Three esteemed movie reviewers and myself went to watch April Snow today. Here are their comments, diverse and from all ends of the spectrum: "Son Ye Jin is not chiou at all" "walaoeh she's wasting food"(when she depressed and not eating) and finally "I think Bae Yong Jun is very cute"
But I must admit the plot is intriguing. Imagine your spouse has an accident. And that accident happens to be with a member of the opposite sex. And they happen to have taken some saucy videos together. What are you gonna do? If it's me, I'll probably try and sell it. But the stupid Bae Yong Jun just threw it away in frustration. Then he proceeds to talk to his wife's unconscious body on the hospital bed,"Maybe you should've just died". But then if she died , there would be no April Snow. Doesn't he have any sense?
Another thing is the movie feels reeeeallly reeeallly long. It almost seems mandatory that they stare at each other for 5 seconds before they talk. Even the way they touch each other takes up a lot of film time. Like one finger on the face then two fingers and then three slowly until the whole palm is on the face, then he suddenly take the palm away. Inexplicable. Almost everything that they do is in slow-motion. Any slower and we can get retards to act.
So maybe it's still worth watching because of the plot since extramarital affairs are never less than interesting, but its depends strongly on who you watch it with. DO NOT watch with people who have the hots for Bae Yong Jun, esp guys. It means they are psycho.
