I liked the movie. Like the idea of telling two different stories in a movie. I liked how all the information about the characters weren't spoon-fed to the audience even the makers explains they've left the blank spaces for your imagination. Red vacance was a raw material in my opinion the husband's character was underdeveloped yet it did it part in the story. I liked their choice for going with the same character for the role of the professor. Black wedding was a deeper and slow pace movie I prefer these kinda movie of the prior one. And the ending is just marvelous.

Unique in its own way
Erotic movie with not enough sex scenes
I see that for genres you put "comedy" and "drama", you should've added "erotic" because that's what it is. An erotic movie with not enough sex scenes. The erotic scenes with In-hye Oh and Ji-hye Ahn are the only good things about this movie. I think they could've been better though, the actors play out those sex scenes without even kissing. It makes it hard to believe that they are attracted to each other.
Seeds of greatness drowned in seas of dull
There are a few brief redeeming qualities to this pair of movies. First, Ji-hye Ahn and In-hye Oh ARE hot as hell, and bare their chests, and that alone almost makes it worth it if that's what you're here for. There were several moments of weird surrealism in the first (Red Vacation) and one particular scene of uncomfortable drunkenness in the second (Black Wedding) that almost sold the movie for me, if it hadn't been for all the filler.
Unfortunately, the first film feels like a director's first film, lingering on every shot for no particular reason, just because Criterion movies also lingered with purpose. At least it tried to play up a bit of camp, and it would have been much better if it had more. The second suffered from a lack of direction and nonstop shakycam: every scene is hand-held instead of set on a tripod. Combine with a banal story, that only gets interesting in the last five minutes, and it's really hard to sit through. Almost every moment of both segments felt like a chore just to watch, so little happens with so little meaning.
The video quality is atrocious, even for Amazon video. Not only is it not HD, it's such low quality SD that it looks like a 1CD XviD download from 2003. All of the beautiful scenery in the first segment is utterly spoiled by the low quality. That may not be the director's fault, but this is how many people will watch it, so it's valid. Amazon video is horrible.
Ultimately, whether it's drama, comedy, weirdness, or nudity that you want, you'd be better off getting it elsewhere.
