Song Hye-kyo has a beautiful face. Her overall appearance is easy on the eyes. That’s common knowledge. But we seem to forget that she has chosen Acting as a profession. So why isn’t she showing any professional actor’s skill in her supposedly “carefully chosen” projects?

“Now, We Are Breaking Up” is once again very much like a glossy Song Hye-kyo poster ad. Lovely to look at but after a while it leaves you wanting for more substance, more talent, and more dynamism.

The writer is being kind and generous to this veteran thespian by not assigning her a difficult and challenging role to portray. But it is at the expense of the viewers who are expecting high quality and first rate entertainment from someone of her stature.
