All About My Wife (2012)

It's a nice movie and I learned something from this. It's a hilarious movie too how the husband let the wife be seduced. I laughed so much everytime the hired seducer fail. What a cute couple!

Yes it is hilarious but at the end it is moving, how the two realize each others feelings, how the husband realize why his wife is like that and all. You will learn something about this movie. It is absurd that the husband did it, but you may understand why he is desperate to divorce her, well still he is a nice man.

If you like to have a light mood and want to laughed your ass, then watch this movie and get touch at the end!

I was looking forward to watching this movie. I had heard it was one of the bigger hits in Korea so I had high expectations. In the end, it was a silly little look at marriage and the various stages of relationships.

The film relies a great deal on gimmicky and a slightly crude type of humor instead of what I considered funny and clever dialogue between the characters. There were several amusing moments between Jung In and Doo Hyun that were easy to relate to. These scenes, though a bit over the top, were also realistic and I understood some of the difficulties they were facing. I felt for Jung In as a frustrated housewife and for Doo Hyun as a disappointed husband.

The story is predictable. There are quirky scenes and entertaining antics but one the biggest details I noticed was the growth of Jung In as an independent woman. The other characters seemed to revolve around her and served more as a backdrop to her story than having their own identities. The out of touch and obviously clueless husband Doo Hyun had his own journey and realizations but it didn't grab me as much as Jung In's.

I found part of the movie very telling of cultural perceptions of a woman’s role in society. Whether women are housewives, mothers or work outside the home is often strongly judged by other people. Opinionated and straightforward women can come across as threatening to those around them. Jung In is one of these women. While this plot was used for some laughs, it also felt too serious and out of place in what I thought was supposed to be a wacky comedy.

It was interesting to watch Ryu Seung Ryong as Sung Ki, the Casanova. On one hand, he was portrayed as a depressed and tortured soul but on the other hand he seemed overly cartoonish and ridiculous. It was difficult to take anything his character did seriously, even when I think I was supposed to. Ryu Seung Ryong did have a deadpan look I found humorous. One of his funnier moments was after a scene that mimicked a famous sequence from one of Patrick Swayze's most beloved films here in America. I enjoyed seeing that particular Hollywood reference.

Even though this was supposed to be a comedy, the comedic scenes felt disjointed and did not flow well. I felt as if I wasn't getting all the play on words or meanings intended. This may have been due to translation or maybe I just have an off sense of humor and couldn't relate. The bottom line, not all jokes are universally funny. I found the beginning amusing, the middle a bit jumbled and the end a little somber and slow. Overall, whether it was funny or not, I enjoyed watching two people revisit their relationship and what made them fall in love in the first place.

Regardless of what people say about Ryu Seung Ryong’s acting and the predictable storylines, I still love this movie! I was sure of my decision to watch this movie. When I read the plot, I was immediately interested, let alone the casts: Lee Sun Gyun, Im Soo Jung, Ryu Seung Ryong and LEE KWANG SOO. Yes, the “comedian” Lee Kwang Soo. It’s never not funny when Kwang Soo’s around!

Here’s a little summary:
So the story starts off with Jung-In (Im Soo Jung) who’s studying in Japan whom met Doo Hyun (Lee Sun Gyun) coincidentally because of a sudden earthquake. They both fell in love and decided to get married some time later. After 7 years of marriage, Doo Hyun gets tired of all the nagging and all of his wife’s bad habits (smoking, getting angry at everything, basically just embarassing him around). Whenever he tries to just run away from all the problems at home, his wife just follows him around everywhere.

Then.... he met casanova Sung Ki (Ryu Seung Ryong) that lives around his neighborhood. Doo Hyun begged him to seduce Jung-In just for the sake of a divorce agreement form his wife (because he thinks his wife would cheat on him after all). Sung Ki agrees and he starts digging for information about Jung In so he would click with her more. Long story short, Jung In became closer and closer with Sung Ki, she also gets a job, she became quieter, she just became perfect once again. She became the woman Doo Hyun once fell in love with. That’s when Doo Hyun started regretting his decision on making a stranger seduce his own wife.

This movie just hits right in the feels. I just liked the idea of everything. Although the storyline seemed very predictable and the acting may seem quite cringy, it doesn’t really bother me at all! I found myself laughing and getting teary eyed throughout the movie, though. This is the Korean romantic-comedy I’ve searched for ever! I’ve never watched any Korean movies with these right amount of romantic scenes (not cheesy ones) and the perfect amount of comedy to top it up (Ryu Seung Ryong and Lee Kwang Soo is just drop dead funny, GOSH).

