Great Comedy But Short on Romance
I watched this out of boredom and didn’t expect it to be this funny and entertaining!It’s about a married couple whose once-beautiful love story turns into a nightmare. They constantly fight and hate each other so much that they decide to get a divorce. They’re given 30 days to finalize the decision, but an accident causes them both to lose their memories.
Through flashbacks, we see how they originally fell in love. However, because of misunderstandings and poor communication, they end up forgetting why they loved each other in the first place. The bad memories eventually outweigh the good ones.
Despite the premise, this movie is more of a comedy than a romance. It felt a bit lacking in the romance department. I wish we had seen more depth in what they loved about each other beyond “he’s cute” or “she’s pretty.” I kept waiting for a scene where they rediscover and actually verbalize the good things they love about one another, something that could mirror the court scene where they list everything they hate about each other, but it never comes.
The ending is fine, but I don’t like that it ends with Nara still not getting her memories back. It feels incomplete because we never get to see her decision once she remembers how much she hates him, or whether that hatred softens after forming new, happier memories.
The two leads, Kang Haneul and Jung Somin, have great chemistry and solid comedic timing. The rest of the cast also delivers strong performances.
Overall, I had a lot of fun with this, and it genuinely made me laugh. 8/10 ⭐️
