Its funny that what makes me wanna watch this movie because one comment in Youtube that says this movie would be pg13. With such a controversial topic like bdsm, how can they make it pg13? So i intrigued to watch it since last month. So here’s my thoughts (I will try to avoid spoilers, but LOL)
Story : like i said, this is controversial topic about sexual preference, so (understandably) people would expect sensual and explicit scenes. This movie can maintain the sensual tension without giving sex scene at all, while there are people who dissapointed by it, it is huge plus for me since i don’t really mind if there is sex scene or not. My favorite scene is their “final play”, for me that scene really give many emotions. Had it been inconsistent with their sensual theme, that particular scene would be fell flat for me. Their story about culture in workplace also done well without screaming too much feminism
Acting : this is my first time watching seohyun and jun young act, and they really deliver. Seohyun as a straightforward, no-nonsense character is really endearing and jun young can pull off being good like puppy boy without being pushover. The side character is quite OK, i like Le El character here.
Music : nothing memorable but i think it suits the movie
Rewatch value : highly rewatchable, i think i would rewatch it after this
One thing i complained about is their problem in the end, i know it will happen as i watch the movie (they are quite reckless in first half), but the problem feels so abrupt and the conclusion is kinda rushed. If they just focused on their relationship after the contract ends, maybe i will give it 8.5. But for me, the ending makes me give it 8
