Editorial Reviews

The film,"Ardor" is adapted from JEON Kyung-lin's best seller novel "The one exceptional day in my life". The novel depicts the life of an average woman overcoming her dull life through a captivating love affair. More than the story, the author's specialty of combining straightforward, subversive, and magical rhetorics makes the novel shine with rave reviews from readers and critics alike. Based on this distinguished novel, "Ardor"centers on emphatically expressing an illicit affair and the moment to moment changes the main characters must face. The film goes beyond the original with passionate emotions exploding on screen that raise the intensity of the story.

2.0 out of 5 stars Lost fans looking for Kim Yunjin love will be disappointed, June 21, 2010

This review is from: Ardor a.k.a. The Deep Love (Standard Edition) DVD (DVD)

This started out very promising with a scene where a husband's lover visits the married couple's home and announces her position with frightening authority--on Christmas day, no less. After that it just rolls along with violins, heavy sighs and a plot that takes too long to unfold. The couple move to a small town to try and start over. The wife is too broken to go along and begins an affair with a local womanizer. It's all about sex and forgetting what happened, but there's not enough substance to get the viewer caught up in the emotional goings on. Everything is predictable and thinly plotted. Kim Yun-jin (from Lost) gives a decent performance but the direction of the film is very weak.
