Seducing Mr. Perfect Review: A funny and well made movie
I wanted to watch something interesting, I'm tired of the hustle and bustle of the day, and I don't want to watch the dramas because they have 16 or 20 chapters, so I'm looking on a site for some testimonials and recommendations and I read about Seducing Mr. Perfect.
As I delved into the storyline, it felt like stepping into a classic romance novel. The tall, brooding boss, an expert in love, and the cheerful yet inexperienced secretary set the stage for a familiar boss-secretary dynamic. Despite this well-known trope, the movie's charm is mesmerizing, continuously captivating the audience. With delightful leads and skillful direction, the film offers a perfect blend of charm, sensuality, and entertainment, keeping viewers engaged throughout.
The narrative kicks off with Min-joon (played by Uhm Jung Hwa), a staunch believer in true love who, despite enduring repeated heartbreaks, remains steadfast in her commitment to relationships. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she encounters Robin Heiden (portrayed by Daniel Henney), her new boss, whose contrasting views on love make him an intriguing guide on the subject. As their bond deepens, the differing perspectives lead to conflicts—a crucial element for tension-building in most narratives—before they navigate challenges and find their way to a happy ending.
The film's primary allure revolves around Daniel Henney's captivating presence. His striking appearance and charm are absolutely mesmerizing, giving his character a tailor-made feel. Despite restrained emotions, Uhm Jung Hwa's vibrant performance skillfully balances this aspect, resulting in delightful on-screen chemistry. Throughout, the movie maintains a light and enjoyable tone, offering numerous adorable and romantic moments. While I didn't form a deep connection with the characters, their charming personas made them quite likable. Notably, the film's unique use of English by Daniel Henney and Korean by Uhm Jung Hwa seamlessly blends, adding an interesting dynamic without feeling out of place.
The Positives:
"Seducing Mr. Perfect" boasts a singular allure—the captivating beauty of its lead actors. Yan Zhenghua exudes charm and sexiness, while Daniel is remarkably handsome.
The Drawbacks:
The movie serves as a simple, unpretentious comedy to fill idle moments. It lacks a substantial script, eschews complexity or brilliance, and doesn't invest much in dialogues and plot development.
Score for Seducing Mr. Perfect:
It falls somewhere in the middle – neither good nor bad. Whether you watch it or not, it doesn't make much of a difference.
