Hot NCs but a Messy Plot
I came to this movie after watching An Jeong Gyun in Love Class 2, and he was absolutely hot here. His chemistry in the NC scenes was off the charts, and the two sisters also delivered some of the best intimate scenes I have seen in a Korean movie. Those moments alone are unforgettable and definitely the highlight of the film.That being said, the overall plot is quite weak. The timeline feels messy and confusing at times, and the story struggles to keep its focus. The summary from MDL sounds more exciting than what actually plays out on screen.
Hint. Skip straight to the NC scenes, you do not really need the plot to enjoy this one.
Still, the intensity of the NC scenes, combined with the strong screen presence of An Jeong Gyun, makes it worth checking out if you are curious. For that reason, I give it 8 out of 10.

girl what is this
Girl… where do I even start? “I Would Rather Kill You” really had the aesthetic, the moody lighting, the steamy stares — but that’s literally it. It tried so hard to be dark and sexy but ended up feeling like a Wattpad fanfic with a K-drama filter and zero plot. Like... who greenlit this?The actors actually ate with what they were given — I’ll give them that. They served intensity, mystery, tension — but for what? There was no story to carry it. Just scenes of almost-hookups, dramatic breathing, and the occasional "deep" line that felt like it was pulled from a Tumblr post circa 2012.
It kept teasing like something big was gonna happen, and I was patient, okay? I really gave it a chance. But by the end I was like, “That’s it?” No climax (pun very much intended), no twist, no real conflict — just vibes and thirst. It’s basically soft porn that’s too shy to commit. No plot, just pouty lips and prolonged eye contact.
It wanted to be edgy and psychological, but it’s giving aesthetic over substance. It had all the ingredients for something spicy and intense, but forgot the actual recipe.
Watch it if you’re bored and just want background noise with pretty people fake-panting in slow motion. Otherwise? Girl, don’t waste your time.

Is this a mainstream erotic movie or a softcore porn flick (or both)?
This movie tries to be an erotic comedy, but in my judgement, it falls well short. For starters, its just not particularly funny, and it gets pretty bit dark at times, especially with the hostage taking, violence and rape scenes.But what this movie mostly lacks is an engaging plot, as the "plot" that does exist seems to be little more than an attempted justification for the next sex scene. What it doesn't lack is tits and arse, with about 20 minutes of its runtime consisting of extremely explicit sex scenes. At times, it really does feel like you're watching a softcore porn flick rather than a mainstream movie.
Kim Ju Eun and Kim Do Yeon are the two female leads who spend about as much time in their underwear or completely naked as they spend fully clothed. They are both quite young and are both rookie actors who likely took this role to try to get noticed and hopefully drag their careers out of obscurity. They definitely committed to the well coreographed sex scenes, but the rest of their acting was quite bland in my opinion. I'll be interested to see where their careers go from here, because I think there is a risk they may have typecast themselves by choosing such an explicit role so early in their careers.
Watch it if you want to see lots of very hot sex scenes. Don't watch it if you need your movie to have an engaging plot.
PLOT SUMMARY WITH SPOILERS BELOW. DO NOT READ ON IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS!
Plot Summary:
Two young sisters move into rural village.
Both sisters like to masturbate ... a lot. One enjoys pleasuring herself with cucumbers that are still in the vegetable garden ... because fresh is best I suppose, while the other enjoys digitally exploring in innermost self while listening to animals mating on nature documentaries, and ... this is important ... with the curtains of her room fully open. (No, I'm not making this up).
Two pervy village men (both old enough to be the sister's father) take advantage of the sister's easily observed performances and voyeuristically observe them. The men occassionally need to change their own underpants after getting a bit too excited.
A wanted fugitive breaks into the house where the two sisters live and ties them both up. They are both only wearing their underwear for some reason. He informs them that he's filmed them masturbating and uses that to blackmail them into allowing him to hide out in their house. While there, he forcibly rapes them both (not at the same time). Initially both of the women unsuccessfully try to fight him off, but after a couple of rapes, they each decide that they quite enjoy being raped. (I promise I'm not making this up). Perhaps the writer was going for a Stockholm Syndrome vibe, but I can easily see how he might be criticised for trivialising or even romanticising sexual assault.
After the sisters's change of heart, they decide to have lots and lots ... and LOTS ... of sex with the guy (not at the same time - sorry, no threesomes in this movie). They have so much sex with him they completely tire him out, which causes him to become meek and intimidated by the women ... which is something that happens apparently. (Honestly, I'm not making any of this up).
The two old pervs who are disappointed that the sisters have been closing their curtains lately decide to "check" on them. They discover the fugative hog-tied inside the house. The sisters, who apparently were aware that the two old pervs had been watching them masturbate all along, hog-tie both of them as well, because that's something petite women can do to grown men. They then present all three hog-tied men to the police. The end.
