YesAsia Editorial Description

Jeon Mi Sun (Memories Of Murder and Christmas In August) stars as Au Jin, a bored housewife living in Busan. Her husband does very little to help raise their two children, so Au Jin works a number of part time jobs to make ends meet. Working in a call center, the conversations she has with a mysterious man are the only things in life that seem to make her happy. When she is encouraged to get a job as a hostess in a bar, Au Jin meets Min Su, and can finally open her heart.

Director Oh Seok Geun returns to filmmaking after a twelve year hiatus, but proves that he has not allowed himself to get rusty during this time. Love Is A Crazy Thing delicately approaches the themes of aging, chauvinistic society, and the magical feeling of helplessness that accompanies true love. Both Jeon Mi Sun and Oh Yun Hong (as Min Su) deliver knockout performances, complemented by elegant cinematography and editing.

나이만 먹은 연애초보,
그녀에게 달콤 쌉싸름한 연애손님이 찾아왔다...

무미건조하게 살고 있는 어진은 전화방 아르바이트 중 알게 된 한 남자와 통화를 하면서 지겨운 일상의 외로움을 달래곤 한다. 그에게 사소한 일상을 시시콜콜 얘기하고 위로받는 것이 어진에겐 삶의 청량제와도 같았던 것. 그러던 중 곤경에 처한 어진을 도와준 김여사의 소개로 유흥업의 길에 들어서게 되며, 남다른 매너로 그녀에게 다가서는 민수를 만나게 된다.

연애에는 서툴고 사랑에는 어색한 어진은 민수의 접근에 설레면서 한편으론 어쩔 줄 몰라 하지만, 점점 부드럽고 자상한 그에게 빠져드는 자신을 발견하게 된다. 그러나, 사랑하는 사람으로서는 납득하기 힘든 요구를 하는 민수의 제안에 당황하게 되는데...

Trapped in a tawdry world Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
In "Love is a Crazy Thing", Jeon Mi Sun plays a woman in her thirties with two small children who has been abandoned by her husband and is struggling to pay the bills by working at home making "phone sex" telephone calls. When her employer changes hands and the new owner is even stingier than the old one, Miss Jeon realizes that she must find alternative employment. That's when she runs into the charismatic madam of an escort service.

In order to earn more money for her family, Miss Jeon decides to become an escort service girl. She finds it humiliating and initially resists going to the "final round" with her customers, but eventually she must do it.

This is not a lurid film; it seldom seeks to be erotic. It instead seeks to provide a frank snapshot of the sad lives of these escort service women, as they spend night after night drinking too much and being exploited and abused by their customers.

It can be difficult to watch some of the more brutal scenes of this film, but Jeon Mi Sun's sympathetic performance draws us along with the hope that somehow she can escape this tawdry world into which she has fallen. Special mention must be made of the excellent soundtrack music for this film, which helps to humanize the dehumanizing world the film depicts.

I recommend "Love is a Crazy Thing" for a mature audience.
