Day 280 - My Dear Enemy (Korean)

My Dear Enemy.jpg
"
Thirty-something Hee-Su (Jeon Do-Yeon) is single, jobless, & miserable. She holds a perpetual sneer, showcasing all of the bitterness she holds against life and her ex-boyfriend Cho Byung-Woon (Ha Jung-Woo). Meanwhile, Cho Byung-Woon is a fast talker and a known player with women. He's also a dreamer with little in tangible assets (Byung-Woon is jobless & currently homeless). Approximately one year ago, Byung-Woon borrowed $3,500 from Hee-Su. Since the loan, Hee-Su hasn’t seen or heard from Byung-Woon.
One day, when Byung-Woon cohorts at a racetrack with friends, he turns around to find Hee-Su standing over him and giving him a stare down that's reflective of all the disdain she holds for him … or does she? Hee-Su demands repayment for her loan and not later today or tomorrow, but right now. Byung-woon doesn’t have the money to pay her back, but he does have a lot of other girlfriends that would loan him the money. Thus, Byung-Woon and Hee-Su set out together to retrieve the money and possibly more…. "

A very basic story with no excitement nor any heavy drama. The main character has a good view of life and never lets himself get down even when he is homeless. The woman's motives are slightly unclear as most of the characters in the film have very vague backgrounds. There is a past between everyone in the film and the main character but we don't get to see it. This is the kind of film you might watch if you have nothing to watch even though it is a good movie.

2.9/5
