Unexpectedly poignant, while inspired by American college movies, carries its own message of responsibility, inspired by asian culture. The movie deals with real topics such as sex, consent & abortions while trying to provide it with some levity and not be a total bore while dealing mature themes. The humor is crass, dirty, sexual & funny? Well it depends on your taste, however, it is daring and does not shy away, playing chicken with the audience.

I can see why Ha Ji Won accepted this role as the film is NOT an all thrills and no frills. It has some substance. Although its heavily leans towards portraying men's sexual desires, It also pays attention to the female perspective and desires. The quality in acting that stood out for me is that throughout the movie it goes into a silent movie style, where the actors are relying on their expressions and body to act out the scenes. The supporting female actors in this movie are brave to expose themselves in a major film in 2002, especially in a reserved society where slut shaming, ostracising are not out of the question.

Overall, the movie is different to its American counterparts, and I say it is all the better for it. So far, it stands the test of time for me. Although it depicts an encounter around consent, or rather the lack of it. It is not shown to condone it, nor does it provide an obvious conclusion.

Its easy to dislike the film because of nudity, sexual themes, depiction of perverted men & women, lack of consent, drink spiking and dare I say date rape. But, this is the reality of our world. Perhaps this should be viewed as cautionary tale and one to learn from rather than enjoying in a purely hedonistic nature.

Also, its better that a film portrays these incidents as this whats faced in reality. The alternative would have been to ignore the problems and focus on just the 'wholesome' part of society. I prefer the reality.
