I am impressed with this movie. I thought this was an R-18 love story movie as I based it in the title but I was wrong. It has a very nice story and the love of a guy to the woman is just heroic. What is so interesting about Romance is, it is also packed with action  (my first time to see a Korean movie like this)

Here is the synopsis: (from KoreanMovie)

Watch this movie here.

According to Wikipedia, Marrying the Mafia sold 5,200,001 tickets, becoming 14th highest Korean films-ticket selling film. For the year of 2002 it was the highest-attended South Korean film, and the second highest-attended film (including international productions) in South Korea. Marrying Mafia was also an instant hit, beating out other 2002 film competitors such as Jail Breakers, The Way Home and Sex is Zero.

So out from these information I’ve read I became so intrigue to watch this movie. All the more when I learned that Kim Jung-eun is the starring role. But unfortunately, I didn’t like Marrying the Mafia. It’s a bit dull and I am not satisfied with the comedy. It was kind of a  waste of time. I wonder what made this movie hit and high grossing. Is it because of the gangster story or because of the cast and characters? Jaaahh…I don’t know, only them can tell.

A one of a kind movie which created a big impact why the late Lee Eun-ju committed suicide in the real life.

A detective, his 3 girls & a murder case!

Complex emotional relationships and human nature’s darker sides are explored in this captivating suspense drama about a cop whose lust for love threatens to get in the way of his professional life.

Ki-hoon is guy that doesn’t mind an erotic adventure. Even though he is married to charming and beautiful Soo-hyun, he engages in a passionate affair with his wife’s friend night club singer Ka-hee.

As if things weren’t complicated enough, he suddenly starts being attracted to murder suspect Kyung-hee whom he earlier believed to be involved in the killing of her husband.

Can Ki-hoon finally overcome all the irresistible temptations he encounters in his life ? These and other questions will be revealed in The Scarlet Letter.

Cast and Characters:

Suk-kyu Han – Ki-hoon

Eun-ju Lee – Ga-hee

Hyeon-a Seong – Kyeong-hie

Ji-won Uhm – Su-hyeon

I give this movie 10/10! I just hope Lee Eun-ju didn’t let herself be affected by the criticisms she got from this movie because of her explicit s** scenes. It made this movie great because of her acting and I believe those scenes are apt for the movie, it is not something that can be considered as pornographic. Maybe Korea is still not open to this kind of movie, this is just an ordinary movie in Hollywood you know. There is nothing wrong with this movie in fact you can get a lot of morale/lessons.

I’ve watched Everybody has secrets last night. And I just love these quotes:

Prearranged choice – Loving a man she shoudn’t, she risks her life. To liberate her suppressed ego she chooses death, giving up her physical body. Look.That’s what makes her love beautiful. Only by becoming truthful to her desire for love does she achieve true love.

Lovers is one good Korean Drama that I would love to spend my time watching. I am a fan of Kim Jung Eun ever since Lovers in Paris. Hmmnn..too bad, I am not able to follow all the episodes of it (ABS-CBN airing). I only see a few but there are scenes I don’t understand.

Just this early morning, I finished watching 100 Days with Mr. Arrogant which is a romantic comedy movie from Korea. I just got bored and tired that’s why I watched movie. It helps, sort of a remedy. Hehehehhe…

Anyways, I was having fun while watching this movie but I am a bit frustrated with the ending. It leaves me hanging. Where Hyung-jun (Kim Jaewon) and Kang Ha-yeong (Ha Ji Won) end up together? I don’t get its ending honestly. What the heck happen? Why is Ha Jin Won doing the same or exact thing when they first meet? But this time she is on the shoes of Hyung-jun but with a different guy. Argghh!

Why don’t you check it out guys and tell me what is your idea. It is a 3.5/5 movie for movie!

Synopsis:  (from Wikipedia)

After being dumped by her boyfriend just before their 100 day anniversary, Ha-Young (Ha Ji-Won) meets a college guy named Hyung-Joon when she kicks a can that accidentally hits him in the face and causes him to scratch his Lexus. He demands she pay him $3000 on the spot. She escapes from him, leaving her wallet behind.

