SYNOPSIS:
 

Gu-chang is a timid guy still in college for 7 years, unemployed and dependent on his family. To top that off, Gu-chang has never had a girlfriend or even kissed a girl before. One day, Gu-chang meets Anni, a bubbly girl in the school and sparks fly instantly. One night out, just as things start to seem promising, Gu-chang sees Anni from a completely different point of view and realize that there is more to her than meets the eye.

MOVIE REVIEW:

Jeong Ryeo-won is the type of girl who is not exactly a striking beauty but has that sweetness aura that will make you embrace her as well. Playing the part of Yuri who developed a spilt personality after a trauma, she has finally debut with flying colours on the silver screen after her appearances in dramas such as “My Lovely Sam-Soon”.

Yuri or better known as Anni got to know a guy named Gu-Chan (the affable but questionably looking Bong Tae-gyu) after he accidentally picked up Anni’s wallet. Gu-Chan is a timid, loud-mouth guy who is relying on his divorced sister for a living and is still studying college after 7 years. Turns out he has never fallen in love his entire life too. So when he met the bubbly Anni, love undeniably blossom between the both of them.

With any typical romance comedies, the movie moves along with some comic moments between Anni and Gu-Chan until Anni becomes an entirely person overnight. Her personality turned violence and she calls herself Hanni.

Fortunately, “2 Faces of my Girlfriend” maintains the synergy set by the first act without injecting too much poignant and teary moments. A common flaw found in Korean productions. Other than a moving flashback, there are some cute CG rendering, short animation sequences in addition to the likeable pair up of Ryeo-won and Tae-gyu who basically shines every 117 minutes of the movie.

Despite being an easy rom-com date movie, it lies a far deeper meaningful message that is to really love a person is to set him or her go. Perhaps fate might already have someone for you in mind. Your very own lighthouse awaits you.

SPECIAL FEATURES :

This DVD comes with 2 trailers and a MTV. Ironically, the 5 minutes making of and 15 minutes interview segment do not come equipped with any subtitles. We can only guess that the cast and crew are very enthusiastic and pleased during the production process. There's also trailers of "Ah Long Pte Ltd", "Rule #1" and "Escape from Huang Shi"

AUDIO/VISUAL:

I have no complains for the visual and the Korean audio track. The lovey-dovey soundtrack has a soothing sweet feel to it.
