Sweet & Sour

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.

Well the movie shows the practical aspects of modern day relationships, totally agree with that, complete reality. But does it give any hope ?

I gave it a rating of 4 because there was nothing sweet about it, it was all sour, left a bad taste for me.

(SEMI-SPOILERS AHEAD)

I have many problems with this film. But I will start with the positives. The acting is pretty decent and the writing is not bad but could be improved. I like the humble start to this film. But there are many, many problems. The TWIST to this film is very forced and surprisingly bad! I felt like the writers and director were going to make a simple, cliche type of romance comedy film. But when they didn't know how to end the film..

They just rewrote the whole film so that the twist could work. I liked how the start of the film was going. It was not amazing the was done well. But the third act really made this whole film tumble down. The twist is very confusing and because of how the film is set up to be.

Also some characters are left out that were great in my opinion. Like the parents, they were great side characters! This film leaves you feeling very empty and doesn't really establish a good moral. Overall I do not recommend this film unless you are REALLY bored and have nothing to do. This film represents a good start, but a bad ending.

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. 😊

Love the cast. The writing could have been better, but I thought the "twist" is actually quite clever and appropriate to the plot and its theme.
