In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Five omnibus style drama about sexually themed stories. Each of the stories are well conceived, and enjoyable to watch. Many of the actors are good looking, and adds to the story. They are erotic stories, but is not just sexploitation, or excuse to put sexual scenes on the screen. In other words, there's good story to go with the visuals. I'm sure each viewer will have their own favorite story, but I liked "His Concern", "33rd man", and "Believe in the Moment".Each of the stories are shot beautifully, and the presentation was well thought out. What adds more to the story is the attractiveness of the stars. Who could resist such temptations ? So while looking ordinary, each story has an element in them that makes us wish that it was our story.The producers, and the director did a superb job, of putting subtle eroticism into the story. This is one of the better erotic drama from Korea, and is recommended for viewing.7.5/10

When watching the first scene I thought it would be a interesting film and to some degree, it's pretty intriguing and had a good start. The movie has 5 different stories but they all have to do with something erotic, some maybe more intriguing than others. So basically it's a anthology film that is mainly centered on the theme of "Eros", even if the characters in each segments aren't really connected. Although the movie can be a bit awkward at times, it also doves into the human psychology. Since some stories are more interesting and intriguing than others and it really isn't a artsy film either although it seems to try, overall it just wasn't that great, but ain't terrible either.5/10
