OMG - What a laf!
|
One thing about “Oh My God 2” the cast and crew certainly enjoyed making this, especially Sung-koo Choi whose constantly in hysterics, speaking volumes about the sort of humour here. The plots a simple enough tale, well written with funny situation comedy skits. Okay, there’s a big genre shift at the end, like Korean film “Pisces” romance to psycho killer shift and ironically a film I watched this weekend “Rahtree: Flower of the Night” a Taiwanese horror, which cleverly mixes drama, horror and comedy. But this doesn’t ruin OMG2’s comedy. Beginning with a flashback hint of mystery as Jung Hwan saves Eun Ji from jumping off a hospital building roof, the plot soon focuses onto Jung Hwan, the proverbial playboy poser always trying to impress girls by showing off his designer trousers, but never seriously falling in love with gals he dates. Until he meets Eun Ji, that is. Jung Hwan gets taxi driver blues though when roped into his mother’s taxi business after caught stealing wads of money from mummy’s deposit safe. JH’s regular money income is stopped and he’s forced to drive taxis around for a living, to pay back the money he’d stolen (after spending it on designer cloths). Trouble is JH’s a crap taxi driver. He sleeps a lot in his taxi, tells clients to go away if they want to go anywhere, and even gets customers to drive his taxi themselves if they persist. JH meets Eun Ji after losing her ring and she constantly niggles him to take her on meals, amusement park rides and ‘invisible dates’ as a way for JH to make up for her lost ring. Eun Ji as an ulterior motive, too. This blooms into romance where Jung Hwan’s taxi roof is removed, the car filled with flowers and driven as an ‘open top convertible’ with Eun Ji around the mountains. It’s sooo funny though. Better than laughing gas in fact (cheaper, natural and safer, too), even with a sad end. The kooky situation skits, dialogue and acting are tremendous with great supporting characters (+ cameos). Mun-suk Ahn as a female taxi driver and her runaway goose is brilliant. Also a gay Japanese AV movie buff who’ll pay $1000 to Jung Hwan if he’ll watch a AV movie with him is another highlight (Jung Hwan not amused though). Choi Sung-kook Choi and Yeung-eun Lee (lovely in “Humming”) are great together. That melodrama genre shift? Well, OMG2 being a daft light-hearted type the sadness gets cushioned by a final skit. Sense of irony here. Worth seeing, in fact you’ll laugh till the tears reach your toes! |

huge letdown
|
for those that have seen the first, be warned this sequel is a huge letdown The biggest problem with the film is that half an hour in the comedy is replaced by melodrama, yes melodrama. and its done terribly Since 2002 Ive been an avid watcher of korean films and the melodrama here is easily the worse i have seen, in 7 years!!! Please dont buy this... |
