Sweet and Sour (2023)

O amor não acaba no grito — ele se desfaz no silêncio.

O filme expõe a fragilidade das relações modernas diante da rotina exaustiva, da ambição e das tentações sutis. Mostra que o amor não se perde de uma vez, ele se desgasta no dia a dia, quando a atenção e o cuidado deixam de ser prioridade.

Triângulo amoroso realista, sem vilões caricatos.
Crítica à cultura workaholic e ao impacto na vida pessoal.
Final que desafia expectativas e provoca desconforto.
Mistura de humor ácido e drama emocional.

Jang Hyuk (Jang Ki Yong)
⚡ Jovem ambicioso e carismático, disposto a qualquer esforço para conquistar oportunidades profissionais, mas a pressa para “vencer” coloca em risco o que realmente importa.

Da Eun (Chae Soo Bin)
💉 Enfermeira dedicada e sensível, que luta para manter viva a relação apesar da distância e do desgaste. Representa o lado mais paciente e afetuoso do amor.

Bo Young (Krystal Jung)
💼 Colega de trabalho pragmática e sedutora, que surge como catalisadora de tentações e mudanças no coração de Hyuk.

unravel the plot

This takes some thinking and also you have to watch the screen after the credits to make it make sense. Bottomline: Nurse meets a chubby guy and they start to date, but it is a long distance relationship. Hence the reference for the sneakers as a gift and running - which in turn the boyfriend looses weight. So now the boyfriend is in shape and attracts a co-worker around the same time that the main couple start to have relationship issues. This seems to be around the time that the nurse also finds out she is pregnant and coincidentally meets another chubby guy with a name similar to her boyfriends. So the nurse is using the new guy to cope with her issues ( maybe help to move on)while her slim boyfriend is seeing his co-worker. To tell the truth, these events over lap and I can't pinpoint the exact time line for all of this. It just ends with them both going their separate ways. To late the slim boyfriend realizes that he lost a good relationship as the nurse is seeing a new chubby guy who happens to look just he did when they first met. I enjoyed the movie. the confusion only came when the scenes when back it time 7 months and again to 1 year 7 months. Had to pause the movie to see the names to realize how close they were and to better understand, but I don't think it was a s bad as some are saying. I enjoyed watching this.
