Love Me Do?

Well, I'll accentuate the positive from the negative regarding the inverted 'Beatles' English title for the film here, although in this movie the nature of love is a bit cynical. I had read on various web sites quite negative opinions about this movie on its theatrical release and was expecting a bit of a damp squid when it came out on silver disk, but after watching this DVD (about March this year) have found "Love Me Not" to be a worthwhile inclusion - just don't expect lovable, cuddly characters. The story flows well, and in tone its a moderately dark plot with sudden occasional bursts of actual and vocal violence, but overall a film that can be enjoyed by most. Although I've read this, it is a terribly cynical movie and it can be hard at times to sympathize with the two main characters. Performances seem a bit theatrical, too, which maybe due to the confines of the mansion estate setting for many of the scenes, but it doesn't detract from the filmic aspects and the cinematography surrounding the estate is excellently photographed. Ju Jyuk Kim performs a good role as the shady Julian (and he don't half look young here) and along with actress Ji Won Do (who was in Korean horror "Cinderella" and dance film "Flying Boys") as the governess at Min's family estate, some of their scenes together are so electric that you could frazzle bacon on the air afterwards. Oh, they've got a chemistry here - buts its very explosive! JJ and JW should make a movie together, I think. Geum Young is certainly gifted and talented (confirmed to all by her sister in ATOTS) and her blind heiress role here is another solid worthy addition to her talent. She gives complete heart into her role and, yes, she's a lovely actress. Although the final conclusion to this film could seem amorous and incredulous it can be possibly satisfying with an open mind. The romance elements do happen although you might wonder how by the sulky and brittle attitudes of Min and the obviously shady nature of Julian's pretense and dangerous dealings of acting as Min's brother. Or is it impossible for such characters to rise above their dire cynical lives to become new people? Surely not impossible. The 'age thing' could freak some out though (like Little Bride) with this love aspect between Julian and Min and be perceived as slightly mis-placed, as if this film should have been made 3 years on from when it was made. The music to this film is good. I quite like the OST album in its own right and have listened to it often (like the excellent "Almost Love" OST!) - some good emotive and melodic theme music along with an 80s electronica type pop ditty that reminded me of stuff I used to listen to (and still do). For younger GY fans its does have a bit of violence in places (although no more than ATOTS), as her adult years are coming to the fore now (and younger fans alike). It could be a time to anticipate more interesting GYM future roles, too, and hopefully more artistic license than only commercial ones. GY's too talented for commercial only. Worth seeing this (and you get a mega package DVD set here) but it is all a bit cold, a bit cynical and a bit loveless. |

Moon Geun Young is amazing
| Moon Geun Young has done it again, she is like always perfect in this movie. Although a little confusing, the movie is very touching and very well paced. It's not as good as Moon Geun Young's two previous movies, but still good b/c she plays a completely different role. Great Movie! |

Very touching
| Although the story is just like any other korean dramas, i still find this movie very nice. Kim and moon acted pretty well. Although, moon is a lot younger than Kim, they look good together. In fairness, Kim looks real good in white clothes. Well ended... watch it. |
