SYNOPSIS: Even though he always gets slapped every time he toys with his girlfriend's feelings, Ji-hoon seems to have more tricks prepared under his sleeves to win more hearts. But his luck ended when he got involved in an internet scandal with his ex girlfriend, Hee-won. Terrified of what it might bring to her career, Hee-won convinced Ji-hoon to find the person behind it. As a consequence, they have to relive their dating memories to trace down when and where it could have happened.

REVIEWS: Did I like it? So-so… Actually, I never imagined Yeon Jeong-hoon would ever star in this type of movie. Based on his performance in Sad Love Story and Daddy Long Legs (which are both my favorites), this is way out of his league (in my opinion, anyways) There's no depth in the story. No catchy phrases. No twist. Very predictable. Even the chemistry, there's no appeal. I kept on telling myself that maybe it would get better. Boy, am I wrong.

But in fairness, there are some scenes that are funny. Maybe because I get carried away with Jeong-hoon's expressions when he teases Park Jin-hee's. Nothing more than that. Too harsh? Just disappointed.
