 Glossy tale of adultery Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
"Love Now" succeeds largely because of the starpower of its brilliant and attractive cast. Wife Yoo Na and her hubby Min Jae are a mismatched pair. Yoo Na, a fashion consultant for a high-end men's clothier, is a hard-charging, aggressive Type A personality. Min Jae is laid-back mid-level hotel manager. Yoo Na is frustrated with her husband's lack of drive. She thinks that she sees that drive in Young Joon (Lee Dong Gun), a freshly-promoted, cold-blooded CEO of a construction company who Yoo Na is outfitting. Min Jae thinks he finds a more sympathetic soul in Young Joon's wife, So Yeo (Han Chae Young), with whom Young Joon spends time when coincidence finds them both on business trips in Hong Kong.

Uhm Jung Hwa is a jaw-dropping presence in this film, a sexy, full-bodied force of nature. Han Chae Young is an almost impossibly lovely revelation. Each of the four lead actors manage to create interesting, vivid characters about whom we come to care even as we watch them engaging in infidelities seemingly without any moral conscience. The film's emotional impact is undercut by the fact that these two marriages seem so ill-matched from the outset. Nonetheless, the tension of these illicit relationships builds to a clever and satisfying climax.

Recommended for a mature audience.

 Fabulous Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Its new for Lee Dong Goon, Uhm Jung Hwa and Chunyang. .. matured role that cuties. Worked for them esp. for chunyang.

She's hot and sexy even the scene was artfully done. It's really nice movie. It's a movie you would love to watch again and again.

 worth it Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
I enjoy watching this movie. Han Chae-young was so beautiful in this one as I have become a fan of her now. She did a good job. I didn't realize she was in My Girl and even Autumn In My Heart. Anyway, this movie is defintely better than most Korean movies of recent. And the DVD packaging is superb for this release.

not to catchy Customer Review Rated Bad 3 - 3 out of 10
This movie is not very catchy to me at all until the end, besides what's included with the dvd is nice and all. The storyline could've been better if they make the 2 couple that stayed behind slept together, just to make everything even out with their spouse that did. This movie is not worth watching, don't get me wrong, this is just my opinion.

 Affairs of the Heart Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
Sometimes its totally the movie that is the focal point with me (which is what it should be, I guess), but other times its the delight of who is actually appearing in it. It should be a balance of both, but this time I really enjoyed this film for the latter reason (and why I bought this DVD), as Jung Hwa Uhm and Yong Woo Park are getting to be firm favorites of mine, and give two enjoyable performances here. Alongside them (literally) are Chae Yong Han and Dong Geon Lee, who help to make this film about four career professionals (and 2 couples ready to change partners) who are all romantically starved by being with their better halves - you get here a quite entertaining and interesting tale of extra martial affairs. If anyone who watched and enjoyed the recent movie "Seducing Mr Prefect", with Jung Hwa's class act there, I can strongly recommend this, as Jung Hwa's vibrant character and dizziness in her role here, is similarly funny and entertaining. And she goes across all the emotion spectrum again! She comes out with some retaliating classic lines, too (which I know are better in Korean, but I have to use the crutch of English subbies), that suits her charactered humor. I liked the bit when Yoon Na accuses Young Joon of using too much English word play in her sentences, as she tries to woo him (professional at this stage) as her business client, and of then her retaliation to his laconic attitude. I won't spoil it and say any more, but this film is all Jung Hwa style to a tee - playing the woman scorned and taking no prisoners! Especially with her 'boxing match' stand off with Young Joo! Likewise, the ever increasingly likable Yong Woo is on form here in his laid back and amiable manner, as the hotel manager Min Jae, as he woos Young Joo's wife So Yeo, when they meet in Hong Kong. Sensitive.

Although this is another cheating in relationships movie, its far less cavalier in the sort of cheating mode of recent similar movies, and more of a 'finding the right partner that is more suitable' type - by these couple's initial marriage concerns being seemingly at a cul-de-sac of no horizons! But lessons are learned in all of this, and the story balances up the sensitive issues of the characters straying and cheating in the first place. The couplings learn, in fact, more about the hidden feelings of their spouses, by the emotions brought to the surface by the affairs. Its difficult to actually tsk at their boundary breaking actions, here too, as Young Joon shows hardly any attention to his wife So Yeo, and Yoo Na constantly demands that Min Jae should be more higher in his business status. Which is all fuel for an affair, by the looks of it here.

Its a bit steamy in places, though - considering its '18' tag, but actually these scenes of passion (which are only two scenes) aren't exactly overt as some Korean films can be, and are humorously paralleled (especially with Yoo Na and Young Joon) to ease any embarrassment factor.

The packaging to this DVD is nice too! Its a digi-pack two disk set that is housed in a gorgeous slip case with a nice set of postcards enclosed, that are the size of the DVD slip case. One thing with the packaging, though, is that it states there is only Korean subtitles to the film, but panic ye not, as there are also good English subbies, for those who appreciate them!

Its all worth it, this - a good film, good overall performance and one great 'present giving' DVD set with nice case and postcards. Recommended to all romantics and especially for anyone who enjoyed Jung Hwa in "Seducing Mr Perfect". You'll love her in this!
