[Rating - KMovie] A Good Day to Have An Affair

Story:
Interest: 2
(2 = I loved the story very much;
1 = The story was okay;
0 = The story didn't make any sense)
Coherence: 1
(2 = Perfectly crafted story, no missing links, well-thought out, whoever wrote this is a genius;
1 = The story seems to have no flaws but it isn't a very challenging story to write, it was coherent but the story wasn't mind-blowing;
0 = Some scenes strayed too far away from the plot, not properly concluded)

Movie:
Execution: 2
(2 = The director did a magnificent job, the movie was so clean and it felt so real;
1.5 = Above average but not totally impressive;
1 = Not bad, average;
0 = Did the director have such a low standard?, boring, should've read the book/script instead)
Effect: 1
(2 = Brought out all the right emotions from me (cry, laugh, get angry, cringe... etc), left me in awe;
1 = Almost cried, almost laughed, almost got angry.
0 = It didn't affect me at all.)
Acting: 2
(2 = The actors were completely lost in their characters, they gave me goosebumps;
1 = The actors were good but the roles weren't really challenging;
0 = The lead actors need to attend more acting workshops)
Casting: 2
(2 = It was a cast made in heaven, the acting and the faces were perfect for the roles;
1 = The actors didn't make much impression;
0 = They should have given the role to other/better actors)
Compactness: 2
(2 = Didn't blink even once afraid to miss a thing, enjoyed every second of the movie;
1 = Skipped some parts but didn't blink on some, enjoyed just half of the movie;
0 = Skipped more than watched, didn't enjoy the movie)
Cinematography: 1
(2 = Blew me away, creatively done;
1 = Just okay, nothing special;
0 = Did they even have budget for this movie?)
Scoring: 1.5
(2 = Helped in bringing out the viewer's emotions and I loved the soundtrack;
1.5 = The scoring matched the scenes or there's at least one song that I loved;
1 = At least the movie had a soundtrack;
0 = I don't remember if it had one)

Recommend? 1
(2 = You'll miss half of your life if you don't watch this;
1 = If you like the genre, watch it;
0 = Watch it only if you want to watch a Japanese movie and you've ran out of good movies to watch)

- The thing that stood out for me in this film is the chemistry of Kim Hye-su and Lee Min-ki. Despite their 15-year age gap, I felt the chemistry between their characters. The cast was made in heaven. They all fit their characters perfectly, which made the movie feel so real like it was happening right in front of my eyes.
- I think that it's a very good film but I can't recommend it to everyone because some scenes are not suitable for very young audiences (parental guidance is advised, lol). It has some uncensored nudity and sex scenes not appropriate for the youngsters. But the story's good, nonetheless. It is fast-paced, compact, relevant, and fun to watch.

Total Rating: 3.9/5
