I Like It Hot
Ah-mi has been a freelance screenwriter for 2 years, but things don’t seem to work out for her. She lives with her bigger sister, Young-mi, because she can’t afford to live on her own. Ah-mi dreams of success and independence, but these seem far-off. She has a boyfriend named Won-suk, a member of an unsuccessful rock band, who is mostly broke. Then one day, she goes out on a blind date and a new guy, Seung-won, enters her life. A guy different from her boyfriend, Won-suk. While this is going on, Young-mi, the collected and sexy interior designer, meets an actor named Kyoung-soo. She gets a good feeling for the guy, but even her confident self gets jumbled up about love when she learns she has menopause. There is also Young-mi’s daughter, Kang-ae. She is a hard-headed high school student, whose current task in life is to figure out a way to get a kiss from her boyfriend, Ho-jae. Kang-ae’s best friend, Mi-ran, a self-proclaimed dating expert, coaches Kang-ae about love. Mi-ran helps Kang-ae plan a strategy for her first kiss, but their scheme goes haywire, and Kang-ae’s first kiss ends up being with Mi-ran. Although different in age, attitude about life, and dating preferences, the three women each learn to find their own unique way to happiness.

This was one of the most awkwardest movies I've ever watched.. Sohee's acting is...Kimbum is such a cutie.

I enjoyed bits and parts of it, but overall, it's quite a bit disjointed. It tells the story of three women, two adult sisters and the daughter of the older sister, more specifically the ups and downs of their love lives. Mostly, it tries too hard to be "indie sophisticated". Overall, I don't think it works. Also, on the version I watched, the subtitling was horrid. For some parts of the dialogue, the translation had virtually nothing to do with the Korean dialogue.
