  One thing someone who wants to watch this movie should take note is that you have to have watched the two episode drama before hand. Sure, the movie gives you a preview of what had taken place in the drama before the actual story kicks in, but still, for me, it loses some of the magic if you haven't watched the series first. And that's because you can't identify with the romance and the chemistry of the love triangle. The story focuses on a girl who is involved with two boys, an evil one who treats her like his slave and forces her to do his bindings, and an angel like boy, who becomes her knight on white horse. The story is okay, though you can figure it's outcome easy enough, as the girl claimers from the very beginning that the dark prince has a soft side. But still, you hope that she will realise that he only treats her violently and actually bullies her, and choose the guy that actually suits her. There are some twists with the concept of friendship being threaten because of love is being thrown in the mixture, and that was a nice touch that aided the otherwise so so plot. Finally, the performances were okay (I've learned afterwards that one of the boys is singer in a Japanese band, so I will not judge him too harshly for his acting skills), so 2 out of 10.
