Kwon Sang Woo and Kim Ha Neul, the popular stars of 2003's hit film My Tutor Friend reunite for writer/director Lee Han's 2005 romantic comedy, Almost Love! The two actors play Ji Hwan and Dal Rae, a pair of friends who grew up together in the same neighborhood and have been platonic pals ever since childhood. While Taekwondo student turned stuntman, Ji Hwan (Kwon Sang Woo) wishes to follow in the footsteps of his hero, action movie icon Jackie Chan, drama student Dal Rae (Kim Ha Neul) would like nothing more than to become an actress, although her eternal shyness during the audition process continually prevents her from landing any plum acting roles.

Although the two of them bicker incessantly, there's a mischievous, altogether playful quality to their arguments, and as the film develops, it becomes clear that they are great friends with a deep affection for one another. However, their friendship takes a turn for the worse when they each begin dating other people: Dal Rae starts seeing a handsome, athletic young man who happens to be a fellow member of Ji Hwan's Taekwondo group, while Ji Hwan himself begins going out with a gorgeous young woman with a figure to die for. It would seem that there shouldn't be any issue between these two about dating other people, but as soon as they embark on these new relationships, things start to get weird for these once good friends! It seems that everybody knows their relationship is so much more than friendship, except Ji Hwan and Dal Rae themselves! Will they figure out their own feelings in time, before it's too late?

Professional Review of "Almost Love DTS"


- This professional review refers to Almost Love Limited Edition DTS.
At first glance, Korean rom-com Almost Love looks like a sure-fire winner. It reunites the stars of the hit My Tutor Friend, one of whom - Kwon Sang Woo - has gone on to become a massive star since then. The film is well shot and filled with loopy energy. A string of fantastical set pieces are grounded by charismatic performances by the enormously likable leads. And, most importantly in a film like this, the leads have an obvious chemistry and clearly love working together. So why does it feel like less than it should have been?

Kwon Sang Woo stars as Lee Ji Hwan, a young man driven by only one thing: to become the greatest martial arts movie star since Jackie Chan. He trains in tae kwon do. He's working his way up the ladder with a local stunt crew. He even has his hair in a classic 70's Chan bowl cut. Lee's closest friend since childhood is Jin Dal Rae - played with verve by Kim Ha Neul - an aspiring actress with a serious problem: she is horribly self-conscious a... [Read more]

Actually quite good!Customer Review Rated 7 out of 10Monday, August 27, 2007
Reviewer: semester  (See all this customer reviews)

- This customer review refers to Almost Love (DVD) (Hong Kong Version)

Just like many other audiences, this movie looked attractive because I am totally in love with My Tutor Friend and longed to see KSW and KHN performed together again. However, high expectation always causes some problems. To some extent, I think this is in fact we audiences misleading ourselves by bias. Now I realized that it is much better to evaluate this movie on its own, without reference to My Tutor Friend which is a movie of a totally different kind.

I would first like to briefly mention that I had been seriously misled by the advertisement of this film in Hong Kong. Here this film was labeled “comedy”, which was totally wrong. I think those people who are here in the show business should really be more responsible and have respect to art works before they promote any of them.

The plot of this film is actually a sweet one. However, it could be better if the director had had paid more attention to the editing of the film. Many parts of the film, particularly many of the imaginations and some of the childhood memory parts are, in my opinion, not necessary. The film could be much better if those parts are eliminated and cut down to around 90 minutes.

KSW’s performance in this movie is again very good. Once again he proves that he can play well different character of very different personality. He is really a good actor. His appearance is OK to me and suits his role, though many audienance found it silly, especially his hairstyle.

KHN, on the other hand, lacked something in this movie. Though I still think she is a very good actress, I am a little bit disappointed. She could have given more liveliness to her role.

Gradually, I begin to like this movie more and more.

ok.. not greatCustomer Review Rated 7 out of 10Saturday, July 07, 2007
Reviewer: kdramafanatic  (See all this customer reviews)

- This customer review refers to Almost Love Limited Edition DTS

Despite all ravings about this movie, i was actually very disappointed. The love story wasn't captivating, the leads were not the ones i would've chosen, and kwon sang woo just had a horrible haircut that was ridiculous. i guess my taste is more of a growing love, rather than this story where old friends realize their love for each other. as a kwon sang woo fan i wouldn't even really recommend this, but for those who enjoyed my tutor friend, you may find this to be a good movie. 7/10

Almost Perfect But Not QuiteCustomer Review Rated 7 out of 10Friday, June 22, 2007
Reviewer: Rogue  (See all this customer reviews)

- This customer review refers to Almost Love

Ji Hwan and Dal Rae have been friends since childhood. And as is natural for two people who have been friends that long, there's an unexplained closeness and comfortableness between the two. It's the kind of intimacy and coziness that blind them to the truth - that the two of them are in love and must have been since childhood, a truth that is obvious to others except to the people that matter: Ji Hwan and Dal Rae. Their light bickering, which is but normal for friends, suddenly turn into nasty arguments when both decide to date other people. This conflict in their relationship make them evaluate why each is bothered by the other seeing someone else.

A tragedy strikes and Ji Hwan loses his leg. Distressed by this unfortunate accident, he disappears from home and cuts all communication with everyone he left behind, including Dal Rae. After a year of soul searching, so to speak, he comes home, bearing a screenplay he wrote. This screenplay falls into the hands of Dal Rae. Will this revelation of Ji Hwan's feelings now cost him their friendship?

This movie reunites Kwon Sang Woo and Kim Ha Neul, stars of my favorite movie, My Tutor Friend. Expectations are high, therefore, that this movie will equal, if not surpass, the former. I was a bit disappointed, though. It's a beautiful story in itself, and I find no fault in the actors, but overall, the movie came out rather short in delivering the goods. There was probably too much, or maybe too little, of everything that I don't quite know what to make of it.

The dynamic slapstick blended well with the trips down memory lane but it gave way much too early to the melodrama, which, in my honest opinion, need not have been there. Or maybe it should have been.

I really don't know what to say with this movie except that I feel it should be perfect, but there's a flaw somewhere, somehow.

7 kimchi dishes out of 10.
