When their theater is about to fall deeper
in debt Lee Byung Hun (Uhm Tae Woong) and his friends start a matchmaking
agency that help guys make their girlfriends fall in love with them. With their
motto “Making her fall in love with you in top secret”, the four have a 99%
success rate and take on every client there is.
One day they get visited by a man named
Sang Yong (Choi Daniel), who wants their help in making Hee Joong (Lee Min
Jung) fall in love with him, Hee Joong happens to be Byung Hun’s ex. In the
beginning he tries everything to turn this client down, by making their service
expensive or trying to ruin the operations, but is eventually forced to do it.
Slowly things between Sang Yong and Hee Joong are getting better, but then Byung
Hun starts to get his personal feeling mixed with business..
It’s started out very well, but somewhere
along the line the movie just became less interesting and way too common. The
director probably thought it would be a ‘different’ way of ending the movie
that way, but it just made the entire movie longer and much more pathetic, not
that it started out like that though. Every actor was great, and every
character was very well portrayed, though they aren’t very well written - like
not as deep as hoped. Lastly the couples were trying to create chemistry, but
the scripts just didn’t let them. It was too pretend-like happy and lovely, it
just became halfhearted. It’s not bad, I just suddenly became depressed, and disappointed.
