The Korean movie “Addicted” is another movie that was recommended to me recently that was worth checking out. I actually ordered off of Amazon along with “Mother” and the “The Good, the Bad, & the Weird”. Out of the three movies this was definitely my least favorite, but it doesn’t mean it was a bad movie.

“Addicted” was released on DVD in 2002 and stars Lee Byung Hun as a race car driver that gets in horrible race car accident at the same time that his brother is involved in a fatal car accident on his way to the race track to see his race. Upon awaking from a coma Lee’s character Dae-Jin begins to act like his brother. His brother’s wife Eun-Su played by the beautiful Lee Mi-yeon is taken a back by Dae-jin’s behavior. Over the course of the movie Eun-su slowly begins to believe that by some miracle that her husband’s personality was some how put into Dae-jin’s body. They begin to live their lives as husband and wife again and try to live happily ever after or do they? You will have to see the movie to find out, but like a lot of Korean movie expected the unexpected when it comes to endings.

Overall though it is a good movie that started off fast, slowed down in the middle, and then finished fast. The acting I thought was quite good, Lee Mi-yeon provides plenty of eye candy for the guys out there and I’m sure all you women out there will like seeing Lee Byung-hun with his shirt off. So there is plenty to like about the movie though I would consider this more of rental than a keeper worth buying.
