Keulraesik (2003)
tempting, but poorly edited
In a way, Classic is probably more "Korean" than most other Korean movies. It starts with coincident and ends with it as applied in most medieval Korean literatures.
Director Kwak throws so many things into this follow up to "My sassy girl," and I feel he almost juggles through. But then again, it would be extremely hard to meet high expectation set by Sassy, and probably that's why Mr. Kwak push himself into this. Plain performance from Jo In-Sung and very poor editing hurt this one though. There are some flaws in screen play as well. Despite all of this, Classic is very much worth it to watch.
Saek-jeuk-shi-gong (2002)
Just another piece of an American Pie
Saekjeuk shigong, or Sex is zero, is another example of Hollywood influence over country like Korea. I've seen local movie industry has followed the trails of summer blockbusters(Swiri), series of gangster flicks(My Wife is gangster) and now sex comedy.
If you were entertained by American Pie, Road Trip, etc., you might as well live with this one, though quality isn't quite there yet.
