Valentine's Day surprise for Like for Likes 좋아해줘 movie.

Viewers in South Korea were treated with Valentine's Day movie especially it was released in the cinemas nationwide for the movie  좋아해줘 (Like for Likes). After all it's meant to be a comedy-romantic film. 

Starring big stars such as Lee Mi Yeon, Yoo Ah In, Choi Ji Woo, Kim Ju Hyuk, Kang Ha Neul and Lee Seom. I mean who wouldn't want to watch this entertaining light comedy glossy movie in the cinemas...The heart-warming comedy with 3 couples.



Couple one: LeeYoo couple (Lee Mi Yeon and Yoo Ah In) is definitely funny in terms of a wide age gap between the two of them. He is the arrogant Hallyu star No Jin Woo who started off bad terms with the top scriptwriter Jo Kyung Ah. Kyung Ah being the older heroine battles with his childish antics. His ways of getting back to her annoys her and seems a bit of crack in winning her trust so he does it through social media- Facebook being the main platform. And of course Jin Woo is trying to find out the son they both had after the fling they had years ago! 


Couple 2: HyukWoo couple (Kim Ju Hyuk and Choi Ji Woo) provides a lot of comic relief. One is a pretty hapless air stewardess Joo Ran and another is a hopeless romantic chef Sung Chan. The two bickers non stop when they have to move into a house and stay as room mates. He helps her post all her photos on social media gaining attention from the guys but instead he falls for his new partner. These two seems to fit well for each other as their age is perfect for each other. After all Ju Hyuk kept commenting Ji Woo is pretty even in all press conferences and media.

As the last Couple 3: KangSeom couple (Kang Ha Neul and Lee Seom) is a pure innocent relationship between an inspiring songwriter Su Ho who falls for the cheeky PD Na Yun. 
The two are sweet and what we do not know is the dark secret Su Ho keeps from her- he is slowly losing his hearing. Oh dear! Poor fella...he's such a cutie. Will he suffer a heartbreak if he tells his new girlfriend that he is turning deaf? 

Spoiler: Be alert of this- it is shown a missing 8 year old kid travelling to Seoul Incheon Airport by his own- ah...dun dun! Is that Lee-Yoo couple's little son? 


To be honest, newcomer Lee Seom doesn't seem to provide that much sweetness to my liking in Couple 3. I felt other actress who can provide chemistry with Kang Ha Neul will definitely make the audience smile to the face. At times Lee Mi Yeon looks pretty in the promotion poster (due to make up and photo shop!)-- she looks younger and prettier- but during press con she looked rather old like a typical big Noona especially paired with the boyish  Yoo Ah In.

I think Hyuk-Woo couple are the best fit of all...their acts are funnier and cracks everyone up. Knowing Ju Hyuk was in variety programs, he's definitely my favorite. But I still adore the other 2 guys in this movie dearly....


Yoo Ah In being the goof of all during press conference gives perfect fan services and even surprises everyone with kissing the hand of his partner. When emcee Park Kyung Lim asked Ju Hyuk to do it, he felt embarrassed and couldn't reenact the scene. An entertainment host for the movie premiere spontaneously tries out the famous line Ah In has delivered in the movie Veteran "어이가없네..." for his tenacious role Jo Tae Oh. However Ah In just shuts him down stating it's already year 2016...means Veteran is over and now they are promoting Like for Likes. 


Everyone laughs but Mi Yeon tells him off to be polite to the host - that's because he acted so well and his lines in the movie were remembered- should be thankful. He nods politely and tells everyone that's where the gap holds. A senior telling off a junior for his ways. Ha ha! 

This movie is definitely scored a tick for LIKE from me. Will you like Like for Likes?
Please do support this movie since the cast has done a great job. Kudos to the PD too!
