Review

The high intensity level found lately in most Korean films is lowered considerably in this modern, free-wheeling tale of young adultery. Two bored housewives each embark on affairs with men from Internet chat rooms. Thirty-something "Dew" (Kim Hye Su, Tazza: The High Rollers) is a sexy, impetuous gal who, to the chagrin of her naïve college-age lover (Lee Min-Ki), knows exactly what she wants. "Small Bird" (Yoon Jin-seo, Oldboy) is a more restrained younger woman who married an older man, and now craves intimacy — but maybe not physical intimacy. To the increasing frustration of her own traveling salesman lothario. The women's illicit encounters repeatedly intersect, often at the countryside hotel that has become their daytime haunt. As their affairs continue right under the noses of their unsuspecting spouses. Neither the illegality of adultery in South Korea nor the threat of the police coming upon them in flagrante delicto keep this film from being a breezy, lighthearted female-centric romp. Not high art, but a fun, commercial romantic comedy. (Korean with English subtitles)
