This movie feels like a documentary that depicts the ups and downs in the relationship of a very ordinary couple!
Personally I loved it!
Story: the story of most couples in this universe...we all lived/ will live this story (or at least parts of it)...a very ordinary couple breaks up...then they get back together...then they break up...that simple...the funny thing that at the end the movie describes itself as a boring story of a regular couple...but I didn't really find it boring :D
Acting/Cast: both did a great job in their roles...specially Min Ki...he improved a lot though his character is pretty much regular he made it seem really special…with the right expression and accent...he was just living the role!
Music: nothing special!
Rewatch Value: I'll definitely rewatch this but as I've already seen the whole thing and it's not much on the comedy...I didn't rate it high!
*Overall the movie had a simple idea...treated it well...the leads had good chemistry...it was definitely worth watching (Y)
*This isn't a sweet, heartwarming or funny movie but a realistic one...please put that in mind when you go watch it so you don't get disappointed :)

I really liked this movie, especially the beginning because it was hilarious. It was different from how I imagined it, and at times (very rarely) it dragged a little. The two leads had great chemistry and it wasn't cheesy or cliche. It had just the right amount of romance to make you feel like they were truly in love with each other and their disagreements were very cute at times and heartbreaking at others.Overall I'm definitely glad I watched it. It's once of the most realistic protayals of couples I've ever seen.

The style of this movie is uncannily similar to that of the TV show The Office with its documentary style and looking at the relationships of working people.

The relationship lives up to its name - a very ordinary couple. In that sense, the movie doesn't peak and valley like a drama or romantic comedy would. But what it does well is tell the story of an ordinary relationship going through its ups and downs. If you've been in a relationship before, or know of friends' relationship problems, the story will be very relatable. I appreciate the down-to-earthiness, as much as I appreciate the comedy and sometimes farcical nature of it.

Lee Min Ki and Kim Min Hee have good chemistry as a couple breaking up. It would probably be worth a rewatch if you're in a place in your life where you find your relationship going nowhere, or going through a difficult period.

I really liked this movies although it was a bit predictable.
Was nice to watch because was just simple and realist about relationships.
If you are expecting romantic love scenes etc...yes or can watch that but more the fighting and the arguing.
Represents well the daily life of a couple, the problems, the struggling, the overacting, the jealousy, the trust and the lies but also the capacity to try again and star over and over...because it's love, and well love it's not only romance and fun...that why i liked this movie.
It really makes you think about your own relationship or love life in a positive way!

Sh88ty college community project

This ain't a movie, it's a college community project gone wrong.
Messy acting, messy characters, f88ked up cinematography.
Horrible direction and a Horrendous experience.
The director who's also the screenwriter should be fired.

They chose a half-baked script based on some toxic relationship, like those f99ls who f88k around and created a screenplay out of it .
One could accept that the concept was good enough to proceed but the writing in such a manner.
All hell should break loose with such sh88ty dialogues.
Acting talent of both the leads was wasted.

I'm seriously angry at this lady who made this movie.
She shouldn't be found near the director's chair or writer's den.
Go do some other work blondie.

The leads have explosive chemistry

The chemistry between the leads is the saving grace for this movie. Had it been any other actors, i would have dropped it or might not even have considered watching it.

Were they an ordinary couple? Not really. This is an exaggeration of what ordinary couples are. Sure people fight & have on again off again relationship but these two didn't seem to care about each other. The only time they seem to care was when then weren't together. They were at least not ordinary to me. Both were so violent, making it worse for each other. Maybe this is ordinary to someone out there.

I was hoping they would each find someone to calm them down. But they end up repeating the cycle.
