My P.S. Partner (2012)

This was a good movie and I liked it well enough. The pacing was good, especially when comparing this Korean movie to other Korean movies that have tended to have more awkward pacing. I enjoyed the story even though it was predictable and not necessarily unique. A decent Friday/Saturday night watch while drinking a beer/wine.

As a warning to those people who aren't sure if this is something they are interested in watching - there is A LOT of skin revealed in this movie. There are full-blown sex scenes and entirely naked characters are shown as well. Personally I did not mind how uncensored this movie was, but it is definitely not appropriate for all audiences/ages/maturities, so you might want to have some caution as to who you are planning to sit down and watch this movie with.

Good Entertaining Movie

An entertaining mature comedic love story. I enjoyed the movie and loved watching Ji Sung's attempt on a 'mature movie' role. Yes, 'mature', so do not watch this movie with your young ones.

The story about an accidental meet with a lady friend over a wrongly dialed in 'phone sex' was refreshing. The way of which their relationship grew was fun to watch. The pace of the movie sufficient to keep me glued to the screen. I laughed and giggled quite a bit. A no brainer, just good entertainment.

Go! Ji Sung .... go, go, go! Fighting!

K-drama forever!

I'll give almost anything one shot and there are very few things that can deter me from finishing a film (other than boredom), however for a little while I thought this was just a porno and nearly shut it.

Story: There is one! and it's actually pretty good. The movie had a strong premise and presented it well. However don't go in expecting any intriguing subplots. This is a one-track story and pretty much only delivers on the premise.

Acting/Cast: The main two leads are fantastic! Ji Sung has been one of my favorite actors since his stellar performance in 'Kill Me, Heal Me.' He does very well in this role and plays off Kim Ah Joong rather naturally. Speaking of Kim Ah Joong, I have several favorite scenes where she completely nails her role and sucks me into rooting for this character's happiness.
Unfortunately this movie pushes the rest of the characters to the wayside, choosing to only bother with the main leads and some with the male lead's friends.

Music: To be honest, I'd have to watch this again to pick up on the music, which is why I gave it only 6 stars. there's one or two pieces that stuck out and were good, but I can't remember if the rest of the movie had any. It just wasn't memorable.

Rewatch: Overall it was very enjoyable to watch, this is one where I wouldn't feel the need to only rewatch my favorite scenes.

When I first started watching this movie I didn't know that it was 18+ and then the first nude scene just jumped on me and I was like :O because before that I just watched all these rom-com k-dramas that all have like 13 or 15 pg rating. xD
Well despite my rocky start with it I really enjoyed watching this movie. Here was a wide range of emotions in it so I soon felt like being on an emotional rollercoaster. But in good way!
The characters were realistic and there was no overreacting which I liked. The story itself was very unique so kudos to the movie for that.
It's from 2012 so a bit oldie but don't be afraid to watch it. There are only like 3 nude scenes I think so be at least 18 before you watch it.

First time, when my friend suggested me this movie, I was just like "nyah okay I will think about it... but I will not watch it". But one day when I went travel with her,  she just opened the laptop and told me "watch". It was the best thing she could have done and this way I am saying big "thank you" to her <3

As you could see from previous reviews it's movie for adults, but I will be honest, a lot of today's teenagers saw much worse things, so just take care where are you watching and if someone is not secretly looking what are you doing :P and majority of those scenes are at the beginning of the movie, so don't worry XD.

Okay, but to the movie.
Honestly I hate rom-coms because of their boring story (this was the reason why I did not want to watch this) but this one was so realistic and really well made (I will call this movie an exception which is confirming the rule). Probably the best one rom-com I have ever seen (and I will ever see). Also I have never seen in Asian dramas, that people in movies/dramas are talking about topics like here (but let's be honest, (at least me) we know what kind of people Asians are in real life if you know them really close ;) )... this surprised me a little but I did not mind it at all.
Even though I have never heard about any of those actors (expect one but about that later) (I know, my bad), I loved them here. You can to see, that each actor (also supporting roles) are doing their best.
When it comes to music, after I saw 3/4 of the movie I wanted to rate the music  0/10 (because I did not even recognised any music), but then it came .... SHIN HAE CHUL at his best was there <3 (for those who do not know: probably the most famous Korean hard rock / metal singer... No idea why he is not written in the cast ... If I had known that he is there I'd have watched this immediately just because if him :D And the song from the main character at the end almost killed me :D ... anyway, I give to music 10/10, because Shin Hae Chul :D

