Reviews

Sister-in-law's Taste 2 received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, the film holds a modest rating of around 5.5/10, reflecting divided opinions. Some viewers praised Ha Jin's performance for bringing depth to an otherwise controversial storyline, noting that the film explores adult themes with a nuanced perspective. One review on a Korean cinema forum commented that "the sequel brings more emotional complexity and better character development compared to its predecessor." However, several critics pointed out pacing issues and felt that the film sometimes relied too heavily on erotic elements at the expense of plot coherence. Rotten Tomatoes does not list the film, indicating limited international critical coverage. Metacritic also lacks a score due to sparse reviews. Overall, the film is regarded as a bold but niche adult drama that appeals primarily to viewers interested in exploring unconventional familial relationships within Korean society, rather than a broad audience. It is both praised for its candidness and critiqued for its narrative execution.
