My Dear Enemy (**3/4)

A woman spends the day hounding her ex-boyfriend as he drives around Seoul trying to round up the money he needs to repay what he owes her. The slightly comic drama has a nice, albeit frequently melancholy feel to it, but its episodic structure is a mixed bag. The boyfriend spends the movie bumming money off of other women, and some of these visits are more exciting than others. Meanwhile, the personalities—though only a little of the backstory—of the two characters emerge. Judicious trimming would have improved a decent concept.
