I have been absent from my blog for a little while now but during this absence, I had the chance to catch up on some movies and dramas that I have always wanted to watch but could not find the time. See, once I get back into the groove of watching a movie a night, or at least every other night, I would not have the right frame of mind to work on my blogs.

One of the movies I watched was the Korean American Pie, Sex is Zero 2. This is the sequel to the highly acclaimed Korean sexual comedy, Sex is Zero. I watched that and if you did, you must watch this. I know that Zero 2 has received some negative comments from movie critics for trying too hard to be grossly funny but this kind of mindless comedy is just my kind of movie after a long day at work.

A very drunk Eun-sik

Zero 2 is the kind of movie that works on your imagination yet it is not one that requires you to think too much, or work out the plot or listen too hard to the conversation. It does bring out the laughs and if you have been wondering if the producers could top the fried sperm sandwich scene in Sex is Zero, I am here to tell you that they could.

The original cast of Sex is Zero is back except for the lead actress, Ji-won Ha, who has been replaced by Sung Ji Hyo, the ballerina in Goong. Ji-won Ha has a cameo appearance in the beginning of the movie, though, which shows how she and Eun-sik broke up.

Im Chang-jeong, who carries the role of Eun-sik, is actually a popular comedian in Korea, but judging by looks, you would not know that.

The gang having a good time

If you have yet to watch this movie, it was released in December, 2007, by the way, then I will not leak out the storyline. However, watching this video clip that I found on YouTube would give you a pretty good indication of how the movie will be like.

Oh yes, do look out for a cameo appearance by Denis Kang, a French-Korean mixed-martial arts champion, at the end of the movie.

If you have read my review of Korean movie [K-movie], My Sassy Girl, you would know that I was quite impressed with the way it was able to move me at a critical point in the movie.

My Sassy Girl [American version] movie poster

When I read that American movie makers are going to remake this movie, I was quite disappointed. I think that my Sassy Girl and Shutter are Asian “classics” that should be left as they are. Why do Americans want to come and mess up these movies, I do not know. Do they think that they could top these productions and the way they are able to touch us? I don’t think so. They have more than enough scripts to turn into movies so do that. Make NEW movies.

Of course, Shutter and My Sassy Girl are just fine examples to cite. There were quite a few Asian “classics” that have been adapted as well…..to failure, in my opinion. You be the judge!
