A former couple is reunited for a day under less than ideal circumstances in this character-driven comedy-drama from South Korean writer and director Lee Yoon-ki. Byeong-woon (Ha Jeong-woo) is enjoyin...( read more  read more... )g an afternoon betting on the ponies at the racetrack when he's confronted by his former girlfriend Heui-su (Jeon Do-yeon). While Heui-su seems cool and confident on the surface, it becomes clear that she wants the 3.5 million won Byeong-woon borrowed from her while they were together, and she needs it now. Byeong-woon doesn't have that kind of cash on him, so they drive to the house of a woman he knows who is able to front him part of the money. Heui-su is grateful, but she makes it clear that only the full amount will do, and she and her former beau spend the rest of the day driving around town as Byeong-woon visits one friend after another (ranging from another one-time girlfriend to a handful of bikers) and tries to come up with some way to raise the cash. Meotjin Haru (aka My Dear Enemy) was an official selection at the 2008 Pusan Film Festival.~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

    This film belongs to Jung-woo Ha. He is engaging and funny, one of those guys who knows how to spin even the worst of interactions into something that makes him seem likeable.

    I saw another movie poster which is not here on Flixster which looked better and more interesting. My Dear Enemy sounds like a perfect name of a romantic comedy but this wasn't quite like I had imagined or hoped (My Sassy Girl-style). First the movie seemed boring and it didn't h...( read more)ave any handsome actors or beautiful actresses but suddenly I got used to it and the strange story became interesting, captivating. A woman goes to find her ex-boyfriend because he had borrowed some money and hasn't payed his debt back. The ex-boyfriend doesn't have money so she has to follow him when he goes to ask money from female friends he knows. He seems like a happy, funny and warmhearted man even though he is jobless and homeless. The ex-lovers drive around Seoul and along the way the woman remembers their times together. The end wasn't so clear to me. This seems like an indie movie. It's watchable and ok.
