I didn't like it as much as many reviewers - good not great
7/10 is my rating. This is a 2011 South Korean movie spanning 123 minutes.
A young college man, Gyun-woo (Chae Tae-Hyun) spends his time hanging out with his friends, chasing girls and avoiding his mom’s attempts to set him up. One day he sees a girl (Gianna Jun) over the line while waiting for the train and saves her from tragedy. They board the train and he realizes she is very drunk. She makes a scene on the train insisting that a young guy move and offer his seat to an elderly gentleman. Gyun-woo thinks that he really does not like drunk girls. Things settle a bit and the girl drunkenly sways to the motion of the train while standing near the elderly man. Gyun-woo watches in horror as the girl begins to gag and it is apparent she is going to vomit. She tries to hold back but ultimately vomits all over the elderly man. Just before passing out she gestures Geun-woo’s way and calls him honey. No-one believes him despite his repeated denials and he winds up taking responsibility for her. He piggy backs her to the closest place she can sleep it off- a hotel. And that is the start of a rather crazy relationship.
Spoiler ? So many people liked this movie that I gave it a shot. I did not think it was that good. They never seemed to really get together even in the end. The way she treated him was often just mean and her physical violence toward him was abusive. I understood a little why she was acting so crazy but her behavior toward him was inexcusable. Not meeting at the agreed time was rude and flakey. NI did like the twist where a relationship was revealed I was not aware of. I did not find it very funny. The ending left a lot up in the air. A mediocre movie.
