A Bad turn in Love: Madeleine

I have to say that this film sucks! I am totally unimpressed with this film that I deem it unworthy to watch ever again.


Ji-suk (Zo In-sung) is a Korean Language & Literature major who dreams of becoming a writer, and delivers newspapers part-time. When he goes to a hair salon to have his long hair cut, a charming woman calls him by name. She is none other than Hee-jin, his classmate in junior high school. Dreaming of becoming a hair designer, Hee-jin is a senior hair designer at the salon despite her young age. They are both drawn to each other, Ji-suk to Hee-jin's beauty and Hee-jin to Ji-suk's purity. Their paths cross by chance a few more times and the two grow closer. Finally, Hee-jin suggests a 'one month romance.' "Neither one of us can say 'Let's break up' before the month is up! After a month, we part ways grandly! What do you think? Fun, huh?" Ji-suk is caught off guard. Seeing this, Hee-jin smiles at him sweetly...
Ji-suk who ponders over everything seriously. Hee-jin who is filled with cheerful playfulness. They have 0% in common but together, they learn of a new world unfamiliar to them. Their romance is more splendid than they expected. But one day, Ji-suk's first love, Sung-hae, shows up. Majoring in film, Sung-hae is the lead singer of a band and very cool. Hee-jin gets jealous over Sung-hae and starts to fight with Ji-suk. It is the first time they argue since their month of romance began. And to make matters worse, Hee-jin is faced with an enormous decision...


I admit that I'm a romantic at heart, I love romance, but this film made me want to quit watching it. There was really nothing here and I wish that it was never made.

There are a lot of cute moments, but I have a problem with the storyline. How long ago did she break up with her boyfriend before moving on to the male lead? It seemed like a while, then about halfway through their month agreement she finds out she's pregnant by her ex-boyfriend (she didn't sleep with the male lead yet). SO I wondering how she didn't know she was pregnant. There's this thing called a period, I hear most girls have it at her age. So is she that easy of a girl to get with a guy right after she broke up with her ex-boyfriend?
this was a major flaw for me that just irked me to no end.

JO In Sung's acting sucked big time while Shin Min-a was her wonderful self. I feel like she is typecasted to this kind of role. I like Kim So-ro's cameo in this film, I enjoy him as an actor.
