Time
Witness Time (if necessary), a film mercifully unencumbered by legitimate notions of taste, intelligence, or legitimacy. Ji-woo (Ha Jung-woo) has a jealous girlfriend (Park Ji-Yeon) spitting insults at whatever woman’s around, and, failing that, at Ji-woo himself; needless to say, he can only get it up when she tells him to think of someone else. At which point, she decides to become someone else (Seong Hyeon-a, to be exact) without telling him, and undergoes plastic surgery while he sleeps around with a number of the many beautiful girls date-raping him wherever he goes; but while she wants to preserve the relationship by changing herself, when she emerges six months later, it turns out that he hasn’t changed at all, that he’s still in love with the old girl she used to be.
At which point there’s still 40 minutes left, so what the hell, he decides to get the plastic surgery while she waits around for six months (after all the whole movie’s based on doubling, why not), since, after all, they have nothing better to do but change identities anyway; there is—with the exception of a few party scenes of drunken bros yelling with genuine curiosity, “Who wants to fuck these girls?” —almost no hint of the other parts of the past they’re discarding.
Luckily, his unannounced surgery arrives with the consolation twist that, since admirable women in movies aren’t ever as promiscuous as men, she’s only trying to sleep with dudes because she thinks they might be him; and of course the bit’s a nice little concoction of love and paranoia, in which, like a porno Ratatouille, anyone could turn out to be her true love. She just has to figure out who.
