Immediately after coming off a suspension, Detective So-yung (Yoon-ah Song — Face) is thrust into one doozy of a case. Seems the victim died from acid. An acid released from inside his body. And this isn't the type of acid those crazy kids are fond of — the only trip these cats are taking is to the morgue.

To make matters worse, there are a couple more men dying off the same way. There appears to be a serial killer on the loose, and the last thing the victims are seeing is a long-haired woman in black (with some freaky blood-shot eyes).

Throw in a new partner and some crazy dreams and So-young has her work cut out for her.



This was totally different than what I expected. I'm happy to say it wasn't as scary as I was lead to believe. I am not a HORROR fan. But I had to watch this only because It had Lee Dong Wook. Such a cutie pie.

This started out as a typical crime drama. We are lead to many crime scenes. Lots of CSI and he said/she said. And on any typical thriller, we have a possible ghost who has a vendetta for revenge.

I will say I was a little intrigued as the story went about it's business. I was shocked though at the end. I really didn't expect it. And like a fool, the hints were all over in the movie but I chose to ignore them. I'm sure many who read this and watch it will be like..."I can't believe she didn't catch that!" Yeah, I was harboring hopes of all kinds in this movie.

LOL! And they, the makers of this film, left an opening for another movie but I don't think it'll happen. This movie, really, was just OK. It wasn't a great film only because it was TYPICAL. There wasn't any finess. No originality. This could have been made by anybody, anywhere.

I won't say it was bad. Something to watch if you are bored. Just not an extravagant movie that'll blow your mind away. A movie probably better rented than seen at the theaters.

Romance can bloom out of the strangest events. Sometimes even very embarrassing ones. Running after a pickpocket, Detective Kang Jae Hyuk (Lee Dong Wook, My Girl) finds out how problematic journalist Choi Soo Jin (Hyun Young, The Art of Seduction) can be when the skewer that holds her delicious treat magically ends up impaled in his abdomen. Things become more complicated when Kang becomes the police's media rep, as Choi is transferred to crime reporting. The reality show that ensues ("The Choi vs. Kang Report") enables the bickering pair to pursue a crime boss for the benefit of both their careers. But the two start to form a reluctant but formidable alliance: he's good looking, a great fighter, and a good detective. And she's determined to get her story done. Together, they make The Perfect Couple.



LOL! I watched this last night. It was a fun movie. I didn't realize how good looking Lee Dong Wook was. Maybe I should have watched this after Koizora (Sky of Love) because it had really funny, happy moments that lifted your spirits. Totally fun movie to watch. Really!

You never know when love comes your way and how at first it can seem unlikely. I really loved this comedic, romantic romp.

I should have written this last night but it was late and now it's not so fresh in my mind plus I have Koizora running through my head. Ugh! Sorry...*embarrassed*

Just watch if you love looking at LDW!
