A good attempt ... But sadly not executed
Okay so if this was an attempt to try and do a BDSM movie, or recreate 50 Shades then this movie was a complete fail!!The only reason I am giving this 6 star is for the attempt and the funny moments that were in this movie, but either than that it was really very disappointing to out right boring.
Firstly - I think the writers should have done an in-depth search on BDSM.
Secondly - The main leads did not suit each other one bit, they were both so stiff and not even well matched to say the least, the one pro on this, is that at least the female lead was a dominant, but again she did not suit this part and definitely did not come across as a dominant at all.
Thirdly - the whole DS relationship was so off track that you could not feel or even excited trying to watch it, I was really disappointed. They had right the name, for the movie but it just was not executed properly.
Now I am not sure if this taboo in Korea, considering that there are some really good BL coming from, but in all honestly if they are going to do BDSM they need to get the story, as well proper characters, to play these kind of roles (more like the couple from nevertheless)
The only other good thing of this movie, I guess you could say is the introduction to this lifestyle and that is portraying a male submissive as pathetic, but that it was not the case in the slightest. it did show by putting up definitions and explanations of terms on screen to make it easier to understand, but again it was not executed in the right, I think the writers/producers should have used 50 shades as a basis to understanding the lifestyle.
Overall: For me this movie was a bit of disappointed, but it in the same token it was an okay attempt to BDSM lifestyle.

Happy ending ?
this movie is acting really good but I didn’t expect it to be like this. ??It’s actually very into detail and i actually felt bad for the boy ML cause of his ex dumping him like that ?? wanted to be treated like that is kinda weird but you do you I guess.. it was good but at the same time it was very corny and cringy bru ??. I LOST IT WHEN HE STARTED BARKING. ??I’d still recommend people to watch its tho cause it’s not bad at all?? but the barking REALLY? ? if you want to watch a movie and have different emotions this is the one.. I felt cringed, laugher, sadness, and happiness ?go watch it!!!??Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Did not like the pace and story too shallow
The theme is interesting! I have always liked to learn more about different ways of feeling pleasure. The world is an amazing place with lots of different people! But ..STORY - too simple for me, did not catch me. It could develop better. Side story was almost inexistent and it might be interesting.
CAST - I don't know any of the actors. ML was good. FL was not as good.
MUSIC - do not recall any. A no for me.
REWATCH - will not rewatch because I did not like it very much. There are better movies with this theme.
OVERALL - I was not disappointed to watch this, but just to pass time.

That fine line between pleasure and pain....
I am very impressed how well the story is taking us, the viewers, into one of hundreds different BDSM's reality..they have portrayed our main characters, 2 adults willing to explore their sensations in whichever way makes them feel happy; their relationship is very healthy and on the "light" side of many different BDSM practices. Seen by ignorant others as "perverts", the movie cleverly shows us who the real "Perverts" are, and in comparison, when looking at the two leads, you are just left smiling at the thought of them playing with a collar...
enjoy the view..

Funny, sweet and even a little cute - it is a very good movie. I'm also very impressed by the two main characters. I'm typically weary of kpop idols in dramas, and this one made me extra nervous as it had two of them in the main roles. But they are very good. I'm a fan of Seo Hyun musically, but I've never watched her in anything. I was so happily surprised.
This movie was very endearing with a good message at its heart. I'm such a sucker for a good romantic comedy and this satisfied. Highly recommended.

Foreplay, mostly.
Plot: A competent office lady accidentally discovered a BDSM item of her new officemate. It revolves around the introduction of BDSM and the new guy's life.Acting: Passable acting from all the cast.
Music: Nothing exactly memorable but appropriate for the movie/scenes.
Re-watch Value: Will not re-watch this one but it's a nice movie to watch on a super boring day.
Overall: I felt like the entire movie was a foreplay before the good stuff happened. It was fast paced with a few chuckles injected. Light movie with a brief information on how BDSM works for newbies or interested with erotica. 6.5 - 7 stars

I loved this movie! I have to say I didn't know much about BDSM before I started watching it, just the regular things that are pretty much well known among the public. And this movie was a great introduction to that topic! I would like to praise the actors for doing a really great job and the filming crew for portraying BDSM in a positive light since it's really nothing to be ashamed off as long as all the parties involved consented to it. It was very interesting to see their master and "slave" relationship develop, especially the contract. It also surprised me that at first it didn't have to do much with sexual stuff, it was purely about the dominance and submission.
And wow, we got the reversed roles with the woman being the dominant one and the man the submissive one! That was a really fresh approach and probably one of the main reasons why I liked the movie a lot. And I liked how their relationship developed between the two of them.

very informative. must watch for newbies. might feel explicit in the start but is very good. even the acting is on point. the whole movie is on next level and i really recommend it to others. this movie is not stereotypical and breaks barrier of the k-drama industry. Jung Ji Hoo is a competent and popular high-flying employee at work but one day this image threatens to fall apart when a fellow co-worker, Jung Ji Woo, mistakenly receives a package belonging to him and opens it to find a large dog-collar and its accompanying leash inside. What follows is a light-hearted introduction to a BDSM relationship between the two.

definitely unexpected
Finding the right words to review this movie is a challenge. While doing homework with a friend, we casually chose it as background noise and ended up fully engaged. It defied my expectations; what seemed like a lighthearted romcom turned out to be surprisingly bold and humorous. Although some moments made me cringe, the overall humor and unexpected twists made it an enjoyable watch. It's like a more amusing, laid-back version of Fifty Shades of Grey in the romcom genre. Definitely worth a watch!Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Love the chemistry
I like the movie. I just wish there were more romantic scenes between them. Romantic relationship scenes. But omg. The way he ate those treats in her hands while being tied was hot AF! And so on??.They're so cute ngl!
This is prob my first time seeing a Korean actor getting tied up. If you have a Korean drama similar to this... Please recommend me some? I love romantic movies and dramas! Especially with comedies and jealous moments hehe.
Totally recommend watching it if you are craving a rom-com that includes consensual play??

One of the best intimacy in any Korean movie ever
Strikingly hilarious right from the start till the end, and the great chemistry between Seohyun and Lee Junyoung, it has so much warmth in them and they're totally immerse with each other's acting, all of the scenes are also shot with really delicate touches like the color tone. The flow of the story works practically well which is relevant to the reality, peaked with an epic ending that's very lovely to see. Even without being explicitly sexual, the movie is able to achieve one of the best intimacy in any Korean movie ever.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Fun
I initially promised myself I wouldn't watch this, but I feel great now that I did.My problem with movies or TV series that involve such controversial topics is that they are almost always bad-written and involve gratuitous sex. What was great about "Love and Leashes" was that the film cares more about the psychological journey of these characters than the rest of its genre. The dynamics are important. The characters discover stuff and discover themselves. Jiwoo may not be the most proactive heroine in the first 15 minutes, but once she decides to experiment with her newly-discovered interest, she's actually pretty cool to watch. And Jihoo, well if that ain't some good internal conflict, I don't know what it is. It was cute how he tries to balance the different sides of himself.
If there is one thing that bothered me, it was the fact that the plot was pretty basic. I could tell things ahead. The ending at the office didn't seem earned, but I can overlook that. My experience watching this wasn't affected.
I do believe there are some errors in the writing of the movie, but I am a slut for fun and enjoyable stuff, be it a movie or a K-drama or a book. Not the mot professional review I guess. Anyway, do I recommend this movie? Only to those that aren't prejudiced against the subject. Would I rewatch this movie? Maybe. I wouldn't rule out the possibility. I can see myself bored one evening and deciding to go for this one again, knowing it's gonna entertain me.
