Watch Romance of Their Own For Free

You won't be disappointed!

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Though the concept is more suitable for a drama, the actors have well acted in their roles. The story is amazing but way too long for a movie. Still many people might still think this story to be a little 90s type. But for me this story works. Though I still think that the movie could have been presented in a different yet amazing way. I would rate this movie a 6 & because of its characters being enacted well. Still the movie can go for a remake with new actors and a new script in hand. Also the fighting scenes were fine which needed a little more working. But the actors were cute and suited the characters amazingly. The dialogues were above average and locations are fine. Still it feels like the movie is incomplete.

This movie might have worked as a 12 or even 6 episode drama. But as a movie, it just falls flat with no substance. It's just a really cheesy and cliché love triangle flick. Just about everything about this flick is so darn pretentious and sappy, I got tired of it early on. Maybe it might have worked for the early or even late 90's maybe. But for a movie that came out in 2004, it's pretty bad. The plot is about two popular guys in high school liking one mundane and annoying girl that can't make up her mind. And just goes back and forth and back and forth. Oh and these pretty boys knows how to fight...What a shocker. It's like they came up with bunch of cliché scenarios but didn't know how to proficiently connect it all into a 2 hour movie. Girls might dig this flick because it has Kang Dong-Won in it with a pointless scene with him running while holding the hand of a girl in the rain. Which is one of his trademark scenes in his career, but when it comes to the story for that scene it goes nowhere. I was like, so what was the point of that? Overall, it might be a passable one watch deal but when it even comes to sappy romance movies, this one falls short.4/10

I was geared up to not like this movie, and the first 10 minutes or so did nothing to allay my fears. It starts off with 2 high school gangs squaring off against each other with bad kung-fu. A scenario found in countless other Korean films. Ho-hum. Add the fact that the story was written by the same guy who wrote "He Was Cool" (which was barely passable) and, well, I thought I was in for a nondescript 2 hours.But don't give up so quickly! "A Romance of Their Own" was directed by Tae-gyun Kim, who also did "Volcano High" (which I thought was loads of fun). Anyway, "Romance of Their Own" soon takes a turn much for the better. A high school girl, just having moved to Seoul, finds herself in the middle of attention from two prospective suitors. Each guy has his own merit, and it is not clear which one (if either) would be the right pick.What follows is not your usual teen love triangle. The emotions are complex, and while you may not agree with certain choices or actions as the film develops, you can certainly understand why the characters make them.The movie asks questions of the characters and the audience. Who does one choose? At what point is one obligated to even make a choice (and is it unfair to one if it seems he is being strung along)? After you (or your heart) has made a choice, how do you react (and how *should* you react) when new information comes up that sheds new light on the situation? There is one scene, near the end, that is very subtle but perfectly captures what I think would be a real-life reaction instead of over-the-top "movie reaction." The subtlety is in a character in the background of the scene. Recent events and revelations have left him confused and emotionally overwhelmed. Basically, he doesn't know what to make of things. Instead of having him "act out" something, or look all gape-mouthed dumbstruck, he just stares off at some fixed point unable to react or say anything at all. It's like someone just pulled the plug on him. His reaction rang true to me and I appreciated the scene.Like most Korean films, there is a mix of action, bravado, slapstick, and melodrama. Korean films often take abrupt turns (see, "Sex Is Zero" for a great example), which can be quite a shock for the uninitiated. Go ahead and initiate yourself with this one. Like it, love it, or hate it, I think most viewers will be able to relate to and appreciate the characters' actions and reactions.

So at first it seems like pretty classic love triangle with one girl and two guys both gang leaders from their 2 schools. There is some fighting in the movie involving these two bad asses which is pretty cool, no wire fu here. Some of the characters left me in disbelief, I couldn't really understand the reason and lack of thinking displayed by some of the characters. Insecurities and a lack of trust plague the characters and then the noble self sacrifice comes into play a lot.I'm not a fan of any of the characters cause of their insecurities. Also I was dumbfounded as to how the main female character became the center for everyone's infatuation, I didn't see any qualities that would leap out and snag a guy in one meeting. And as for the male characters...I don't think liking your (__this would be a spoiler__) in that way would fly too well in America.The movie as a whole was okay. It delivered to its audience, if you wanted action, drama, and romance wrapped into one movie, here it is. 5/10 I think one of the comments on here compared it to My tutor friend or 100 days with Mr. Arrogant, and My Sassy girl. This is a different kind of genre, I didn't find them to really be in the same category, the other movies were funny. This one had much more action and drama than comedy and romance.
