"Marriage" takes place in modern-day Korea and follows two people as they fall in love but for one reason and another refuse to wed each other for various reasons. The film is full of the confusion that can be felt by couples around the world who are afraid of commitment, afraid of settling down, afraid they won't be happy forever. I fell in love with the characters and all their problems and fears. One can understand how the couple in this film wants everything, hate them for trying to make it so, and yet envy them for trying. At the end of the film I was left shaking my head thinking that indeed marriage IS a crazy thing.

I truly enjoyed this movie. It is NOT A COMEDY! Let me repeat! This movie is NOT A COMEDY! It's a guy who's afraid of committing, proccupied with his inability to support a wife, and untrusting of women in general.

What makes the movie great is the fact that it rises above cliches & superficial "goody-too-shoes" hollywood hype. Rather, the story holds true to how modern society causes tremendous insecurities in couples. The female character marries a doctor in spite of the fact that she wants to be with the part-time literature professor. But this idiot prof doesn't feel that he's "worthy." Sound familiar?

I would encourage couples to check this movie out. And after it finishes, talk about their own situation. If you want tripe, go rent some supercificial hollywood hogwash. If you want substance, check this flik out.

The acting and dialogue are good, but this movie is so depressing. Also the motivations behind the characters' self-destructive actions could have been explained better.

I purchased the movie after seeing it because I found it to be quite interesting and would like to view it again. It is definitely thought provoking.

I agree with what Nightwater has commented, but I think this movie is quite sad. It reminds us to take that risk called love. The main female character in this movie would have married this man, but eventhough he thought so much about her, he used every excuse not to commit. Sounds like many young men in our day today. Given everything freely but chosing not to love...very sad.
