Great little movie; better than the original short on Five Senses of Eros (2009)

The cinematography is great on this movie, and the actors/actresses do a good job making you feel they are who their characters were supposed to be in the movie!

The first person to review this movie thought that it was strange and "You will need to suspend disbelief while watching this."

You have to forget linear time to understand what is going on in this movie!

if you can do that, you can piece together what happened, not presented in chronological order, and what the movie is trying to say.

This is similar to many love triangles where a man is married to a stoic, dependable but DULL woman, and he cheats on her with a bubbly, undependeable, but EXCITING womans in order to feel young again...You could compare this movie with The Stud andThe Nympho (1980). However, if you don't listen closely to what is being said by Kang Na Roo in this movie, mispelled on some sites as to Na-ru (Kim Hyo-jin) you miss understanding what was actually happening, and after finding out what was/is happening you can also understand why Lee Jung Ha (Kim Hyo Jin) finally told Mini Jae-in (Hwang Jung-min) that he could finally leave.

I didn't like the non-chronological sequence of events until I figured out how the director had set this movie up, the it was both enjpoyable and made more sense after that happened.

The original short, part of Five Senses of Eros, did no tmake much sense without this extended version being released, in my opinion.

I disliked it until my brain realized the non-sequential character of the film

Read my review of The Stud andThe Nympho (1980) for more about the dualistic nature of women.

The nude love sceens were very tasteful and well-thought through and executed, but still wild.

Again, once you figure out what is really happening, it makes so much more sense and is also more enjoyable!

RE-WATCH: Definitely!
