Ah, you like it! 😁 I've been keeping low with my opinion on this one but seeing you here makes me reevaluate…
It has significant problems, plot and writing-wise, and there are way too many lazy tropes/cliches, but the good stuff is making it worth the watch, particularly past episode 3. Before that point, I had serious doubts and was finding it a slog to watch.
Everyone here is forgetting the dude had severe psychological symptoms as a result of PTSD when the movie began…
hmmm...now you're trying too hard. Are you asserting that was a natural skin tone? lol
Most Asians ARE pale-skinned, except for those who work in the sun, which is why the upper classes, especially women, in China, Korea, and Japan, have for centuries avoided the sun, so as not to appear to be impoverished peasants who have to drive oxen for a living beneath its blazing rays. This is the reason you see zillions of umbrellas on the streets of Beijing, Seoul, and Tokyo on the sunniest days. Those folks aren't worried about rain later in the day, they don't want a f**king tan.
Or...maybe the colonel obtained his all-over tan while fighting the Viet Cong in the jungles of Vietnam...naked, eh?
Please share time stamps to the scenes in which the colonel worked the rice fields, drove oxen, or fought battles while naked. Thanks, I'll wait.

I love brown skin...sweetie.
No one maintains a body like that without almost daily workouts, regular visits to the tanning booth, and a high-protein, low-fat diet; least of all while drinking copious amounts of alcohol and smoking like a chimney. Now perhaps I missed it, so can you give me some time stamps to the scenes where the ripped/tan colonel lifted weights and fried himself without panties in the tanning booth? Thanks.
Even if he did those things, he would have had a bottle of whiskey next to the weight machine and a cig in his mouth the entire time. I don't remember those scenes.
Also, can you do me a favor, "sweetie," and quote me where I said sex addiction (lust) is not a thing? Thanks, I'll wait. That said, sex addiction generally presents as banging multiple, anonymous partners regardless of who they are; not imagining you're "in love" with one person and banging only them...sweetie. You're coming across like you don't know what you're talking about and putting words in my mouth so you can respond to things I never said.
Actually, we are nearly in 2025 and hyper-sensitive, self-righteous, judgemental MDLers now consider "typical" and "clueless" to be "crude and petty language." lol
sigh...you completely ignore what we were shown near the beginning of this flick...the colonel is having serious…
lol Since the "MDLer" shoe fits, you have to wear it. "Well, I didn't understand the plot and had no idea what was going on, but I formed a personal opinion anyway, therefore you must respect it." Got it. No clue what "this is my account" is supposed to mean, but this is not your comment thread so if you don't want to run the risk of having your personal opinions challenged, stop posting them.
This isn't the greatest flick I've seen, but it's pretty good. Well worth the watch.
Reading through comments, it's clear that the biggest part of the main premise went over most MDL viewers' heads. Everyone here is forgetting the dude had severe psychological symptoms as a result of PTSD when the movie began. He was on medication for same, and was drinking heavily despite being told specifically not to do so. He was not in his right mind from the beginning, which is why he became irrationally OBSESSED. If you missed that, you missed the movie, people.
colonel kim is so pathetic i was laughing at him by the end of this film. the absolute audacity of this piece…
Did you by any chance notice he was suffering mental illness/PTSD from the very beginning of the show, was on meds, and abusing booze despite being warned in the strongest terms not to do so? The guy was off his rocker and totally irrational as a result.
I agree with some of the other comments. This was just ok. Not terrible but certainly not good. The main couple's…
It was not a relationship; it was an OBSESSION. That's the point. He was suffering from major PTSD, on meds, and abusing alcohol. This was made clear multiple times throughout.
That ending wasn't necessary!They almost overcame their traumatic experience by healing each other through passionate…
You are deluded. I am sympathetic in the extreme to the colonel as he was not in control of his senses from the beginning, due to PTSD, meds, and alcohol, but that was NOT love, that was...wait for it...an obsession. Did you miss the title of the movie? OBSESSED, not "In Love." The woman was mousy and they knew nothing of each other outside of bed and dancing.
I don’t know why people are complaining when this is just a soft corn lmao. The plot is not meant to written…
BS. The main focus is on the "scenes" for YOU, not grownups. In this over 2-hour movie, there are about 15 minutes of sex. If the "soft core porn" movies you've seen are like this, you haven't seen any.
Yes, some pussies can send you crazy. It's a fact that lust is more destructive than love. But many can't tell…

SSH's body is beautiful indeed, but two highly unrealistic details threw me off: How does one stay THAT gym-built without ever going to the gym? How does he maintain a full-body tan without hitting the tanning salon or beach? And then there's the smoking and the booze...it would have been much more effective if we'd been shown a body that was until recently in that kind of shape but is beginning to deteriorate from alcohol/nicotine abuse and lack of exercise due to depression/anxiety/etc.
Where do I even start?Recently I decided to check out the old classics cos there is no ways am going to seat through…
sigh...you completely ignore what we were shown near the beginning of this flick...the colonel is having serious psychological problems already then as a result of PTSD, which back in 1969 was not even a recognized diagnosis. Were you asleep during the doctor's office scene? He and the doc discussed his panic attacks, nightmares, anxiety, etc. He was already then on medication for his symptoms. He was specifically NOT to drink alcohol with his meds. He did so anyway because his anxiety overwhelmed the meds; a dangerous combination.
THEN he met this woman (I agree she was not all that but to me that's the fault of the writing and direction) and irrationally to his besieged mind, falling head over heels into an imaginary, insanely intense "love" was the perfect escape. So there he went.
This dude was not in control of himself, and that led to all that followed. You missed 2/3 of what was going on. The plot was lost on you. Perhaps you were too focused on the "pubes."
While watching, all I could think was, "I feel so bad for his wife." I know people can't control their hearts,…
"I think I realized that I hate people who cheat."
Another typical, clueless MDLer comment. You have no idea how many of the people you know, assuming you know some, have had extramarital relationships It has happened since the beginning of time and is happening as we speak and will happen again a zillion times in the future. You "hate" all those people?
Your pretense that everyone who fails to be perfect and succumbs to their baser human nature, is worthy of "hatred" is beyond immature and self-righteous.

Get a mind and the rest will follow.
