I'm torn with this film. Ha Jung Woo has an undeniable charm and really felt like the only one moving the film forward. The plot - what little there is - felt too thin for a 2 hour film. Simply, the two characters just move from set piece to set piece; have a small conversation/interaction with a new random character and then move on with a little more money than before. But there was never any explanation given for why Hee-su needed the cash suddenly, so there was never any urgency. There's hints of a past relationship between Hee-su and Byung-woon, but they never go into detail. If the point of the film is she's forced to deal with her ex ('enemy') for a day at least give us a clear reason why we, the audience, should perceive him as her enemy! Overall, the film was pointless, but interesting enough (for me, at least) to complete. It was really only worth it for HJW's performance, which was natural and charming. I just wish there was a better script to match his talent.
