Humor+Horror+Romance=

Original and interesting. Like L HH said, this film is one of a kind. However, there are so many stops, "Chilling Romance" never takes off and loses momentum.This film makes a brave attempt to mash difficult genres. The end result is a dish that is hard to swallow, but somewhat edible. I was not satisfied with "Chilling Romance," because the story was not engaging and progressed roughly. I want to blame someone whether it's the director, editor, screenwriter, or all three. The multi-talented actress Son Ye Jin saved this film from disaster. Always surprising her fans with new and unique roles.All in all, if you want try something new, give "Chilling Romance" a try.

Good Enough

Maybe I was expecting too much from Spellbound, as most of the reviews and comments about this movie were possitive. However, even though it was a decent movie, it lacked some intensity for me. Plus, the romance happened kind of fast, but the progress of it was good. I also enjoyed the performances, especially from the couple, who had chemistry. The ending was good too and the scary scenes were mild, so even I, who's a scary cat, had no problem watching this one. So, six out of ten.
