Homme Fatale (2019)

I become a fan of Nam De Joong, screenwriter and director, because it’s the second project of him after “The Last Ride” and I love them both.

It’s a bitter-sweet saguek comedy with a big show of Junho, because his performance is brilliant. The rest of the cast did a good job too, especially Kim Dong Young, who deserves a lead role in the next film of director Nam De Joong.
The script is just impressively elaborated and the dialogues are intelligent. The story picks up social problems located in the past, but universal about life of women and scars in the human hearts.

It isn't a classic romcom, not at all. It isn't a trivial and banal light entertainment. It’s a touching love story with a very special taste of humor and Junho was able to create this unique spirit.

I highly recommend, the scenario and acting are top notch. But you must be ready to cry.