Overall, a 9.5/10. I would love to rewatch this movie over and over again just for a good laugh and a heartfelt story. ⭐️

Now , THIS IS a real romance-comedy which I've been waiting for so long !
(All about my wife) is NOT a usual romance-comedy full of sexual scenes which makes you laugh for 2 hours and then after a week you won't remember anything of it ! This movie has something to say !
Something precious ... something necessary for both our love and social life !
In this movie we see a woman who seems to be rejected by the society she's living in as well as her own husband ! At first you must feel the same too ! Like: Hey what's wrong with her?! Can she stop nagging ?! she's driving me crazy ! ...
But the more you know about her , the more you think that : What if she is right ?! What if the things she's nagging about NEED TO CHANGE ! Just because the people got used to these negative points and no one bothers to protest about them it doesn't mean they must not be solved !
As you see this movie is more than it seems ! more than seduction , passion or even love life !
What makes this movie extremely special is mostly the unique and different characters that CAN NOT BE FOUND in any other movie ! Specially the first female role !
The three main roles actings were awesome ! they made their characters completely believable and you could even show sympathy for three of them ! So let me say a big : WELL DONE ! both to the director and the screenwriter for creating the best comedy-romance of my life !
The french music used in this movie had a great harmony with the story and I loved it !
At last this movie was a masterpiece in It's genre and I'm sure I'll rewatch it again and again !
Oh ... And I think the main lesson of this movie was : ... You only know your lover , when you let her go ! ;)
Bye ^^

it was nice for first time but there is problem

Problem was that husband was blamed for everything but affair was solely on wife
Yes he wanted her to go away and hire a man to seduce her...

BUT having affair was her choice, Cheating on her husband for lust was her sole choice her husband doesn't push her into make a decision.
So why he was only person blamed
Even if it was all planed she chose to cheat and betray there marriage by falling for Playboy paid by her husband.
They adress fault of husband and blamed him only
I get it he did wrong and he regret and Apologize for his actions
She shameless dream about sleeping with otherman and is telling her husband about it, but she isn't blamed at all
Its just glorious cheating woman but when it reversed gender then cheating husband would be blamed even if wife hired a woman.
But wife did she regret cheating and

I did not exactly like it "per se" but I found it interesting

This movie is foremost a dark comedy about marriage as the main male lead Doo Hyun cannot stand living with his wife anymore but do not know how to face the situation other than being conflict avoidant. I found this premise very interesting but at the same time some of the over-the-top comedic moments mixed with some really dramatic moments did not work well with me. I did not enjoy the way the humor was set, it was a bit too absurd while trying to make it as what felt like a life lesson on marriage and relationship overall.

Except the "Casanova" character that I found properly repugnant all along, the main characters (Doo Hyun, the husband and Jung In, the wife) who were really not likeable at first to me, grow on me as their story unfolded.
Despite me liking the cast (- with Lee Sun Kyun, Ryu Seung Ryong and Lee Kwang Soo being actors that I enjoy), I found the acting was bad in the most absurd and comedic scenes (especially on the side of Ryu Seung Ryong but maybe it is because I disliked strongly his "Casanova" character). Lim Soo Jung was probably the best in terms of acting and with the evolution of her character.

I found the production value pretty good, there are a couple of scenes with mouth-watering food which is always a nice bonus in my book. However, I'm not a huge fan of the soundtrack tough it clearly fulfilled its purpose at creating a certain ambiance fitting the plot of the story.

I would recommend this to people looking for a dark comedy. It is for sure not a fluffy romance and there are a lot of absurd moments that are a bit strange because of the shift in tones given the intention of the story. Despite its flaws, it has an interesting premise, so I think it is worth a watch.

This movie was ok for me
The story had a great message behind
But the writer didn't handle the story well in some aspects
Like,
There were no need at all for the sexual scenes and the nudity in it
And I dislike the last scene the most
As if the writer added them on purpose just to raise watching
Although they didn't serve the story at all


I liked how they figured out how loneliness can break you down and change you 180°
And how when your partner keep himself away from you and refused to hear you how that can break secure between them and change their attitude towards eachother


But inspite of that I felt the story was slow pace , trivial and a little shallow
It wasn't solid enough and boring too

For me it's rare to like a Korean movie
Because their movies is much worse than the epilogues of their KD's

This movie just to watch once
But as I said it had a very important message
For couples
