Reviews

Critical reception of An Affair: My Friend's Mother 2 has been mixed, reflecting its niche genre and explicit content. On the review aggregator IMDb, the film holds a modest rating of 5.3/10 based on audience feedback, indicating a divided response. Some viewers appreciated the film for its bold exploration of unconventional relationships and praised Seo Won's performance for adding depth to a potentially controversial storyline. A reviewer from Asian Movie Pulse commented, “While the film leans heavily on erotic elements, it does not shy away from portraying the emotional consequences, which adds a layer of sincerity often missing in similar genre films.” However, others criticized the movie for its slow pacing and reliance on erotic scenes, which, according to a review from HanCinema, “sometimes overshadow the narrative, leading to a disjointed viewing experience.” The film has not been widely reviewed on major international platforms such as Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic, indicating limited global reach. Overall, critics suggest that the film appeals primarily to audiences interested in adult romance dramas and may not suit viewers looking for conventional storytelling.
