Surprising in much more sexual content than in most
This is a 2012 South Korean Romantic Comedy movie with a run time of 1:57 (HH:MM)Yoo-Jung (Kim Ah-Joong) is not your typical South Korean female, she owns a lingerie company and is a bit more of a free spirit with her sexuality. Desperate to bring the spark back to her long term dating relationship, she calls her boyfriend to have phone sex. What she does not know is she dialed a stranger one who is heartbroken from seeing his ex, who he had a long term relationship with, get in the car with another man. Hyun-seung
(Ji Sung) answers the phone on a night he attempted to drink away his sorrows. When the sexy voice on the phone starts murmuring words that are the fabric of every man’s sexy dream, he just goes with it figuring he is getting a free sample or something. At the end of the call Yoo-Jung discovers it was not her boyfriend and is horrified over her sexy conversation with a stranger. Hyun-seung calls after a upsetting incident planning to get relationship advice and instead gets an earful from a mortified woman. Once they talk it out and realize the sexy call was a case of mistaken identity they begin to talk for real. Each find the other easy to talk to and a series of phone calls lead them to meeting in person. After an intimate night together their feelings grow deeper but Yoo-Jung‘s boyfriend finally proposes and Hyun-Seun
g s girlfriend returns. Did fate play matchmaker or was this brief interlude the thing to put their love lives back on track with their former partners?
Spoiler ? This was way more risque and ribald than I am used to with South Korean movies and television series. There were a lot of sexy scenes that are unusual based on hundreds of shows I have watched. It was refreshing as their relationship just seemed a lot closer and it was easy to see how they would’ve developed feelings so quickly for each other. I really liked both of the main actors and the chemistry between the two was really good.
The storyline was interesting how just a chance meeting may lead to the love of your life. It reminds me a bit of an American movie I saw called “He’s Just Not That Into You”.. The aspect that reminded me of that was when someone does not move on to the next level in a relationship it could be due to the fact that they are not as into the person as would be best in a committed relationship. And when someone leaves and then comes back later it’s often best not to take that person back because at some level there was not enough love to keep the relationship going. I liked it all the way through and it ended well.

Easier to confide in a stranger
A really good movie, cute and bold, but which for once considers man/woman relationships in a realistic way, with an oh so cute Ji Sung!A man depressed after his breakup, receives a sex call in the middle of the night (in fact intended for the FL's boyfriend). They will discover each other step by step and end up really loving each other.
Excellent directing, good OST and a lot of young actors who will become famous later...

Très bon film, cute et cru, mais qui envisage pour une fois les relations home-femme de façon réaliste, avec un Ji Sung craquant!
Un homme en dépression suite à sa rupture, reçoit un sex call en pleine nuit (en fait destiné au boyfriend de la FL). Ils vont se découvrir peu à peu et finir par s'aimer vraiment.
TB réalisation, bons OST et un tas de jeunes acteurs qui vont devenir célèbres ensuite...

Ji Sung just nailed the role
•Watched it only for ji sung and its 18+ title to know the story. And its really good and gives you break from a typical romcom.•Story- nicely written. With shocker introduction. I liked that how friendship developed into.
•Acting- huge fan of ji sung and his acting. But this was like a blast when I saw him, although its just acting, it gave me shivers, and thats why he is just excellent.
Kim ah joong was also nice, as in phone voice she sounded really sexy.
The chemistry was natural and soft.
•Music- ofcourse the “panty song”.its lyrics are so amn hilarous yet so emotional. Ji sung sang it awesomly and really hits hard.
▪︎Rewatch- since its 18+, once is enough for me.

Great if you're looking for a fun, clichéd film
SPOILERS!SHORT REVIEW: This is a really fun movie to pass the time because the leads have great chemistry, and it's a fun, cliché plot. I also really loved how open this film was about sexuality. I found that really refreshing.
LONG, WHINY REVIEW: I can't help but find it frustrating that the main girl stays in her relationship with her scumbag boyfriend when she's clearly unhappy. I don't care if you've been together for 5 years and want to marry, if your relationship has reached the point where you're cheating, break up!! And the way the male lead went out again straight away with his ex once it seemed clear to him that the female lead would never leave her boyfriend...I just can't relate to such neediness. I mean ffs, there's nothing wrong with being single, people!
Also, this was only a small moment in the movie but I really didn't like the weirdly casual reference made by one of the male lead's friends to paying for prostitution. He makes some whiny comments about how he's sick of paying for sex because you only get fake moans etc., and he wants the real deal. I understand that the attitude towards prostitution may be different from what I'm used to in South Korea, but I'm not up for such trivialisation of prostitution.

Molto divertente!
Un film divertente, un po' piccante però anche un po' romantico.I due protagonisti da due patetici innamorati di persone che non li corrispondono si conoscono per caso al telefono e dopo la telefonata erotica di conosceranno e poi incontreranno e innamoreranno.
Divertenti le loro conversazioni e poi i loro incontri.
Sul finale si mette male ma alla fine tutto bene e ancora più divertente per via della buffa canzone che lui dedica a lei al suo matrimonio...la parte più iconica del film.
Merita la visione per farsi due risate.

Taglio insolitamente audace, contenuti presenti e cast (ML) di alto livello
Un film che si distanzia anni luce dai mille KDrama a cui sono ormai avvezza. L'unico elemento comune è forse la presenza del bravissimo Ji Sung, protagonista di molte serie che ho davvero apprezzato. Alle innumerevoli serie che toccano il picco glicemico con il classico bacio a stampo e dove le immancabili dita intrecciate delle mani pretendono di far saltare un battito, questo film risponde con scene esplicite e un linguaggio altrettanto diretto, devo dire senza mai scadere nella volgarità. Tolto il pesante velo della censura, c'è uno stralcio di vita reale, di discorsi e riferimenti che fanno parte del vissuto di tutti i giorni per la maggior parte delle persone. L'incipit del sesso telefonico, che poi è l'elemento che da il via all'intera vicenda, fa da miccia a una trama che in realtà va ben oltre qualche scena di nudo e due considerazioni sugli attributi maschili: emergono valori e sentimenti, scelte difficile, spaccati di vita, le difficoltà legate all'evoluzioni delle relazioni stesse tra le persone. Non manca l'ironia e nemmeno sorrisi strappati. Attori decisamente all'altezza, in primis il già citato Ji Sung che non finisce mai di stupirmi per la sua versatilità e la capacità di trasformarsi di volta in volta, con un'espressività forte ma mai uguale o stereotipata. Consigliato, non solo perchè diverso dal solito ma anche perchè merita in sè.Was this review helpful to you?
