The story is about a writer and an editor working together and falling in love. She is an editor trying to get a series of books published featuring writers in different cities justifying their single lives. Unfortunately the story isn't eventful enough.
Lee Dong Wook has been appearing with monster makeup or looking bad and crazy in his recent shows. So this is a chance for his fans to see him as a normal person in a romantic role. Im Soo Jung looks too goofy the whole time with her eccentric get up and granny glasses and over curly hair. There is absolutely no chemistry between them. He looks like he is modelling the latest mens wear coats and turtlenecks perfectly groomed and with perfect hair. In contrast she looks like a blast from the past. No one in their forties can get away with that grungy look droopy glasses and over permed hair. No reason to fall in love is shown in the movie. There is little build up in the relationship or even signs of attraction. The first almost kiss on the street was totally unromantic. And Esom who plays his first love looks even less likely to have had an affair with him. Why didn't they pick actresses to better match his looks like Seo Ji Hye or Han Hyo Joo? At least then the main couple would have looked good together.
A bunch of familiar faces in supporting roles including Lee Sang Yi looks unrecognisable with the glasses. He shows off singing talent.
The pseudo drama at the end is such a non event. What was there to be mad about? Then his acceptance of the issue was unexplained.
One thing about the subtitles which were in white and often played out on a light background so they were often difficult to read.
Fans of LDW will like this movie but for others it may be lacking in substance even for a rom com.
