Sex is Zero (2002)

I thought this movie was hilarious honestly. Mostly because I appreciate a good dose of some gross humor, sex, and realistic events. Despite there being no real solid plot, I still enjoyed most of it. The topics that most college kids or young adults enjoy focusing on are generously scattered throughout this film. Much appreciated since rarely see this kind of bold approach in box office Kmovies.

I don't want to say the movie gave me a sense of nostalgia, but more like a feeling of familiarity. Especially because the boys reminded me of my buddies back in school.

Despite there being no hot eye (guy) candy in the film the actors were still pretty ok and more importantly believable. Ha Ji Won did a great job.

The music was pretty generic and simple but I didnt really mind.

Overall, I would recommend this to someone if they appreciate this kind of humor and racy scenes. It's a good time killer if you're bored and want to laugh.

A poignant drama disguised as a comedy.

I watch dramas for the romance. This movie had a romance that made me think. Blending an American Pie type show into a poignant drama with the dark side of abortion was something I never expected. The comedy, which was often weird, help emphasize the impact of what one young woman was going through. I think it was intended to show that while some are playing and having fun there are women out there who have just made a life decision and are in physical and emotional pain.

Contrary to other reviews, I thought the acting was great. It was supposed to be slapstick comedy and it was. I laughed and I got angry. Not many movies can bring out those two emotions. It was thought provoking.

Ha Ji Won did a fantastic job with her portrayal of Lee Eun Hyo. She was just starting her acting career and it must have taken guts to accept this role. She play it with style and grace. I got, what I felt, was the true meaning of this movie and I enjoyed every moment. She made it feel real.

And one final comment about romance. Don’t ever think the person who is whispering sweet things in your ear is better than the devoted one in front of you without giving it a lot of thought. The grass is rarely greener on the other side of the fence.
