News A Bit Disappointing
This is a fairly ordinary Korean Romance. The only unique element was that the products the handsome ML chaebol’s company produce and market are sex toys. The “products” make a brief appearance and are quickly relegated to the sidelines. Lots of luck figuring out what any of the specific items are used for.
I appreciate that movie makers in Korea are trying to explore new themes–or even take a risk now and then. The characters are likable, but the tired old theme of the younger generation trying to break away and establish independence from their narrowminded elders has been done to death eleventy billion times. The acting was...well, let’s just say–pedestrian. Some very real issues regarding sex and love could have been explored in more depth, but the writers shied away from anything explicit or graphic.
Superficial but enjoyable.
