This movie is basically a chick flick. I am kind of surprised that I enjoyed watching this. There was zero originality in the story and it borrowed heavily from all big Hollywood movies, especially Sex and the City. The four girls were exactly like Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte. They even went as far as making the main character a writer just like Carrie and one of her friends exactly like Samantha- open and promiscuous. Their friendship had a Sisterhood of Traveling Pants touch to it and the glamour in this film reminded me of Gossip Girl. I am sorry for taking these names, but it was pretty much the same! Now, as for the story- it is very simple. It focuses on the friendship between four friends and their daily lives. There was nothing out of the ordinary here except a bunch of feminine issues thrown together and made into a movie with good actresses and good fashion. This is mostly a movie to watch when you want to relax. There isn't anything that makes you mad but makes you feel lighter. But ONLY if you enjoy random chick flicks like I do. Honestly, I am tired of watching movies where somebody gets cancer or they are physically handicapped. At least the writer tried something different for this. This movie is the corniest version of Hollywood chick flicks, but not for Korea. So in that sense, it can be deemed as 'different'. There is nothing great about the screenplay or direction. It is a no-brainer movie for most part but the issues they brought up were real. Anybody in their 20s can relate to these females. Be it confidence issues, commitment issues or a pregnancy scare- this movie has it all. I suppose the writer wanted to write a relatable plot so he included everything females go through. That part was ridiculous, but at least it entertains you. The movie is boring in some parts but the rest of it is alright. I'd say this is pretty good for a one-time watch. I don't know if I would watch it again or not, but I still liked it. It is definitely my favourite Korean chick flick. I don't know why so many people hated it but I would say it is not that bad and go ahead and watch it.
