Sweet & Sour

I didn't have high expectation from movie because it is general romance movie. Last 15 mins is game changer. I like the twist at the end. If you have free time then watch it.

The title of the movie tells it all I guess, I should have known, but I was hoping that Jang Ki-yong would have played a more sweeter character than a scoundrel boyfriend. I searched for him specifically; I like his acting and hope to see him cast in something else soon. When the movie first came on, I was suspicious and expecting something like this, but the twist was actually different than I thought in the end.

I have mixed feelings about this movie. I felt that the slim Hyeok took his girlfriend for granted and abandoned her when she was pregnant, so that he could work late with his female colleague. Her pleadings meant nothing to him, and she apparently took affection wherever she could find it -specifically in her obese patient turned friend. I feel that her boyfriend got what he deserved in the end. Watch this one when you have nothing else to do.

I love this movie as this is realistic than most of the common movies we had. It shows how work, stress, pressure, misunderstnding and long distance affects our relationship in real life. It will made you realize a lot of things like cheating is not a mistake but a choice that can affect your life and future. Most common movies are fantasy and not the reality of our life but some say the ending of this was actually not good but personally, I like the ending of this as it gave us a more "REALISTIC" ending than the usuall "HAPPY ENDING". This is the reality of our life now a days so don't expect a happy ending in every movie you watched. We have to appreciate this kind of movie who will give us LIFE LESSONS instead of UNREALISTIC ending. 😊

The themes presented in the movie are the reality that face most of Asian country workplaces, especially Japan and South Korea. Endless working hours, being bossed around without guaranteed of being a perm, and work affecting relationships, etc. Certain companies are moving forward on focusing on the well being of their employees. But this movie still show what is currently still the society. The note for me is reflecting what this movie is showing. It does it's job if you just want to see the truth.

In the third act, the viewer will just feel like the movie is weird or unfinished. We can think there are still questions left. But deep down, they all have been answered.

Just feeling disappointed because i'm not watching a movie to see it telling me what people are facing in the real world. I don't care about that. There are documentaries for that. Ain't people watching movies because they want to evade the real world? Would have liked a better ending.
