Film Review 6: Everybody has Secrets

Hmmm... why would I even bother? Well, if only to keep check of the number of movies I guess.

A Korean romantic comedy that I thought was worth watching, given the slightly above average reviews it managed to garner. Needless to say, it was a letdown.

The plot managed to sustain itself for a while, but gradually loses steam before it even reaches the half-way mark. Lee Byung Hun provides the megastar presence in the show, and it isn't tough to see why. With his chiselled good looks, suave moves and passionate gazes, which woman (or maybe even some men) can resist him? Heart-throb, yes. Convincing actor, nope. The acting's painfully exaggerated, but having said that, it doesn't mean that other Korean romantic comedies aren't. It's just that this one's perhaps not that appropriate even for an absurd story such as this. Which all adds up to this comment: over-rated.

Who should watch: A hot-blooded male whose girlfriend has 2 hottie sisters.

Who shouldn't watch: A hot-blooded male whose girlfriend has 2 hottie sisters and 1 butcher daddy.
