Netflix's latest South Korean import tells the tale of a female boss and her underling who enter into a BDSM relationship—only to have their feelings get in the way
. Jauntily directed by Park Hyun-jin, it’s the story of a stern professional, her docile new coworker, and the unique relationship they develop.
The idea that a meek man like Ji-hoo would ship his private sexual playthings to his place of employment is laughably implausible, albeit in keeping with’ disregard for logical plotting. At various points, Park’s script introduces characters without properly identifying them, and has events take random, barely explained left turns. Were the film not so lively and deliberately cartoonish, such clunkiness might rankle more.
Before long, Ji-hoo and Ji-woo—whose names are similar because they’re two sides of the same coin—are clumsily if earnestly agreeing to enter into a BDSM arrangement, replete with a contract that stipulates that Ji-woo will be the dominant, and Ji-hoo the submissive, for three months. Consequently, the two cast aside conventional notions of femininity and masculinity to explore a new frontier of risqué pleasure.
Thus begins a corny romance in which Ji-woo embraces her inner boss through kinkiness that takes place in a variety of secluded rooms drenched in blue and red light. Park stages these centerpiece sequences as if they were oh-so-naughty, but in truth, there’s scant sadomasochistic energy, no nudity, and very little boundary-pushing perversion to be found here.is a mainstream-courting training-wheels version of a taboo sex romp, its outrageousness conceived in the most milquetoast terms possible.
Despite embodying characters fashioned in only two dimensions, Seohyun and Jun make for an engaging pair, and help keep the atmosphere light and frothy throughout. The result is a romantic comedy that’ll appeal to a wide streaming audience—even if, in the end, it’s far too conservative and corny to arouse anyone’s libido.
