16 January 2020:
I thoroughly enjoyed this film. I absolutely love the leads, they have really potent chemistry, I wish they get married in real life🥰.
But again Gong Hyo Jin is known for her chemistry with her leading man that she had become known as the Queen of RomCom.
This film is not heavy going but not too lightweight either.
It is a modern romance for the new generation.
But having said that there is still a difference how men and women are perceived with multiple relationships over time.
Sun Young was just starting in a new job. There was a welcome party for the team she was joining.
Being a very pretty woman, she was asked if she was seeing someone.
She just said no when a man appeared with a bunch of flowers asking Sun Young to marry him.
It turned out that they had broken up that morning because she found out that he was cheating on her.
Anyway, the ex-boyfriend was making a nuisance of him. He was hounding Sun Young which was witnessed by Jae Woon.
Jae Woon was not in a good place as he had broken up with his fiancee when she found him with another man in the flat they shared together.
He was bitter that she had done this to him because they were about to be married. He had bought a house for them and had to really work hard to pay for it. The invitations had been sent out and the venue for the wedding and the party had been reserved and paid for.
Anyway, he was rather bitter when he herd that Sun Young does not believe in marriage. He asked her if all women are the same, they no longer believe in the sanctity of marriage.
It got rumoured that Sun Young easily moves from one relationship to the next.
Jae Woon was a bit disparaging about this kind of behaviour but he can’t just help himself. She seemed to shine bright to him. He even stopped calling incessantly his ex-girlfriend.
Instead after his nightly habit of drinking himself silly, he had started calling Sun Young instead.
Sometimes he was so drunk that Sun Young can’t help feeling worried for him.
And yet when they were both sober, they would deny their growing attraction with each other.
Until the time when their team had an away day where they went mountain hiking.
Sun Young held back because she found it tough to hike up the mountain. Jae Woon was there to help/push her along.
During the drink up, everyone got drunk.
Jae Woon noticed that Sun Young was missing. He looked for her in the toilet but he later found her outside crouched by the wall, drunk.
She would have had an accident had he not hugged her away from the incoming traffic.
Sun Young kissed him teasingly and then he kissed her deeply until they ended up in a motel. Still they were still saying that they hated in between kissing and clothes coming off one by one.
After a night of passion, Sun Young got dressed quietly and quickly. She then hastily got out.
When then next saw each other, Sun Young acted as if nothing had happened and that she can’t remember anything.
Poor Jae Woon who had fallen through for Sun Young was crashed and had to pretend that he can’t remember what had happened as well.
Sun Young did want to talk about what happened and called Jae Woon.
His phone was answered by a woman, his ex-girlfriend who had come to visit him to try and reconcile with him.
But he was not interested.
The rumours in the office got so bad that Sun Young had decided to resign.
She was being given a leaving-do party when she turned up already merry (drunk).
She created her own mischief but revealing the secrets of all members of the team. One was gay one had erectile dysfunction, one was having an affair, one was scared of wife, one had never married because she decided to concentrate on her one-sided love.
With all the intrigues going on, this started a brawl.
Three months later, Jae Woon had sold his house and made a closure good-bye with his ex.
He was once again drinking and then got a text from Sun Young.
He ran off to her and they were both so happy to see each other.
Sun Young said that they should play again their word games by lip-reading.
She said moved her lips.
And smiled happily and said he missed her too.
So cute.
