“I really enjoyed this Korean film u0026quot;Rules of Dating.u0026quot; You would think this is a romantic comedy from the poster, not quite. Itu0026#39;s very hard to say what it is. Itu0026#39;s murky, funny, weird, blunt, twisted, and fun. The first line of the film is: u0026quot;Are you wet?u0026quot; the handsome school teacher Lee asked the newly arrived student teacher Choi. No, they are not in the rain, they are sitting on a bench on campus in the beautiful fall weather. Lee is hitting on Choi as soon as he sees her, while both of them have a lover of their own. Nevertheless, the flirtation goes up and down, never a quiet moment.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie is very frank about flirting, sex, dating, and may I say, u0026quot;sexual harassment?u0026quot; Wait, thatu0026#39;s a term only used in America. I think the American audience will be appalled by Leeu0026#39;s behavior, but the movie can get away with it because itu0026#39;s a Korean film and set in Korea.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you enjoyed u0026quot;My Sassy Girl,u0026quot; this will be a similar love hate drama, only smarter. The film dances around the true feeling of these characters and plays the mind of its audience. Just when I think they are in love, the film let Lee and Choi show me that they are just flirting. When I think they are just having some fun, they start to show me that they are in love. Itu0026#39;s almost like I am dating somebody but I can never figure out what my date is really thinking. Of course, this is not a Kim Ki-duku0026#39;s film, so I was hoping some more twists and turns (with my twisted mind) to happen while… oh well, I still love this film.”
