Watched #TheArtOfSeduction....A humorous comedy with a simple plot and practical jokes.... It's about experienced players who takes their game to each other. The game slowly turns into a competition and later on to love. The movie shows the commonly used techniques of getting someone of opposite sex in a comic manner. They keep it simple without spoiling the fun at any moment.... The movie is really good entertainment....The good thing about this one is that. They kept the perverted jokes and nudity out of it making it a family entertainment. There are not much family movies in this category....To sum up.... It's #worthWatching....

The male protagonist Min-jun, and the female protagonist Ji-won, are both manipulative, lying opportunists who use strangers for their own gains. Judging from the first few minutes of the film, I would hope that both of them get the lengthy jail sentences that they so richly deserve. Neither of them succeeds by merit, unless on counts their skills in identifying the weaknesses of their targets and exploiting those weaknesses. They are parasites who regularly commit felonies.In early part of the narrative, we see the depredations of the pair as they act separately on their marks. Eventually they meet one another. She likes to ram stopped cars with single drivers then victimize the person she hit. She pulls that on the male protagonist, and is surprised when he does not fall for her bovine scatology. They lie to each other, then lie some more, then lie some more. The music indicates that this is supposed to be humorous.As the story continues, they have to deal with their previous targets. They also get to like each other, even though they continue constructing plausible lies.Do the protagonists get together and stay together? Does one get the upper hand and crush the other? Stay tuned (if you can stand it) to find out.------Scores------Cinematography: 10/10 Excellent with very few exceptions.Sound: y/10 Moot, I suppose. The voiced Korean seemed quite soft. I had to trust the subtitles.Acting: 5/10 More like mugging. There must have been over 100 instances of 'oh, did that idiot believe me?'Screenplay: 5/10 It is a story of (ethically) ugly people doing ugly things to people whom they hold in contempt. When the protagonists get to know one another, they sharpen each other; that is, improve their 'A' game. There is neither redemption nor punishment in this collection of vignettes about con artists.

With a story and screenplay that seems to have been written by a high schooler, 'The Art of Seduction' fails to deliver the romantic, sophisticated experience it tries to bill itself as. The two main characters have the potential to be interesting - both male and female lead are "swinging singles (or in the female lead's case, engaged)", but 'The Art of Seduction' doesn't even try. Shirking from a frank examination of these two characters' personalities, 'The Art of Seduction' eschews anything of substance for a basis of thin, lean stereotype. 'The Art of Seduction' is insulting - insulting to its characters, insulting to men and women, and insulting to its audiences' expectations. It takes the awful beautiful people we all know and plays out their painful interactions while expecting us to idolize them. Ji-wan is an immature, spoiled, manipulative bitch. The viewer is expected to like and forgive her flaws because she's pretty. Min-jun, well, he's exactly the same. Neither are nice people. The "humour" in this film primarily revolve around Ji-wan and Min-jun's outlandish attempts at outdoing each other in the honourable art of lying and manipulation. No character development occurs, and we never learn why Ji-wan and Min-jun are like this. We are simply expected to take them as they are, and not ask questions - they're cute!, and that's all that matters. The copious references to the celebrity of the main actors in azn cinema scenester's reviews may tip you off to 'Art of Seduction's shallowness. If you're still in high school, you liked Grease, or you are a yellow fever victim, you may like this movie.Despite its "Romance" tag, this is not a very good date movie.

Actually, unlike other people, I knew that this movie was going to be good. For one, I have yet to see Son Ye Jin play any "rambunctous" character. She's always been the quiet, pretty, and others like to say "damsel-in-distress". And watching this, it really confirmed that Son can play any role, whatever the character. She truly is amazing in this movie.Il Gook is also very good playing a player father's son. It good to see him in a romantic comedy too. These two put together makes a great film. There are soo many funny scenes and overall is worth watching twice.
