Woman is the Future of Man

This Korean film centers around two friends who each had his own relationship with the same woman years before.  They meet up after not having seen each other in awhile, and awkwardly decide to look her up.  Then they awkwardly fumble through the rest of the movie.

It's good.  All the characters seem kind of clueless, except the woman mentioned above, who seems to have become kind of numb after all the crap she's been through.

But if you like relationship dramas or guys hanging out remembering old times although they kind of don't like each other anymore, this is definitely one to consider.

Availability: DVD and Streaming
Released: 2004

The Power of Kangwon Province

I apologize in advance for this review, I'm pretty sure it's going to suck.

This is the blurb about this movie on Netflix:

"After a painful breakup with her married professor, Jisook joins two of her girlfriends for a holiday. But in an eerie twist of fate, her former lover plans a getaway for the same destination, where tragedy brings them together once again."

I watched the movie.  I gave it the vast majority of my attention.  Now, it was in Korean, so that is one area where I may have missed something.  I did see Jisook go on holiday.  I even saw her go back to visit a dude she met on holiday.  Then, I saw her former lover go to the same place she had gone.  But I missed any eerie  twists of fate and if I saw a tragedy, it didn't move me much.

So I mean.  Skip it.  Or watch it and let me know what I missed.
