Maybe it should be rated for age 30 and up. Like you, I probably would have found them irritating and unromantic. All the things that make me love the characters and identify with them now are things I would have judged them for ten years ago. Maybe try watching again later in life? I realized after watching it like 5 times that I would have hated it when I was in my twenties.

I would be very grateful for any suggestions on what we should watch the next time we decide to have a movie night. Junggugeo Kaenada: We were supremely disheartened by the state of Korean popular cinema by the end. Leaving us with two distinctly unappealing couples whose romantic potential we could care less about. At times, the arms race in Very Ordinary Couple and the misunderstanding between the couple in My PS Partner was presented as comedy, but it was all too nasty to be funny. With only two hours to tell the same story, it appears that the directors felt the need to ramp everything up, including how terrible the male and female lead could be. Within the span of 16 episodes, there is time to show where the lead couple are lacking without making them completely off putting, and pepper their clashes with hints of romantic potential. Junggugeo Kaenada: Both movies could easily have been the plot of a Kdrama, and that is where the problem lies. Partner was just as bad, with Ji Sung going from flipping tables and weeping over his ex to masturbating to a complete stranger over the phone and then falling for her in short order. The two leads of Very Ordinary Couple acted like psychos in the beginning, and it was so off-putting that we didnвЂ™t make it to their inevitable touching reconciliation. Junggugeo Kaenada: I think we can save time by encompassing the issues we had with both movies in one go, because they suffered from the same major problem. Not that I desperately wanted to see her have at it, but it seemed kind of lame that she was faking it. Though, to add a completely random nitpick, I was annoyed that he was depicted as actually masturbating, while she was depicting as acting for her boyfriend. Only: I guess it was fate at work to bring these two horny lovebirds together. It brings to mind those phone chat commercials where attractive, scantily clad women are just waiting on the phone. Junggugeo Kaenada: I couldnвЂ™t get past the premise that the random guy that Kim Ah JoongвЂ™s character accidentally has phone sex with looks like Ji Sung. Only: And yet, it wasnвЂ™t long before I lost track of the progression of the plot and their relationship. Again, it started with promise, because the acts of self-stimulation by the leads were surprisingly explicit. Junggugeo Kaenada: Next, we decided to give My PS Partner a try, because Ji Sung is cute, and the premise had smut potential. But, it didnвЂ™t take long for it to devolve into a completely disjointed battle between two crazy exes, with stalking, workplace conflict, and public displays of aggression.

Only: It did start out appealing, and both actors were surprisingly funny in the mock-documentary portion at the beginning. Initially, the couple had an undeniable spark. I also wanted to watch Kim Min Hee in action, who I have never seen in anything, but whose dating history I am very envious of. So, I am happy to see that his acting had progressed in the time between that drama and Very Ordinary Couple. Lee Min Ki had an off kilter charm in вЂњDal JaвЂ™s SpringвЂќ despite his wooden delivery. Junggugeo Kaenada: I was interested in Very Ordinary Couple, because of the leads. Only: Which is to say we made it halfway through both movies, and then gave up.

However, of the dozen movies we skimmed, we watched Very Ordinary Couple and My PS Partner the longest. Junggugeo Kaenada м¤‘кµм–ґ мєђл‚л‹¤: You call it movie night, but the sun was still out when we started trolling the internet for viewing options, and it was definitely the middle of the night by the time we gave up. Only л§Њ: We had the most unsuccessful movie night ever recently, when we tried to find a Korean romantic comedy to watch. So, why not stuff your face with a cake made of pancakes? HereвЂ™s a recipe from Jamie Oliver to get you started. Side Dish: There is not much romantic joy to be had in either of these movies.
