Na-eui PS pa-teu-neo

I began to watch Korean dramas some months ago, and I got addicted. But the platonic romances are nice, but it was time to finally find some action :) I saw Seong Ji in some of them and in 'Kill me, heal me' one of his personalities is super sexy... and I thought then it could be great to see him freeing completely his sexiness. So, my wish was granted with this movie! And of course, we have here his great timing for comedy. And surprise: he sings! So, as you are getting from this review, I had much fun. I laughed a lot, and I smiled a lot. Ah-jung Kim is great and the supporting cast too. I don't understand the low ratings, for me it is a perfect Rom-Sexy-Com! Just relax... and enjoy!

Not accustomed to Ji sung in sexual film. Keep skipping the scenes until it finishs.

Unacceptable role to a beloved actor.

Note: Check me out as the "Asian Movie Enthusiast" on YouTube, where I review tons of Asian movies.

A woman accidentally calls a stranger, instead of her boyfriend, and has phone sex with the unknown man. I usually dislike sex comedies due to their juvenile, gross-out humor. Even the South Koreans - who have an excellent track record of contemporary romantic comedies - have occasionally faltered down this path with crap like "Sex Is Zero" (2002).

Most fortunately, "My PS Partner" (aka "Watcha Wearin'?") (2012) balances the raciness of sex with genuinely funny humor and endearing, well-developed characters and relationships. The performances are impressive and I laughed out-loud a number of times at the surprisingly charming jokes. The ending feels clichéd but the execution is a bit different than usual. The theme song is also very good and has a few different versions, one of which is quite funny.

While this is a South Korean movie, and I do tend to gobble up everything even remotely Asian, then I was a little bit hesitant about watching "Whatcha Wearin'?" (aka "Na-Eui PS Pa-Teu-Neo") because it was a romantic comedy, and they tend to be somewhat monotone once you've seen one.

However, I decided to go against my first thought, which was actually good, because "Whatcha Wearin'?" turned out to be rather enjoyable and funny. Even for a romantic comedy, then the movie managed to stand out and be unique.

It should be said that while the storyline in "Whatcha Wearin'?" was actually predictable and following the 'how-to-make-a-romantic-comedy-guidebook' to the letter, then it was still an enjoyable and entertaining story. And the story actually does have the ability to put a smile on your lips.

The acting performances by Seong Ji (playing Hyeon-seung) and Ah-jung Kim (playing Yoon-jeong) was actually spot on. They had really good chemistry together on the screen, and individually they also performed quite well. I wasn't particularly familiar with them prior to this movie, but they really carried themselves quite well in this movie.

Director and writer Sung-hyun Byun along with writer Min-su Kim actually managed to carve out a romantic comedy with an edge that makes it stand out in a tsunami of romantic comedies to make it out of the South Korean cinema. So thumbs up on that accomplishment.

If you are a fan of the South Korean cinema, then you definitely are more than familiar with the countless releases of the romantic comedies they spew forth, some more successful than others. Then I will recommend that you actually take the time and effort to sit down and watch "Whatcha Wearin'?" because it is wholesome entertainment from start to finish.

I bought this on DVD as a new release and only watched it the once. I'm going through a phase of purging some of the movies I bought years ago which no longer interest me, and I suspected this would be one of them, but I was wrong. I think I even enjoyed it more than the first time I watched it!

Female misdials and accidentally does a phone sex routine for a stranger. It was intended for her long term boyfriend who has been stringing her along for years.

The guy on the end of the phone, an aspiring musician, has recently been dumped and can't get over his ex.

The two form an over the phone friendship and more.

I mean yeah, cheating (on her side), it's ick, but it transpires her boyfriend is not a winner himself, so...I didn't mind it so much here.

Despite running for nearly two hours, this movie doesn't outstay its welcome because it is just so charming (even in spite of the sex talk). The two leads are perfect, the sister, the frenemy ex co worker. Alternates between funny and serious well. The song at the end (amended version) actually is beautiful, but funny in its original (tacky) form.

Korea really do seem to make good movies.