Hyung-Joon stalks her, demanding money to pay for his car. Since she is a poor high school student Hyung-Joon writes up a “Enslavement Agreement” for Ha-Young in order to pay for the damage to his car. Ha-Young is thrown into a nightmarish slave life for 100 days, running his errands, ie: cleaning his house, carrying his shopping, and cleaning his car.

By accident she finds out that the damage to Hyung-Joon’s car only costs $10! She then takes her revenge. However, before she knows it Hyung-Joon shows up at her house as her new tutor! He once again takes advantage of her, but soon Ha-Young finds herself falling head over heels for Hyung-Joon. But what happens when he drops out of her life just when she needs him most?

The original Korean title can be literally translated as “my love, the asshole,” or, more roughly, as “my love, the no-manners”.

My friend, Grace requested me to stay at their boarding house to accompany her sister. She is actually out for this weekend for an outing. When I arrived at their house, Love2x and her friend were watching 200 Pounds of Beauty (one the best Korean Movies).

After which, she played another good movie entitled “A Moment to Remember”. I have actually watched this already and I remember I was watching it alone during wee hours.  I was a bit sleepy that’s why I wasn’t able to appreciate the movie that much. Besides, this movie is just like The 50 first dates.

Anyways, last night’s movie mood was good. I appreciate the movie so much and find it so nice compared before. I was touched and moved by their love story. It was just so inspiring. How I wish I could find a guy such like him in the real world. I can’t help to admire  the character. He really loves her wife inspite of the fact that she is suffering from an alzheimer’s disease. And it just made me cry…

I will now include this movie to one of my favorites. Hats off to the whole cast and to all the people behind this movie. There are numerous romantic lines in this movie. I will just have to play it again in order to have a copy of those good and romantic lines. Till next time!

Enjoy life and be in love! 10/10 for this movie!

Synopsis: (taken from Wikipedia)

The first segment of the film, staged in romantic comedy style, introduces the protagonists, a woman named Su Jin and a man named Chul Soo. The movie highlights their accidental meeting in a convenience store and confusion over a can of soda, followed by their subsequent courting despite the social standings that should have kept them apart.

The second segment follows the couple now settling into married life. Su-Jin learns to be a housewife as her husband cares for her. But as the segment progresses, Su-jin begins to display forgetfulness, including an incident in which a fire breaks out because of a forgotten stove. While Chul Soo caught the fire in time, the seriousness of the incident and others draw them to seek medical help.

The third segment involves the revelation of Alzheimer’s disease and the couple’s consequent response to it. Su Jin is heavily burdened by the knowledge that she will forget her husband and hides it from him at first until he seeks advice from the doctor himself. Despite the disease, they make the commitment to stay together and as the disease progresses, the trials the couple go through increase because of Su Jin’s forgetfulness.

The fourth segment reveals Su-jin in the final stages of the disease and the grief Chul Soo experiences because of it. Yet he remains beside her, despite her lost memory, hiding his eyes behind sunglasses when he visits her so she can’t see his tears.

The end of the movie finishes off with Chul Soo replaying the first time they met in the convenience store with all her friends and family in the store. In the final scene, Su-jin is riding beside her husband in the car in the sunset, and he can finally tell her, “I love you.”

While doing some video searching on You Tube a year ago I happened to see a video of this  movie where I read some comments that Too Beautiful to Lie was actually their favorite. Got interested so just three weeks ago, I watched this one. Sorry for the late post you know what happens right? Read this post if not.

Anyway, I like this movie. The story line is cute and I have not seen any duplicate story about this movie (so far). I like the fact that the guy didn’t mind about the past of the girl and they start new things all over again.  Oh how I wish I could find someone who will really love me for who I am. The like of “O Pag-ibig hahamakin ang lahat masunod ka lamang“. . Romantic noh?

By the way, want to watch this movie? Just click this link. On the scale of 1-10 I give this movie 6!
