    ONE OF THE BEST MOVIE

    Korean movies are always comes with new concepts and they merge the reality and fantacy to elevate emotional stories in a very entertaining way and this was fantastically done in this movie and if you can relate to this story then you will defintely cry a littlebit and also have fun .

    The plot was simple and exceuted humurously with perfect narration and emotions. The performances were good and the comedy works and screenplay was good too.

    For starters this was definitely recommended movie.

    Only negatives of this movie are the predictable story cause you have already see this kind of stories and you also predict the story end, but still you will enjoy so just try it and have fun.

    Original Title: Miss Wife. A good heartwarming movie.

    You've seen movie like this a lot, its still formulaic, cliché and everything. But, if it still make you wanna watch it till the end, it still got you. Wonderful Nightmare just like any movie from the same genre that tell you about some bad people who got into some other medium that will change their life forever. We know what will happen in the end, whether the main character will change or not, but we still enjoy watching their transition. I love this movie, well-crafted film making, with some experienced korean actors, nice script and everything. I totally recommend this movie for all korean cinema lover. Even for anyone who want to try some korean cinema, this one can be quite a good start. Enjoy!

    Korean cinema at its best

    Honestly I didn't expect much from this movie. Sometimes it works the best if you have a very low expectations and this came out to be a light romantic comedy at the height of Korean film industry. The first good thing about it was Jeong-hwa Eom playing the main character. Once Seung-heon Song joined her it got even better. Of course the story ends in a stereotypical way but it is a very pleasant watch all through the movie.
