College Students in Love

This film essentially begins with two college students named "Kim Byeong-tae" (Mun-seob Yun) and "Kang Yeong-cheol" (Ha Jae-Young) presenting themselves before army doctors for a physical. Although Kim Byeong-tae passes his physical, Kang Yeong-cheol does not and the two go back to their college to continue their studies. While there, Kim Byeong-tae goes on a blind date and meets an attractive college student named "Oh Yeong-ja" (Yeong-ok Lee) which eventually results in a romantic relationship. The problem, however, is that Yeong-ja realizes that, upon graduation, Byeong-tae will be gone for 3 years while serving in the military and, for that reason, she wants to avoid any serious commitment to him. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this movie was filmed during a time when things were much stricter in South Korean society than they are now. Likewise, although I thought that this was an okay film, more or less, the comedy was difficult to fully appreciate because of the unique cultural differences. At least, that is how it seemed to me. Be that as it may, while I cannot honestly say that this was a great comedy by any means, it was still entertaining for the most part, and I have rated it accordingly. Average.
