`Sex is Zero 2' Loses Its Edge

After a night of partying, Eun-sik (Im Chang-jung) finds himself in a compromising position in the college sex comedy ``Sex is Zero: Season.''

 

 

While the ``American Pie'' trilogy cooked up a stir in the United States, Korea had its own version of a witlessly wholesome sex comedy, ``Sex is Zero'' (2002). It's always hard for sequels to live up to the glory of their predecessor, but such biting reality hit ``Sex is Zero: Season 2'' especially hard ― slapping the tasteless college story in the face over and over again.
In ``Zero 2,'' the popular actors from the first installment reconvene and the narrative elements are tweaked here and there. Good-hearted Eun-sik (Im Chang-jung) is a law student who, driven by his hormones, is more preoccupied with checking out miniskirt-clad legs in the library than preparing for the state exam.
