scream your lungs out in a funny movie, nor can you enjoy the romance and humour in a ghost movie.

But I did. I laughed. Then I screamed. Then I smiled. Then I laughed and screamed again. This movie gave me mixed feeling. Very entertaining, I must say.

Seriously, if you don't believe me, check it out!

Sorry to be trite, but I maintain: if you, with a date, are emotionally blackmailed into watching a chickflick, this is the one. It's likely that you'll both enjoy it. It's chock-full of sentimental elements, colored by the less glamourous aspects of relationships/humankind; the characters are deep with believable pathos and flaws, while the storyline somehow remains buoyant and laugh-out-loud funny. It's never really crass (a prevalent comic element of Korean cinema), and stomps all over the standard senseless romcom tropes.

Essentially, if you took "the Ring" and turned it into a romcom, you'd wind up at this sort of confusing & beautiful genre.

As a movie, this is at best a 6.5 out of 10, which is a decent rating for a horror or comedy movie, but as a romance/drama, 6.5 is below average. This film must be lauded for its great effort to merge horror with comedy and romance without a feeling of being forced. I just wish they had used a better looking male lead, but I guess a magician mystique type look is what they were going for.

Son Ye Jin is outstanding in this movie. Just to watch her range of acting, going through every possible emotion humans ordinarily feel all within one movie is fantastic to witness - observe her during twice acting as being drunk, her multitude of expressions there are already more than many actors can ever manage, based purely on her performance, this movie deserves a 9 out of 10 rating...plus, she comes across as a sweet girl next door type that every man would want to protect is, well, so Son Ye Jin : )

If ever I want to enjoy great acting and facial expressions, I will pull this movie out to enjoy her masterclass...

The ending is slightly weak but still enjoyable, overall, a 7 - 7.5 rating is fair...

Somehow Ye-jin Son's movies had impressed me earlier and this one followed; maybe its her innocent acting or attraction or charisma which binds and hooks me to keep watching. However, saying so, that does not mean the storyline and acting are not good. I mean look at her movies like A moment to remember, the classic or April Snow, all were good.

Coming back to this movie, it was a different way to represent romance refraining it getting into cliche. What also i found amusing were horror aspects plugged in which were scary in places and made hillarious in the later point of movie, like the small kids story, or her friends death etc.

I had a notion of it being another Pee Mak but its not. Instead it's different and yet entertaining. One time watch definitely.
