The Low-Down: Among the usual Korean rom-coms featuring young and attractive actors and actresses as the leads, Love, Again 두번할까요 turns to older (but still attractive) leads. And who would have thought that a divorce story could turn out to be quite an entertaining premise? Director Park returns with Lee Jong-hyeok for their third collaboration, along with two bigger names — Kwon Sang-woo and Lee Jeong-hyeon. Love, Again has some interesting messages but falls a little short in terms of plot development and execution.

The Story: A married couple Hyeon-woo (Kwon, The Accidental Detective 탐정: 더 비기닝 series) and Seon-yeong (Lee, Jeong-hyeon The Battleship Island 군함도) plans a divorce ceremony on a whim because of a series of conflicts, embarrassing themselves and ending the marriage on a bad note. When Seon-yeong starts dating Hyeon-woo’s old buddy, Sang-cheol (Lee Jong-hyeok), matters start to get complicated and awkward. The ex-spouses go through a journey of understanding their own feelings and slowly mature while getting into hilarious situations.
