This movie was like its title, sweet and sour.
This movie was like its title, sweet and sour. When the truth was finally revealed, it tasted bitter.I wonder what will happen to the child. Will lee jang hyuk (the guy staying at the hospital) be able to accept that Da Eun is pregnant with her ex-boyfriend's baby, they even have similar names so I can imagine how he might react to that.
I feel disgusted after watching this...
Lots of loopholes in the plot and what the hell was the security guard doing, meddling in their affairs.. and why does the security guard look like a CEO?
I don't like the ending. It made it seem as though the other's love interest was a revival. I think the end of the movie should show that they are no longer compatible, and I found someone else better along the way. This will close something the parent didn't do.

Really good background noise
I never condone cheating in any capacity but this movie really highlights how serious emotional infidelity can be. Once you check out of a relationship emotionally then no amount of physical presence can really bring you back. This movie is very realistic about how relationships are very fragile and can be broken by just about anything. I will say, I think her abortion really affected Da eun more than we see. Jang Hyuk's reaction to her news was probably everything she needed to realize he had checked out. Just saying.I, unfortunately, saw the spoilers before I watched so it didn't surprise me but I enjoyed the movie still.

A confusing, blood boiling movie.
Before I start, warning there will be some spoilers here and there so if you are planning on watching this movie and want to be surprised don't read this.Let me start off with the good things I liked about this movie. I loved the realistic aspect of marriage that was in this movie. Watching it I was very impressed by how they made this movie a great portrayal of modern day couple. I also loved the acting because I never wanted to punch a character more than I wanted to punch Jang‑hyuk in this movie, god damn he made my blood boil.Which leads me to the bad things of this movie.
First of all, Jang‑hyuk you never thought to think once to tell people at your work or just Han Bo‑yeong that you are married. Y'all were flirting and dropping hints back and forth, but not only to put a red line but to just let her know that you are married even if she was fine with it, you still had to tell her. Second of all Jang‑hyuk is such a horrible husband, he never once asked her how she was doing or if everything was good with her.He came back from work and complained about how she asks him to take out the trash, Well no shit your married, both partners need to work together in order to have a healthy relationship.
The ending, I didn't think it was that bad honestly I was pretty satisfied with it. I loved how he realized that he made a big mistake leaving her, and went back for her, but karma was doing its job he had it coming. And I'm not taking her side, neither of them did the right thing but I think it happened for the best like if they continued their relationship I don't think they would be that happy or satisfied, They were cute when they dated but I think the ending was for the best for both of them. Hope this helped.

You either love it or hate it
If you plan to watch this movie with the mindset that it's gonna be the typical Korean romcomthis movie is probably not for you!
I went in with no expectations but I enjoyed every second of it.
This movie is one of the most realistic depictions of modern relationships I have ever watched.
Don't expect any grand gestures or a romance that will make your heart flutter.
But despite that and what some other reviews say, it was never boring.
The plot kept me intrigued, while it injected a lot of comedy that made me laugh uncontrollably.
The plot twist was AMAZING, but its not a very vital part of the story I would have enjoyed it, with or without it.
It just introduced an extra layer to the story which I found fun but not ground breaking.
Krystal was so natural in this I loved her character !!!
*spoilers from here*
This movie is more about the emotional needs and expectations within a relationship and what happens if they are not met.
Nobody was a bad person and they both tried to make it work. The ML was not insightful to realise the hurt he caused by the daily stressors that put a huge dent in their relationship. The mundane state of most relationships was not the fault of either of them cause if both people don't actively try to improve it, it could only lead to sourness. The romcom ending would have been for the ML to meet FL at the airport and for them to have happily ever after but it was already too late, the FL realised that the trust was already broken and she already found comfort in someone who meets her needs.
To people who said that this movie was about cheating ... I never though either of them cheated, they just naturally developed a connection with two different people, but if you watch back neither of them had a slight interest in taking things further and developing a romantic relationship with the 2nd leads. Only after they broke up they tried to move on.

you either like it or hate it.
I feel like this is one of those movies that you'll either really like or be left thinking "wtf did I just waste my time on?" I technically fall into the second category lol. I feel like the movie was trying to do one thing and then just had a personality switch towards the end (the last 10 mins that everybody is talking about) and from a storytelling perspective -- like I know what they were trying to do and I would have actually loved it if the transition was a little bit more seamless. But like I said you spent the entire movie in kind of this slow paced, somber mood and then bam! total reveal and I'm like WHY COULDN'T WE SEE THE QUIRKY HUMOR THE WHOLE MOVIE? I mean I guess they really wanted you to believe it was something it wasn't to increase the shock factor, it just fell flat on it's face for me. Which sucked because I was actually somewhat invested in the story line which I didn't expect to be.Was this review helpful to you?

