"Pretty Love Affairs" (horrible English title - the literal Korean title "Cheap Romance" isn't that much better either) is the best comedy I have seen this year! Everything about this movie hits a bullseye - literally the person that I watched the movie had tears coming out from laughing so hard. The two main leads - Lee Sun-Gyun and Choi Gang-Hee - were perfect in their roles and, man, the more I see of Ryu Hyun-Kyung the more I wonder to myself why she hasn't been a leading lady yet. Anyways, for an absolutely funny, sexy, witty, (and since its a Korean comedy) a few touching scenes movie check "Pretty Love Affairs" ! By far my favorite Korean comedy this year. I would easily give the movie two huge thumbs up and if I had ten hands I would give it 10 big thumbs up!
