Perfect Couple (Korean Movie 2007)

Soo-Jin (played by Hyunyoung) is a young news reporter who accidentally hit a cop named Jae-Hyuk (Lee Dong Wook) with a skewered fish sausage (odang). Jae-Hyuk, who in that time was chasing a drug dealer on foot when he accidentally collides into Soojin. To make it worst, he (Jae-Hyuk) suffers from an acute fear of sharp pointed objects.

This movie is a bit flat. I don't think it reaches a very good climax, somehow. The flow is good at first, but again, it is not climactic. The storyline of the movie is simple and it has a very down-to-earth vibe to it. No over the top crime case, news stuff, and such. The roles of the main leads are very human, and believable.

The title did not really go with the movie. There was no romance sense in the movie between the two, well not until the last part. It was a okay movie, the beginning was kind of boring but the ending was getting cooler. The only one who made me crack up was Hyun Young in the movie. She was mad crazy.

Overall, I actually love this movie. It doesn't try too put in too much stuff or trying to be more sophisticated. Its main objective seems to be to please and entertain the audience.

Going Crazy Waiting (2007 Korean Movie)

Story of 4 different Korean couples heartbroken from their separation caused by compulsory military service. The boyfriends goes off to army for 24 months, and the girlfriends waiting and doing their own thing. A romantic comedy that is very heartwarming and sad as well. A nice story of love, betrayal and letting go. It's enjoyable, I like how some couple came back together and some broke up, and was based on true stories. Not what we expect, the Happy-ever-after ending. I love the ATM message, it was so sweet, such a cute and creative idea.. :) The ending was a bit rushed but all-in-all, it was a good movie.
