1. The plot
Sweet & Sour is a refreshingly realistic romantic comedy that depicts both the bliss of being in love as well as the tough times in a relationship. The movie follows Jang Hyeok and Jung Da-eun, who become a long-distance couple when Jang gets a new job opportunity. Their once sweet relationship changes as the distance impact them in more ways than one.
In his new job, Jang faces temptation when his new colleague, Han Bo-yeong shows interest in him. While he initially rejects her advances, he's clearly affected by her as he mistakenly calls his girlfriend by Han's name.
Will Jang and Jung's love stand the test of time? Or rather the distance? Or will he choose the new girl that he can't seem to take off his mind?