Don't cheat just breakup
God the ending what a plot twistAs someone who is single and has trust issues this movie makes me want to stay single
The security guard confused me I thought he was the Boss or a stalker but I think it was Jang-Hyuk inner monologue testing his loyalty to Da-Eun it was just weird he kept popping out of nowhere
Boi Da-Eun deserves better and I'm happy she has someone who loves and respects her
Other than that it is a good movie give you an understanding about long distance and trust in relationships and that cheating is not the answer

A rom com but make it realistic
I’d say that this movie was cute at least for me with a quite satisfying ending and a realistic story and great acting.If you are looking for your perfect romance movie with the excepted typical happy ever after ending this movie won’t be your cup of tea, however I’d still recommend it to you.
The story as I said is not your perfect cliché which is good for me, for me I found the female lead sooo cute I think she is the main reason that I liked the movie, I think I also learned some things from this movie about choices in life, I’d say it’s a well written story since it’s enjoyable and has meaning in it and also it has a plot twist that makes the whole movie much better which is a creative move from the writer.
Acting was excellent and I’d like to praise Chae soo bin since she is some kind of underrated,this girl has potential she is literally of of the few actresses out there that acts so naturally as if she wasn’t acting even her crying is amazing I wish that she’d be more appreciated, of course Jang ki young was amazing too I always liked his acting and krystal also was great she portrayed her character perfectly, the whole cast in general was great.
Would I watch again?
Yes, I think since the story some kind of changed towards the end it’d be fun to rewatch it while you know the idea of it
Overall it was a great movie not that kind of very interesting movie which will keep at the edge of your seat every second but a cute movie that portrayed real life with an enjoyable story

my opinion
i think many people know the plot of this movie, so i just want to share my opinion:this movie really show the reality of couple nowadays especially the young one. because when someone will start have other commitment they can't balance between work and love. it just kinda confusing because both da eun and jang hyuk make mistake.
i think da eun start to cheat on jang hyuk after she abort the baby. i dont know if in korea, aborting is normal or not. i kinda pity at the other jang hyeok because he really love da eun but i dont think da eun really move on on jang hyuk( jang ki yong).

This show will SUPRISE you! (safe review)
It was most interesting that movie was overall suprising in the end, from beginning it’s almost like it gave you a chance to connect things to certain parts. If your going to watch this expect the unexpected! i was shocked when i found out in the ending what was really REALLY happening. The only thing to pay attention to if your gonna watch this is to look closely about the characters and actors in this Drama not only that I really love the scenery and time it took to make this film very outstanding Cast and acting and Very great story, please consider enjoying this.Was this review helpful to you?
Everything start sweet but LDR usually turns a relationship sour, especially if the two person got a job, hard to communicate, rarely seeing each other, so it's not strange if there's a change in feelings.
This film is pretty good on describing this kind of relationship, we get to see Jang Hyeok and Daeun from a sweet couple to the verge of collapse because of LDR.
It's really hard to see our couple shattered here, but what happened in the end, that happens for good.
The message this film trying to deliver from my understanding is love between 2 people requires trust, mutual understanding and appreciation, especially if you in LDR.
There a twist in the end, I didn't see it coming but I gotta say it make sense, Daeun was hurt and she deserve a good ending, she gets a man who can appreciate her more. It's not spoiler I guess. Just watch it, you'll get it.

had a plot twist but also... meh
From the trailer alone i could understood the whole plot twist. i hate trailers so much... but with that being said... i dont feel good about the ending. it lacked meaning.i think the FL (nurse) is not really happy with her new boyfriend, and the ML is not at all that sorry he lost her either. Both of them just needed someone. Anyone. Anyone that had time for them.
Didn't matter who. The nurse repeated everything she did with the ML with her new bf just to end up miserable. Same habits, same gifts, same way of falling in love at the hospital... that's a massive red flag if you ask me. And seriously sad. Assuming they were on a break for awhile, then both of them slept around during that time, but the movie kinda makes it seem as if the male lead has more to blame than the female lead, when they equaly had other partners in between.
the plot would make a lot more sense if at least one of them had a true happy ending with a "i am over you" moment. the way the FL was not that happy in the moment of the plane departure, and how desperate the ML was to just be with any of the girls tells me not a single person had a good ending.
and that's life!! but also... what's the message of the movie then? that life is hard when work gets in the way? well yeah. we all know that. what's the real message here? Am i supposed to side or relate to whom?
