Korean movies take me longer to have access to. And by that time, there is already another drama to watch. There are some movies that I would really like to watch though. And I agree with you guys, the manufactured angst does not feel totally the same in most dramas. If one looks hard enough, one can find one or two (or more) things to like about the drama, and remain focused on those, to finish the drama.
Thank you for your thoughts... So maybe I should lower my expectations for this movie?

I hardly watch Korean movies but I'm a huge fan of Hollywood films.I feel as if Korean movies kill the world that dramas create for me. Anyway, does JB ignores only k-movies or from other languages as well?

Basically, this movie was "Friendzone: The Movie" and I was too busy tearing out my hair to be that into it. It's like, "Guys, I think you seriously need to actually be physically away from each other like, a year or something." Their relationship went from being pretty cute as friends to uncomfortably dysfunctional and irritating. Although LSG dimples, damn it.

i watched Today's Love too, and i was bored to tears... seriously, i thought a movie with Lee Seung-gi and Moon Chae-won would be awesome, but it falls flat in the end. they're funny, but i can't see the chemistry between them. this is one of those rom-com movies that failed in delivering both the romance and the comedy. :/

I am yet to love a Korean rom-com movie. Good ones are too difficult to come by and I'd rather be watching dramas where character development are plenty. I though Today's Love was dry, like real dry. No interesting conflict, nothing to make me care. But, Moon Chae-won was quite impressive; I've never seen her more animated since she plays very serious roles most of the times. She was definitely worth the watch.

Seung-gi, on the other hand, I'm still not sure why he'd pick something so mundane for a movie debut. It did decently well all thanks to the star power of both leads, but if not for MCW's spirited performance, this would have been a compete bust. I'm actually quite disappointed at Seung-Gi's recent projects. I hope this isn't the last we've seen of him before enlistment of it would surely be a very anticlimatic exit.

I think they put all weight of the movie to the main leads and relied to them..They even rushed the post production..At least the leads were so adorable and had good chemistry..This is the only thing that made me finished the movie..

I watched it last week. I was excited because the trailer looks cute and funny. But it is so boring. Then I think I saw an article that Seung Gi was offered the role of Cha Do Hyun in KMHM then declined because of the promotions of this movie.

I'm like you javabeans! For some reasons I never finish movies, most of the time stopping at an hour mark. Also, I wonder if it's just me but most of the Korean movies I've actually finished don't have good endings. Like really, it goes into the climax point then randomly finishes as if they didn't have enough time. It annoys me so much that I don't feel like watching another movie.

And yes girlfriday, I'd rather watch Bok Dong all day long.

hahhaha gotta admit i watched this a few weeks ago and it was pretty bad and the angst was just so stupid to me. can't blame ya javabeans!

No wonder am into drama more than movies.i think the only korean movie that i have ever watch is millionaire first loving.though i love KWB i never watch any of his three movies

I'm trying to watch more Korean movies, but I always have a drama I need to catch up on. I've watched like less than 2O movies. And the ones I've watched so far have not been good or satisfying... :/ I think that with dramas, the relationships feel more developed and mostly believable.

Is it possible for people in the USA to watch the movie - Today's Love? Pay to watch online somewhere? Thanks!

Same here JB. It takes me a great deal of patience to sit through a movie when I can already foretell how is it gonna end. There are very few movies which has kept my attention like JSA, Bleak Night and some of the old romantics like The Classic.
Maybe dramas are the better storytellers (which the big 3 are currently struggling with).

While I do love some Korean movies, most of their plots tend to be all over the place like it's having an identity crisis. That's why I prefer dramas because stories are more fleshed out and complete.

While it's a bit hard to find good Korean rom-coms, there are many good Korean thriller/melodrama/anything about war, especially in early 2000s. A Bittersweet Life is a great gangster movie, Lover's Concerto is heart-wrenching though it took me so long to finish it, A Moment to Remember keeps my crying everytime I rewatch it (Jung Woo Sung oh Jung Woo Sung), I find Introduction to Architecture decent but likeable, and Miracle in Cell No.7 is one of the best.
And there are good rom-coms too. Miss Granny and My PS Partner are hilarious, I like Hello Ghost though it's boring until around the last 15 minutes, and though I didn't really like My Sassy Girl, I admit it's a good movie.
In Korea, anything with Song Kang-Ho or Hwang Jung-Min is usually good, though I haven't seen much of them.
Now I want to watch Ode To My Father bad-bad-badly! It airs here in my country but not in my city!