So I said nothing  wrong. Why is the overall rating 9/10?
- I did not like the ending (I don't mind those kind of endings but even that I didn't like it)
(7/10 as rematch value is really high for me because I have no time for rewatch, but I guess I'll try to watch this again :D)

Anyway if you think about watching this, please give it a try ;)

How can you love someone when you don't even love yourself?

THIS. WAS. HILARIOUS!

I have to say for all my halal babes that the first few scenes contain rather explicit and nude scenes. But keep in mind, it is not a porn movie.

For starters, I freaking love Ji-Sung here. Usually, in this type of storyline, you would expect the guy to be the 'bad guy that has a douchy attitude. But surprisingly, the writers definitely pulled Ji-Sung off to be this cute man (that I adore so much). I really love the female ML too as her character really is a breath of fresh air!

Overall, I love the message that this movie is trying to give to the audience. Always prioritize and love yourself first before anything else, in order to love someone else. Their P.S relationship might be funny and scandalous, but through that relationship and dynamic, both of the main characters found their true self and finally starting to let go of old memories. If you're hesitant to watch it, please don't. It's very entertaining and of course, has the happy ending it deserves.

P.s I wouldn't rewatch this because someone might walk in me watching a raunchy movie. Don't watch it in the living room kids ;)

So Good

This movie exceeded my expectations. It's just a lighthearted comedy, that's what I first thought. But it continually made me smile when they smile, and my heart hurts when they're sad.

The ML is so respectful to the FL, he is someone who all females should hold candles to. Never settle for anyone who doesn't worship you like he does to her.

Their chemistry is also so sizzling from the get go (when they started talking on the phone). In the other dramas/movie, often the sizzle fizzes out once they're a couple, so when they decided to meet up halfway in the movie, I thought that's it, the chemistry will be gone. But not here.

The first time they met, they looked at each other shyly, and it made my heart smile. They were so sweet together!!!

I watched it again and again over the years. So rewatch value is definitely 10. It's so well acted. Well done!!

I watched this movie years ago but even now remains one of my favorite on-screen romances, particularly because its leads are two of my favorite korean actors but also because they share an amazing chemistry and their meet-cute it’s anything but typical.

Hyung-seung (Ji Sung) dated for almost a decade what he always believed to be The One until -to his utter shock- everything comes crashing down when she leaves him. The days and months pass by, drinking away, when one night he receives a phone call from an unknown number. The caller it’s a woman who tells him to be quiet and puts on an entire show over the phone, which ultimately ends in phone sex. The caller it’s Yoon-jung (Kim Ah-joong) who was hoping to lit the fire on her dying relationship by giving her boyfriend a little surprise over the phone, too bad she misdialed his number and ended up sharing a very intimate moment with a complete stranger.

The rest… you have to watch it.

Ji Sung and Kim Ah-joong share an incredibly chemistry together and built a relationship based on friendship and trust even when they don’t even share any physical space for the better half of the film. There’s good storytelling on this rom-com that not only has it’s focus on the main character’s love lives but also how they perceive themselves, each other and their professional lives. I love how it’s thanks to this new found friendship that the leads find a new sense of security and self-steem where they reach a common place of understanding of who they are, the goals they set for themselves and who they want in their lives.

And I like how the movie isn’t shy nor apologetic about any of the leads own security about their sexuality and mutual attraction. Relationships don’t always go the way we would like to nor have conventional starts, and that’s okay.

I really recommend you watch My PS Partner. It made me laugh and fall in love with the story and characters, all accompanied by a really fun soundtrack.
