"Seduction is a science"
The movie was all the way funny
But sometimes it was tooo slow and the jokes became boring!
The ending was really different from other movies
Well because the summary u will think who's the "big" winner but there isn't
And u will think they will be together but NO

Son Ye Jin was so different in here than in The Classic and even in Open City
Sexy in suit while dancing on stage
Funny in all the way while in 'seduction'

I see now that I watched Song Il Gook before in Red-Eye
But I don't know
He isn't that attractive
Well he looks better in here than in Red Eye LOL

Hyeon Yeong is always funny
In a variety show even in a movie
It's her voice isn't it?

#1432 The Classic

Title: The Classic
Korean Title: 클래식/Keulraesik
Year: 2002
Country: Korea
Running Time: 132 min
Director: Kwak Jae Yong
Genre: Drama/Romance
Rating: 9.4

I'm not from the genre "drama" but this movie beat all my favorite Korean movies!
I never thought it will be so good!
I regret I watch it so late!
I got it a while @ home already, but 132 minutes was a way to long movie for me!
BUT that 132 minutes was really worth it
AND Suddenly it was so short ... I think it could be longer

There are 2 stories: The Past & The Present
Most is about the past.. That is connecting to the present day
I like the present day story more.. too bad it was so less
But the past story was even so good!
Is it fate or it is just coincidence?
But actually I haven't thought it will end like that so it's fate!

Great Performance by Son Ye Jin & Jo Seung Woo.
But my eyes are on In Seong Oppa
I bought this movie because him
Too bad In Seong Oppa only got a supporting role!
But he was a part from the whole story
I'm so happy he got a happy ending, after watching him in The Dirty Carnival he didn't!
Oppa smile I smile, Oppa cry I cry
I'm so happy he's discharged from his military service ^^

I don't want to spoil to much..
Maybe I did already .. OOPS sorry
This is the best Korean movie till now!
I recommend this one to everybody!
It's really worth it!

On the dutch DVD cover is written "The Korean Basic Instinct"
Well I don't see the connection!
Or only because one is a cop and one is a thief?
Well I expected more when I read the cover info but after all it was a quite good movie
The 112 minutes were so done. And maybe u will wish, could it be longer!
Because the ending was really sucks?! And emotional!

Great performance by female lead Son Ye Jin.
My first movie from her! I saw her in the trailer of White Night!
And badly want to see that movie! Ko Soo is so hot in there LOL

My second movie from male lead Kim Myeong Min.
Earlier saw him in Return. I only can say great actor! LOL