I have a problem with korean movies. Maybe I'm just watching crappy ones... They are never consistent. They begin strong but then, pfft.

I was really disappointed about this movie when I watch this, it is just so predictable that made the story boring.

The movie seemed cute and fun but it turned to be sooo boring.

The leads looked good but I didn't seem much chemistry, and the editing of this movie is just weird. Some scenes and songs came too fast or with weird song choice.

There are only two k-films I have ever gotten through fully and understood the point of the angst...Sunny and Speed Scandal. Everything else I just cringe at some of the plotlines or don't understand the point of the problem OR how they resolved it. I thought I was the only one like that though. Its a shame that I will never love the films as much as the dramas hehe

javabeans, do you like watching "The Girl Who Sees Smells"? Isn't it as boring?

It takes me months to finish one drama. I'll finish four episodes and then stop. Just like that.

I don't know, perhaps distractions are everywhere?

I like romances, and one reason I like shows more than movies is the amount of time available to develop relationships.

Recently I watched Hellcats/I Love Trouble and just couldn't care about the engagement that fell apart because we didn't really see how that relationship developed to begin with. They had one blind date, one drunken one-night stand that she initiated (I have no problem with that), then all of a sudden he loves her, he proposes, she says okay. What?

There wasn't enough time in a movie to develop 1 relationship, let alone three for each of the 3 main characters, so all of them felt unsatisfactory.

Well, I did like the younger daughter's story but it was a budding romance between friends so they had some kind of relationship already.

I really liked Penny Pinchers. But considering I like the format of a TV series over films, I rarely ever just "watch a movie," US or Korean. The last movie I saw in a theater was the second X Files, and the last US movie I watched was Veronica Mars -- both based on TV shows. Pretty clear where my bias lies. That said, I liked Today's Love just fine, probably because I had no expectations of it other than LSG is cute.

I didnt like love today too,it was boring somehow ,the acting was good but i couldnt feel the chemistry as much as i thought and expected to feel,the storyline was weak too!i love rom coms movies but this one was one of the lowest one i think,i was moving it forward every 5mins!! In this category i watched my ps partner and that was awesome!i couldnt get my eyes of the screen so much good ,even runway cup was more entertainig that love today,anyway if i wanna say about 2last movies i've just watched are pirotres(which was fun and action )and coin artists(kim woobin rocked it!!!)these two were so good and werent waste of the time! Wich when i watched love today had the feeling of:why did i waste my gigs and time on this movie??

Seung Gi turned down a lot of offers because he said he was being careful to pick his first movie role and he ended up with this? Come on...

It seems like someone needs to give advice to Seung gi when picking his projects. A brand name of a writer or director doesn't guarantee success. Same thing with Gu Family Book, which was penned by a famous scriptwriter.

I didn't like this movie :(. It was so draggy and boring. I wanted to watching something light and fun and it didn't give me much of that. I found Seung Gi's character to be increasingly annoying and by the end I was wondering why they were together.... Moon Chae Won was charming though.

I wanna watch this movie but idk... ive been deceived with many k.movies like with Secretly, Greatly, Obsession... I wanted to kick someone! The most recent movie I watched was Plan Man and it was cute, the pairing was cute and the OST was great! i thought it was going to be a full on comedy but then they inserted the "angst" and it became absurd for a second! same thing happened with Secretly, Greatly...
Id like more movies like Wolf Boy -made me fall in love with Joong Ki!- and Miss Granny, those were amazing!

Miss Granny was equally as boring as this, so was my love my bride...And don't even get me started on that other MinAh teahouse film ugh!

At least this one had a few cute and funny moments to make up for the rest of it's craptastic-ness lol

I like the rom-com genre but most of the films in that genre(in any language) have promising trailers and disappointing(to varying degrees) movies. I was really looking fwd to Today's Love, so the meh- response here is dampening.
Off topic, but watched the Hollywood classic 'how to steal a million'(without any expectations) and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I agree with some of you that said Ko do best in darker shade of movies, their psycho thrillers are the best! Even better than Hollywood, I must say. OLD BOY was one classical piece, and Park Chang Wook is one of the most respected film director to day. It's part of the vengeance trilogy and one of the best movie series that Korea ever had.
